| Sunset on the Thames |
The next day I spent the day walking from Southwest London near Clapham Common back to Terry’s in East London. It was an excellent afternoon of walking along the Thames and catching a spectacular sunset. It really was the highlight of the day, though that evening was a ton of fun too. I met up with Nick for a birthday dinner and night out for his friend Zubin (I met Zubin during the pub crawl in London my first week in England). It was great because now Zubin knows that when I said I’d hang out with him again and we’d go to a rave that I wasn’t making an empty promise… Better recognize! I was even able to hang out with Tom again (Also from the pub crawl). We didn’t breach global politics this time around but we did get into self-propelling yourself around the world. I also met several new faces at dinner. Most notably, Camilla, Nick’s sister. I mention this because he’s met my entire family, albeit through Skype, except my eldest sister. It’s enjoyable to continue meeting his as well. Oh yea, dinner was at a Persian-Afghanistan restaurant… yummy!

| Rave preparation... Glowshades, check! |
After dinner, we headed to Village Underground for some much desired night life. Though I didn’t actually make it to sunrise, 4am is pretty close. I must say, my first rave was a pretty positive experience. It wasn’t as sweaty as I expected and the people were actually quite friendly. My ears were definitely requesting some relief very early on, but they survived unscathed. There was also some guy who kept asking me if I was eyeballing him. I thought it was really funny since he was about 5’9” and skinny as a pole. I just laughed and continued rocking my glow stick wristbands, courtesy of Nick and the 1 pound store, until we concluded the evening.

I’ll finish by saying Happy Birthday, Zubin!
