Turns out, it was pretty cool. Apparently there's a lot of shopping to be done there and the eating is better than London (the food really does kinda suck, unless you know where to go). Also, they said that the Beatles in a Cab thing is actually pretty fun. You get to go in some of the Beatles houses and see all their old haunts.
I semi regret not going. Ah, whatever. I had a good time anyway! I finally got to sleep in, until 2 pm!!! Sweeet. I kinda just lounged around for a few hours, messing around on the computer and stuff. Did I mention the TV doesn't work? -_-
Finally, around 3 or 4 I decided to actually get ready and go out. And I did. I took the subway to Covent Garden and actually had a lot of fun. There is a lot of cool shopping around there; all the travel books say so, so this is nothing new. Across the street from Covent Garden is a little area called the Jubilee Market and it has lots of cheapish clothes and bags at independent stalls. I didn't buy anything there, but it's interesting. I walked around the area nearby the exit for Covent Garden Station and found an H&M. I tried on stuff for like an hour and eventually bought a cute jacket and shirt. Then, I went back to Covent Garden and found some food to eat in the form of a pizza and coke. It was the first not ridiculously expensive food that I have had in London. It was good, too; so look for the food stands there.
After that I headed back to the flat and called the old ones. They hadn't even left Liverpool yet, and it was a 2 hour train ride back. Until after 10, when they got back, I talked to my peoplz online.
Something I learned today: The underground is not air conditionered. The massive amounts of people on it cause it to get really hot. All the poor people sweat. Thus, making it the stinkiest place in the city.
