Eroe y El bicho que vive en mi coche

Sigo dibujando, no mucho, pero menos es nada. No tengo scanner, asi que voy a tener que funcionar a base de camara de fotos durante un tiempo.

Estoy con dos historias en mente ahora mismo, pero bueno, que va para largo.

Southwark

Today we had a relaxing sunday having a walk in the south part of London.

We first had lunch in Wasabi, a take away which is part of a chain of japanese restaurants. Then we crossed the Thames getting near The London eye.

It's a very touristic place and there's an exhibition with some of Dali's and Picasso's artworks, and a very cheap buffet, maybe we'll have to visit it again another day.


We didn't really do much this afternoon. Just visited that zone walking along the river, looking for books in a market over there and some shopping. We also got into the Royal Festival Hall, to see how it was from the inside. They are showing some anime films these day so I could be interesting to come back.


Some photos of this afternoon:

Phone, home

I've been busy this last weeks as some friends from Spain came to visit us. We visited some places in London and had a barbeque. It's a little bit sad to see the house empty after having so many people visiting.

Today I'll show you part of the house where I'm living now in London. Welcome.

First of all our garden. A good place to sit at night and watch what the neighbours are doing. We have birds and squirrels from time to time visiting us.

The living room, eat, talk and watch "How I met your mother" episodes all in one place.

The kitchen. Where I try to improve my cooking skills. Mission: impossible.

We will continue with the upper floor another day.

Water & chocolate

Yesterday I went to see a play in the south part of London. We got to Southwark Playhouse, a small theatre built inside a tunnel, at 19:30 and watched an adaptation of Like water for chocolate. It was almost in spanish, so we didn't practice english too much, but we had a good time.

The tunnel where the theatre was built is part of the structure which holds up the subways tracks. Sometimes during the play you could hear the subway passing through above us.

At the end of the play there was a talk with the actors where you could ask them any question you wanted. It was interesting to see how the people behind the roles really were.


By the way something has happened a moment ago near our house. A woman could be heard screaming in the street and then the police came. I still don't know what's been going on. I'll keep you informed.

Rice with chicken.

My first meal in London made by myself. After coming some friends of mine gave a cooking book as a present and this is the result. I´m going to try to cook at home because everything is very expensive here, and as I'm not still working I have to save some money. It was a little bit tasteless, I have to remember to add more salt the next time.

In the afternoon we went to a pub near Picadilly to see a football match, The duke of Wellington was the name I think. I don't like football at all but we had a good time talking there. I need to practice english as much as I can.

Then we went to Chinatown and had dinner in one of its restaurants, so I wasted there all the money I had saved in the morning.

Walking through the Soho

Today I've met my friend Crihti at Picadilly Circus. We went to eat some wraps in a place she knew and she's been my tourist guide this afternoon showing me some cool places to eat and go shopping.

English food, towers, bridges and tunnels

On Thursday I went to have walk through the streets with no destiny in mind. I was looking for a traditional place to eat but I couldn't decide were to stop. There were a lot of indian take aways and some english pubs who seemed to be a little bit expensive, so, after walking for a long time, and been very hungry I finally ended having lunch in a Kentucky fried chicken. Not very traditional, I now. Better luck next time.
The rest of the day I went on walking along the Thames, crossing its bridges a few times and visiting the Tower of London and the Tate modern gallery, but only from the outside.

I spent all the Friday organizing my room and writting my CV. I met Duca in Camdem town to have dinner. Then we went to a pub and we found that there was a concert in it. The bands weren't too good but it was enjoyable for a friday night.

Saturday was the IKEA day. Going, buying, carrying back in the tube. All of an adventure.

And yesterday we went to the Waterloo station to see the tunnel were Banksy and other graffiti artists had done their works.
