Weekend in London: Brick Lane & Home Karaoke

Just got back from a weekend in London with some of my old crew from LSE (John, Camilla & Gareth) as well as a few of Nils' friends from Canada (Ryan, Mike and Mike) who came over to enjoy the warm, flat ale and famous England weather.

As per usual we headed to Brick Lane for dinner. A quintessential London experience, eating at Brick Lane involves bartering a price for copious quantities of Indian food. Thing is, there are dozens of restaurants all trying to lure you into their particular establishment. Sometimes you get a good one, and sometimes you end up in the hospital. Ok, it's not that bad, but you know when you've chosen poorly. In any event, no such trouble this time as we ended up at an excellent place. One of the best we've eaten at no less. It was called Dawat (East side of Brick Lane close to the Whitechapel end). I'd recommend the Lamb Pasanda and Peshwari Naan.

Afterwards we headed to a local pub for some brews and good company. The fun didn't end there though, as after returning home we discovered home karaoke on John and Camilla's PS2. Embarrassing - maybe. Good 4am fun - definitely.

Throughout the night I snapped a few pictures to try out my new camera (Canon IXUS 800 IS). See below.




Cheers,
