My roommate is, as I said, from NY and she is here studying film through her school. I am getting used to navigating the underground, though I still manage to get lost occasionally. Yang and I are planning weekend trips to France and Germany via the Eurostar Chunnel. It's only a little over a hundred dollars to take the train there and back from London--it seems like it would be a waste not to! Food, thus far, has been the most expensive thing here (just because we have to buy it and there is no such thing as a meal--particularly not a filling one--that cost less than the equivalent of $10 each). Yang and I saw King Lear at the Globe as groundlings--meaning we stood in the yard directly in front of the stage for the entire play, which is over 3 hours long. It was amazing, but our feet were definitely sore afterwards. Yard tickets at the Globe are only 5 pounds.
