Photo of the Day: Shoreditch Cool

August 12, 2011

A friend once told me that you can live a thousand lives in London and still not discover every nook and cranny of the place.

London Life: A Walk in the Park

July 13, 2011

Septembers were my favourite. The walk home from work took an hour and required a diagonal cut through Hyde Park. Belgravia to Notting Hill.

There are small green squares and playgrounds. Corner pubs and flower shops. Restaurants and coffee houses in converted brick […]

Date night

October 2, 2008

So last night, I went on a date. I think. See, this is my problem. I don’t date. I’m bad at it. I was in a relationship for SEVEN years with my high school sweet heart so we missed out on all the normal social development that happens to young adults when they are trying […]
