hello from london [part twenty-five and a half]

hello friends

now that my big distraction [double sigh, major cry!] has moved and set up shop in hamburg, i can go back to having adventures in london worth writing home about.

last night i was at a friend’s house helping her with some production. i caught the bus home at midnight and when i got off at shoreditch high street, i breathed in the cold crisp air, side-stepped a fashionable east london couple and thought “i am back!”. i am back to rummaging through jumble sales, scoffing cakes at broadway market, searching for that elusive fun place to dance, and hanging with my shrinking number of friends. yay!

do you want to hear some news? i changed the date on my return ticket and am coming home for a visit on june 14. no umming and ahhing, this is for real! it is booked! will you be there? i hope so. chinese noodle restaurant, billy kwong, nepalese kitchen, bourke street bakery, yum cha, gelato at bar italia, my parent’s restaurant, the thai place in bondi junction, any sushi place [i do not care where, just take me], anyone? you must think i am starved for food here. it is not true but i do miss how accessible good food is in sydney. i miss the supermarkets, canned tuna, rozelle markets, poepke, the beach, chinatown, actually knowing where places are, and you. i miss you!

are you excited? i am!

love
