A few fun things have happened in the past couple days! Olivia and I saw PotO @ the West End, and it was superb! Brilliant! (though it’s very hard for me to compare it and the Broadway shows -> both are phenomenal. I use this amazing website called SeatPlan to find reviews of specific seats in theatres. Some ticket descriptions give "partial/obstructed view" when really it's not bad at all (I especially love when people post photos of the views from their seats). For specific shows like Phantom of the Opera (where sees the top of the set is pretty key) it was great to be able to know where to sit for the best view we could get. We ended up using a discount ticket seller near Trafalgar Square, but there are a bunch of amazing websites I've found for discount tickets!
"He's there, the Phantom of the Opera! Beware, the Phantom of the Opera!"
When I went to Paris, I got to see the ORIGINAL Box 5, plaque and all!
That night we went to Rumba (eh…) and O’Neils (always a good time!) Walking around after in Trafalgar and Leicester Squares after was very fun!
Friday was a rush to get to Bloomsbury, but then I got to spend the Shabbis w/ Nathalie, Sofia’s friend from seminary! I met a great community, and will definitely go back! Today (Sat) we went to the Wellcome Collection after lunch 😃 We saw a medical exhibit, and just relaxed for a bit.
This night I walked all over Central London to see “Lumiere London,” an amazing light show set up throughout garden and parks all over the city! It was a great excuse to explore, and I took some beautiful photos! There were a few exhibits I didn’t get to see, but I might go back tomorrow, so we’ll see! (I also got to Facetime Same at the London Eye 😊)
I made dinner at the flat and ended the day watching Game of Thrones with some flatmates. A very good few days :)
Best!
