No naan?

With a four day weekend, you have many options on what to do especially when you are in a city like London. Today, me and Rachel went down to Brick Lane, a street famous for their Indian restaurants and somewhat respectable prices. Here are some pictures of the area:

If you look closely you can see the Brick Lane road sign on the right.

Here are a bunch of the Indian restaurants.

So once we settled on a place that was cheap and/or a buffet, we sat down an began to think about the great Indian food that we were about to intake. However, there was one flaw with the place we choose. There was no naan. For all of those who do not know what that is, well its is possibly the best part about going to an Indian Restaurant. It is basically a flat bread that is uber good. Since we were already sat down and ready to eat whatever we got a tortilla shell thing instead. For my courses, I got chicken tikki and a chicken curry that was pretty spicy. Here is a picture:


After eating, we went somewhat back towards the city and ended up finding Spitalfields Market. This market was the nicest we have seen yet; it was basically a better, less crowded version of Portobello. In the market there were numerous restaurants and stalls with offices surrounding it (a great urban space). Here are some pictures for the rest of the day:


After admiring the positive outdoor space and lively sidewalks, we decided to go home so Rachel could work on her Art History Project. But first, I needed to pick up somethings on Oxford Street and we ran into this famous graffiti painting. Here it is:

I know its a little hard to tell, but the art work is of a kid painting on the wall "One nation under CCTV" and there is a cop yelling at them.

Well, I am off to Amsterdam in less than 12 hours. Look out for that blog sometime next week.
