En onsdag i London!

Jeg har vinterferie i denne uge, så derfor var jeg i går i London sammen med Eleonora (Italien), Laura (Schweiz), og Valentina (Italien) – de samme personer som jeg tog til British Museum med. Vi mødtes også med en af Eleonoras venner hjemmefra, der også er en udvekslingsstudent her i England, dog i South Hampton.
Vi gik først vejen fra Charing Cross til Oxford Circus for at komme denne Mexicanske restaurant, som Laura havde anbefalet. Restauranten var Wahaca, som er en Mexicansk restaurant der sælger mange af de traditionelle mexicanske retter, man finder i Mexicos gader. Noget som jeg rigtig godt kunne lide ved denne restaurant var, at man kunne vælge to eller tre (eller gerne flere) små retter til en rimelig god pris, i stedet for en større hovedret, så man kunne smage flere forskellige retter. De havde dog stadig normale hovedretter på menuen. Vi fik først en fælles omgang tortilla chips på bordet, før at jeg fik min smoky chipotle chicken quesadilla og min sweet potato & feta taquito. Begge af mine retter smagte rigtig godt, og jeg anbefaler dem hvis du en gang finder sig selv i en af deres restauranter, men alt på menuen lød super lækkert.

Efter vores frokost hoppede vi på nogle af de Santander cykler, som man kan leje rundt omkring i London, og cyklede til Tate Modern i Southbank. Jeg faldt måske eller måske ikke af cyklen på vejen derhen... Tate Modern er et af Tates fire gallerier, og denne i London er for international morderne- og nutidskunst. Vi tilbragte et par timer i galleriet, før at vi tog toget tilbage til Tunbridge Wells ved syv-tiden.

// I have half-term this week, so yesterday I was in London with Eleonora (Italy), Laura (Switzerland), and Valentina (Italy) – the same people I went to British Museum with. We also met one of Eleonora’s friends from home, who also is an exchange student here in England, however in South Hampton.
First we walked the way from Charing Cross to Oxford Circus to get to this Mexican restaurant that Laura has recommended. The restaurant was Wahaca, which is a Mexican restaurant that sells many of the traditional Mexican dishes you can find on Mexico’s streets. Something that I really liked about this restaurant was that you could choose two or three (or more) small plates for a reasonable price, instead of a bigger main dish, so you could taste a variety of dishes. Nonetheless they still had normal size dishes on the menu. We all shared a portion of tortilla chips as a starter, before I had my smoky chipotle chicken quesadilla and my sweet potato & feta taquito. Both of my dishes tasted really good, and I do recommend them if you ever find yourself in one of their restaurants, however, everything on the menu sounded super delicious.

After our lunch we jumped on those Santander cycles that you can rent round in London, and biked the way to Tate Modern in Southbank. I may or may not fall of the bike on the way to the gallery... Tate Modern is one of Tate’s four galleries, and this one in London is for international modern and contemporary art. We spend a few hours in the gallery, before we took the train back to Tunbridge Wells at seven o’clock.
