I rarely venture very far from my dorm unless I'm going to the tube or have directions to a specific restaurant (which tend to not end up existing). Today, however, a friend and I got to wander around Shoreditch and the area around my dorm, which was really interesting and fun!
We went on a street art tour that was very near my dorm last week, so we looked out for the street art we had seen that night as well as some new ones. It was nice to see some of the same things during the day, discover some new pieces, and see some by the same artists. We ended up popping into a couple shops and wandering through Pitfield Market. I bought a travel guide to Spain from 1826 with an old foldout map and everything in it. It was only 3 pounds! We also went in a couple of vintage shops near Brick Lane and some quirky gift shops.
On our way back towards my dorm, we stopped in a cafe called Danji Kitchen, which had like 15 kinds of tea. My friend had the Nirvana Blend, which was an herbal blend with spearmint in it, since she loves mint (which I'm not a fan of). I had the Cocoa Chai, because chai is clearly the best kind of tea. It tasted like the fandom tea I have at home that was inspired by the 10th Doctor (David Tennant). Best of all, it was only 1.80 for my own pot of tea.
After chatting and enjoying our tea, I walked her back to Old Street. She left, and I put some money on my extra Oyster Card for when Zoe gets here. Only 3 more days!
