DAY 2, RAINING

Second day in London and the blue sky already disappeared, and it was replaced with rainfall and wind that blows the cold droplets right in your face. I was extremely tempted to stay indoors for the day.
I have a feeling that the rain would not stop for quite a while, this is London after all...
The sun was great while it lasted...

Which I did.

The search for public libraries wasn't very successful as the results tell me that i have to pay for a membership in order to be able to borrow books, what kind of public library is this...
So the book store became the next best thing, and i was lucky to stumble across a street of book stores and guitar stores.
The fiction books are stored in a cylindrical bookcase in the middle of the store, and i ended up walking around it a lot of times trying to catch every single title in store.  I have a list of books that just keeps on getting longer because i never had the determination to read the books... I guess now is the best time to do so!
Spending the day at the book store is one of my favourite things to do, yes I know I am a nerd... but hiding in the corner with a cup of tea and a book makes you feel so relaxed, and there is no space for any sort of technology there.

Alice in wonderland
1984
To kill a mocking bird
The cat's table
The life of pi
Should have read these a long time ago.

Discovery of the day: Casino Royale is the first James Bond novel by Ian Fleming.

Not every day here in London is going to be exciting, i am expecting to find myself back here a lot more in the next few months.
