London...

[Sam172]

Went down to London yesterday. It was a good day with 2 of my friends. We shopped around quite a bit, went to eat at Garfunkles. Eventually came home late evening.

Anyway, while there I bought some tea. What I thought would be some nice Genmaicha Green tea, and some lovely Black Dragon Formosa Oolong.

They both taste awful. In fact I would go as far as saying that the genmaicha is possibly the worst green tea I have ever tasted. The formosa oolong on the other hand just isn't right ¬_¬.
So i've wasted nearly £7 on 256g of tea I will probably never drink.
I'll add them to the other 2 teas I bought in Norwich a while ago which were awful too.

<end rant about tea>

Anyway, I saw a girl with the grooviest haircut I have seen in a long time. I didn't think anyone had their hair like that anymore...

I had fun on the underground :D. Ragged that to hell that day.

Sounds like a lot of fun. If you see something called Popcorn tea, thats a Japanese tea thats pretty nice, especially having it with Miso soup.

[Sam172]

Jabber all you wish :)

Is that popcorn tea perchance a greenish tea with puffed rice, and small bits of popcorn in it?

[Birdsnest]

OH, yes it is. I just looked it up, popcorn tea IS the Genmaicha tea you were talking about.

When i've had it, it was in a Japanese restaurant, and pretty good. The green tea is a bit strong though. Well, perhaps you have to have it with all the Japanese flavors to enjoy it.

London is both Heaven & Hell. English people get a great buzz just from looking at the Thames ~~( although it's not beautiful ) because it has so much of our history associated; like Americans looking at Valley Forge or Scotsmen staring wistfully at Arthur's Seat. Some excellent, mainly 19th century, buildings; and a vibrancy in the air. However it like most cities has too many downsides to mention.

You might have enclosed a photo of the girl.

Yes, I probably would have to. I think I brewed it for too long though....it tasted like stewed popcorn :sick: . The green tea part I can handle. I'm used to and actually quite like my tea smelling like a barn :)

I would do if I had taken a camera. I was too worried about some *enter non-pc word for "travellers" here* stealing my new camera. I wish I had taken it after all :(.

like Americans looking at Valley Forge


Been there, done that, wasn't that amazing...

[BritainOphira]

I've never had the least desire to go to Valley Forge. :blink:

But I did go to London a couple weeks ago. Well, London, Kentucky...

[Boozer]

Valley Forge... :D

I grew up in NYC and never visited the Statue of Liberty, it's kind of wierd. I guess you always figure you'll get around to it one day.

[MacGuffin]

I only have the vaguest idea where Valley Forge is and I have no desire to to see it.

Same here.

Can you describe the haircut?

[Sam172]

Down to about the shoulders, thick but really really straight hair. Like an impenetrable wall of straight hair. Parting in the middle to show the face, but with a thick, straight fringe down to the eyebrows.

I'm convinced i've seen some evil girl off a film with the same haircut...

She was probably just misunderstood.
