London Calling...Again

London for the weekend - left Friday afternoon and arrived late because of traffic, so after running to the tube station and being held up by slow French students who couldn't figure out the automated ticket machine, I arrived at a theatre where I was to meet Cambria 5 minutes after 7:00, too late to go into the show. I had to wait another 40 minutes before all the late people were allowed in, when finally I was ushered to my seat to see the last half of a play that I had never heard of. The consolation prize was that Ian McKellan was in the play, as was the British guy in Anaconda and the brunette in Vanity Fair. It was called The Seagull, and the brunette from Vanity Fair was awful. After the play, Cambria and I went to pizza and then to her house via the underground. In the morning I joined her at a rehearsal at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts) for one of her group projects and got in touch with Ieva and set up a meeting later in the day. Cambria and some of her friends ended up having tickets to another play called The Arsonists that afternoon, and there was a cheap ticket left for me to attend as well - it was a modern, short play that was interesting enough. Then Cambria and I had dinner at Giraffe, which was delicious and then waited for Ieva in the Waterloo tube station. Ieva met us and Cambria went home and Ieva and I went to London-China-Town for dinner for her. It was a highlight of my London trip to see her, if only for a few hours! Then I went back to Cambria's house for a girly movie and giggling...
