Next,we were brought to a welcome reception at a pub. We walked there in the rain, and despite my umbrella, I was wet on my right arm. Lesson #1: Waterproof jackets are a must.
Later that evening, my fellow flatmates (of the pinnacle that is E) bought some groceries at Sainsburys, a Trader Joe's-esque market.

My roommates & I (I'm in a triple) decided to go look for a little coffee shop in Soho. We took the Tube (with the help of an English gentleman who works at the British Museum) from Great Russell Square to Tottenham Court. My first time on the famous Tube with my Oyster card!
We walked about for a bit & ended up at Beard Papa's. Thus ended the first day of meeting London.

Observations:
-People dress well in London. I told my roommates that it inspired me to be better.
-I have really great roommates.
-Londoners walk fast says my Brazillian roommate. I felt quite at home & didn't notice.
