i was supposed to meet daphne at 11am, but some stupid train in front of mine started smoking and again, i was late for half an hour. haha. and while waiting for me she was picked up by some man who's probably experiencing a mid-life crisis. right, so we went off to the Victoria and Albert Museum to take a look at Kylie Minogue's dresses.

we found the Natural History Museum more interesting - except that i wanted to eat almost everything we saw, oysters, squid, fish...hrm.

the dinosaur daphne thought was the t-rex. apparently the t-rex dinosaur had such short arms that it couldn't reach its mouth. hur.

we squeezed with a million school kids to see the entire dinosaur exhibition and the t-rex simulation.

we also went to the human biology exhibits, which was way too graphic. there was a height chart detailing what height you should be what age but daphne refused to stand next to it. haha.

we found these mirrors and then started taking photos, though i think what she and i saw were quite different because of the height difference. hur.

and then we stopped taking photos. had lunch at Misato (which sparked off a conversation about aneroxic girls), scored some freebie mars planet chocolates,

took the tube to Covent Garden,

and walked a million shops, Aldo, Primark, countless H&Ms, Selfridges & Co...and she bought a fake charger from an Indian roadside stall. haha.

her face is damn small. bah.
