London, Again

IMG_2707

Before I leave London I visited Leah who just moved to London for school. After taking several buses I met her on the south bank near Kings Cross station. The last time I saw Leah was at my goodbye party and it’s nice to finally see a familiar face after all this time. We decided to check out the Bridge Festival on the Thames River and miraculously the weather in London was nice and sunny.

One of the nights we explored London by bus and got back pretty late. Since neither of us really knows the area that well, we got lost on the way back. Instead of getting off at the right stop we sat on the bus all the way back to Kings Cross station and ended up walking back using tall buildings as a landmark. After we finally got back to the house, her flatmates all told us, that we walked through one of rougher areas of London, who knew?

The next night we went out to a pub bar and I had to catch early morning flight at Heathrow. We headed back around 1 or 2 am and took the bus. On the bus there was a group of French guys. They were harassing everyone on the bus and one of them went and grabbed a girl. The girl was with a pretty big Russian guy and naturally an argument started. Next thing we know a drink is thrown and all the French guys start fighting this one Russian guy. It was ridiculous one of the Frenchies even jump ninja turtle kicked the Russian guy. It got to the point where the Russian guy was on the floor of the bus and the Frenchies were stomp kicking him. Finally other people on the bus stepped in and pushed and fought the group of French guys off the bus. Leah and I quickly got off at that stop and watched the entire incident from away.
