Portobello Road, London.
A giant hanging teapot and an old-fashioned taxi - my favorite british combination. 
Shortly afterwards I bargained down a pair of 6 pound earrings down to 5.  Not because I wanted to be cheap about 1 pound, i just honestly didn’t have it but still really wanted the earrings.  The old little lady thought it was the former and said no, but i went back and offered her the difference in euros or dollars.  that was how much i wanted them!  she said to me, “you’re making me feel very mean,” which in turn made me feel very mean.  but i knew i had her then.
as it turned out after i gleefully bought those earrings for 5 pounds, i had a 1 pound coin in my back pocket!
so then i even more gleefully used my last pound to buy these strawberries and they tasted ever so sweet

About

Blogging from my little corner of Seoul, Korea, where I'll be until next fall as a Fulbrighter. My stated research project concerns the experiences of young North Korean defectors in South Korea, but my personal goal is to eat my way through every type of street food. Also, I'd like to personally meet a couple that match-dresses. Say hi! ---Lilian lilee27 -- gmail
