Loving London

I have been meeting the nicest people on this trip both students and Londoners. Two days ago I went with some friends to find dinner down on Lower Marsh. We wanted to go into a sushi bar but it didn't open til 5:30 and it was only 4:45. So we went into this little cafe/sandwich place next door to it to kill some time. It turns out it was a bed and breakfast and the rooms were up above the shop. The chef, Chris, sat down to talk to us when he didn't have customers and this older gentalman, Mickey, sat at a table across from us and joked with us to pass the time. It turns out Chris and Mickey have been friends for several years and Mickey lives in one of the rooms above the shop. We spent over an hour just sitting in there talking about where we were from and what we were doing in London. Mickey liked to pick on our accents, the two other girls have very noticable southern accents and he really liked to make fun of how they said things. Of course we would in turn pick on how they said things. Both men were super sweet and told us we better come back while we are here. We then went over to the sushi bar for dinner and all of a sudden Chris comes walking into the resturant through the door that leads to the toilets!!! The three of us just stared at him for a minute and started laughing when he noticed us. It turns out he owns both the sandwich shop and the sushi place and they are connected through a little hall way that leads to the bathroom!!! He then went back to tell Mickey that we were over there. Mickey came and talked to us as we ate our dinner. They were both super sweet and loved to joke around which was super fun. These are just two of the several nice people I have met here, however they probably made the biggest impact on us, other than the bartender Conner at Stamford Arms, who just loves us! I can't wait to walk back down to that little shop for lunch and just sit there and talk to them for several hours while I have nothing else to do. I am looking forward to meeting super nice people here. Now I must go back to attempting to write a three page paper, I could be here awhile. :(
