Natural History Museum and Harrods

Before I had to dive into the loads of homework I have this week Sarah and I decided to have a little fun.  We went to the Natural History Museum.  This place is gorgeous inside and out.  It’s huge too.  We only got to see the section about whales, elephants, and animals that resemble those because of the time, but I definitely want to go back if I get the chance.

We were short on time because Sarah has kitchen duty this week but before we had to go back we wanted to check out Harrods.  I like to think of myself as a pretty well dressed person but inside this store I felt like a hobo.  Man, this store is nicer than some museums I’ve been in before.  And it’s safe to say that Sarah and I legitimately got lost inside.  There is so much to see and their floor directories (once you actually find one) stink.    We definitely want to go back….next time wearing our nicest clothes and high heels.

After finally getting out of that maze we headed home.  Sarah was nice enough to go to some random place off Bayswater with me to get my western union wire from mom and dad.  We found the place with little difficulty but getting the money from the people was a little harder.  First off the lady was Asian and could speak very little English, and the English she did speak was in a British accent.  Conclusion: understanding a Chinese British accent is way harder than understanding a British accent.

Anyway I filled out the paper and handed it back to her.  She pointed out that I had written the wrong first name for the sender. Huh? Dad sent it, so it had to have been Bruce.  Confused I asked her if a Bonnie had sent it.  Her reply: “Sorry, can’t give details.”  Are you serious? This is ridiculous.  About three attempts later I finally put Joseph down on the paper, which was the right answer thank goodness.  Dad, when did you start putting Joseph down as your name?

 Whether it's Joseph or Bruce, now that I have the money I just need to buy an international phone and call my bank to get this mess figured out with my credit and debit cards.  Wish me luck!

p.s. dinner tonight was actually pretty good! Chicken curry.  It made me miss mom’s food and My Thai.
