Whoooooo likes pictures?


Carnaby Street - the cafe where I was writing/eating is on the right side.
Onto Regent Street now.

Now into Picadilly Square.

There were plenty of angles I could have taken this one from and I think I made a good choice.
Now into a smaller area called Swiss Court Square. It's filled with movie theaters, including my destination - The Prince Charles Cinema.
SWEET price! Totally worth it for the film I saw.

I like pictures! You should go see the Reduced Shakespeare Company at Picadilly Circus. Good show.

Aww and my awesome name got cut off-

It's supposed to say "Wants to name her kids Olive and Dwayne Hoover just be fucking CRUEL" Williams

Shawn wins!

BUT I can see how it is easily read either way.

Anywho, those are the only Times Square/Tokyo style giant video adverts that I've seen thus far. I don't think they are a big thing in London - even in Picadilly Square it was just that one side. THANK GOD.

do you ever get intimidated by london or is your reaction closer to "Yeah uh huh let's go London, don't see Ottawa being cool like this no sir"

I don't find it intimidating, more exciting and exhilirating (well, parts of it! It ain't all fancy bits like what I show on here).

Oddly, I don't ever compare it much to Ottawa - I guess I don't feel drawn to doing so since I already made my choice, you know?

I don't know, I kind of liked those adverts when I was in Japan. Of course, that's because they were very Japanese. I suppose we don't want wasabi in our worchestershire sauce.

Comrade Gulliver.
That should read Picadilly Circus,
not Square.
