Brighton, Pacha London

Last weekend I went to Brighton with Charlotte and Romana. I really like Brighton. It is just what I imagined a British 'seaside' town would be like. It has loads of cool little lanes of shops, great cafes, and the Pier! I can see how the novelty would wear off fast but it's a such a cute little place. As soon as we got off the train in Brighton we were talking about living here at some stage. It would be a great place to live for about 2 months to get away from the bustle of London. Definitely a summer-time place though, it's a little grim when the weather isn't nice.

We went on the Crazy Mouse ride (I got a nice big bruise on my arm from being thrown from one side of the seat to the other) - it was quite scary! We had fish n chips on the 'beach' :-) .. and regretted it for about 4 hours afterwards (I felt like i ate a bucket of grease). We meandered down all of the lanes and didn't buy anything - shock, horror! We went to the Brighton Museum & Art Gallery in the Pavilion Gardens which was interesting, and finished the evening with a bottle of vino and tapas at Ohso Social right on the beach next to the Pier.

Last week I went to see the History Boys in Soho Curzon - cute cinema but don't bother to go see the movie. I also tried Wagamama in Leicester Square - the food was the same but the Chain doesn't seem as upmarket here, it was much more family-type, with brighter lighting and a high turnover attitude, feed em quick and get em out quick.

On Wednesday it was Sarah's birthday dinner - Mexican on Clapham High Street - it was a nice place but the food was spicey!! I thought I could handle spicey food after Thailand but its been a while since I ate any Thai.

On Friday we all had a girl's night on the town - Pacha London. I was looking forward to this and a little bit nervous as it's supposed to be very glam. It's a nice club and I had a really fun night out although I'm not entirely sure what the fuss is about so I don't think I'll rush back there. Some photos coming soon.

Next weekend, a night at Turnmills could be on the cards for Halloween - Dimitri from Paris!! :-D
