Welcome to 2010

Uhh what's that I hear you say, 2010 actually started 3 months ago...? Well being the tardy blogger I am, my posts are always running late. Plus life moves at lightening speed here (how the hell is it March already?! MARCH?! January just feels like yesterday...)

I thought better late than never, so expect image heavy posts soon, where I just upload pics of all the random happenings in my life over the last few months. Would love to write huge chunks of text accompanying em with tales of whats been going down, but if i did, i fear i'd never finish any of my blog posts, so photos will have to do. Plus a picture is worth a thousand words, right? ;)

So spent New Years in London. Went to go visit my lovely English cousins there. Haha that was my excuse, but really I was there to visit the Holy Grail of retail shopping that is TOPSHOP (I swear I had heart palpitations when I walked into the Oxford St Circus store).

Had a great time with the cousins who all have delightful English accents and got to eat MOMO (DEAR GOD SO GOOD) and proper Nepali food after what felt like a lifetime. Not that I dont enjoy the food that my hostparents cook (they are amazing chefs, each meal is like gourmet Italian and French cuisine - uh Beef Bourguignon for dinner? Yes please!) but I miss ma Mama's Nepali cooking which is really just the best food on Earth, so t'was great having a slice of home.

Since my cousins are also miserable English sods, (hey they freely admitted it themselves! Babs, Myun, Mamta - you know i love you guys :) like all English people (will just take the opportunity to say I love London - it is one of my favourite cities I've been to and this was my second time going back there - and I love England but I strongly dislike English people for a variety of reasons which I shan't go into in this already too long post) who decided to stay at home and watch the news instead of going out and celebrating, I joined Ishan and his friends who were also in town.

We had the best viewing location right across The Thames from the London Eye where we could also see Big Ben. There were massive speakers all across the city and Radio 1 was running a New Years special playlist to try and start a dance party on the streets of London which was such a great idea. Tis such a shame that English people apparently hate dancing and much prefer to stare at their toes in utter misery. Bloody poms :P

Can you spot me looking deliriously happy in the above photo? ;)

As we were making our way back towards Trafalgar Square, right after the fireworks had ended it started snowing. It was absolutely magical. Can't believe it started snowing right at that moment. Ishan and I went insane. What an amazing start to 2010. Still so many good things to come this year!
