This past Thursday, for our Blog class outing, we went to the infamous Harrod's in London. Let's just say this place is a bit intense. It's like the world of shopping, with Willy Wonka's factory, a pet paradise, and even fossils galore. Walking into the Food Halls was a bit overwhelming. Each room was it's own supermarket, with elaborate chandelier's hanging everywhere. This place has every type of food you could imagine, wish for, try. From Passion fruit from Brazil to lamb samosas from India, this place was insane. I wanted to try everything, but my wallet was a little empty compared to the amount I needed to pay for any of it. The strangest thing I saw was Octopus Sushi, which still had the skin of the octopus on the sides...yuck...
But there were beautiful fruit cakes, cupcakes, sugar fruits, and dutch chocolate that made the weird stuff bearable. The most elegant food was at this ice cream parfait bar that was 16 pounds..just for ice cream...Professor Maune also bought us each a truffle, which was absolutely delicious:):)
We explored other parts of the store, but couldn't get around to too many, this place was huge. We walked around the furniture section of the store for a while, finding extremely creative chairs and whatnot, including a beautiful white kitchen with gold embossing. The most expensive thing i saw however was downstairs, and was a watch that was 92,500 pounds. That's almost two times the amount of my dream car...
Thursday night we saw London Assurance in the Olivier Theatre!! That theatre is truly incredible and was remarkable to actually get to see a play in. The show was very funny, and Aunt Petunia from the Harry Potter movies was in it (and she was the best)!! This themed our fun night afterwards, Harry Potter meets Abbey Road night:)
