Last night we met up with Ben’s school and uni friend Matt, Matt’s girlfriend Katie, and a bunch of their friends at a bar named One of 2 near Liverpool St.
After a few drinks with a great bunch of people, Ben and I wandered a few streets to a place called Brick Lane. Basically it’s a lane lined with heaps and heaps of curry houses and is famous for the touts who harass you for business as you walk along, offering all sorts of ‘special deals’. Think Melbourne’s Lygon Street times 10!
Fortunately we had been recommended one of the good ones – Le Taj (Interesting. Can’t decide if they’re French or Indian perhaps?) where we enjoyed the most delicious meal.
Apart from the 1.5hr trek home, as it’s a fair way from where we live plus tube delays, we had a fantastic night and can’t wait to get back to try some more curry.
I must also say that summer finally arrived this week with glorious sunny warm days. It’s overcast and a bit cooler again today but that’s a good thing really as the poor English can’t handle too much of this thing we know as sun!!

Which Matt was it? Big Matt or little Matt?

It was Big Matt.
Little Matt is married with a couple of kids last I heard.

Ben can’t handle the sun either. You could mistake him for an english type guy.

Try the pub called "The Ten Bells" not far from there. Its a real eye opener.
