Ahhhh! Ahhh! I woke up to Joe yelping that his ankle hurt. What the f*&$#udge?! Buzz coming fast from behind...run into the kitchen! Joe got stung by a wasp in the middle of winter, inside of our flat, in London! Did I mentioned 'in'side. Joe had his revenge when he released fury on the small buzzing killer with an old edition of 'London Time Out'. It's rare that Joe gets angry, so I just had to laugh that he was letting it out on a wasp. To be funny, he calls himself the 'Wasp Whisperer' = one that is able to tame ANY wasp (in reference to the 'Dog Whisperer'). Training method involves some sort of death :).
Thank goodness for the internet because we were scrambling to find out what the heck we should do! After Joe stopped yelping I put on some 'buck fah yiao' (chinese medicine called white flower embrocation on the box haha, never looked at that). Works wonders on any bug bite.
Anyhow, Joe scoured the internet to make sure he wouldn't be poisoned to death and found this video below. It's quite scary, yet you can't look away.

This weekend has been themed the 'do a few things we never do in London'.
1) Last night went to Camden to check out 'Outside Royalty' at Dublin Castle. An indie band that came from the states to London in hopes of finding a record deal. The violinist, Echo, is a friend of Eurie's (one of London Transplants).
2) Finally went to the Natural History Museum, and saw the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. It was crazy to see 14-17 year olds commended for their work. You read the descriptions of the photos and it goes something like, I was with my parents on an African Safari shooting photos with a $2000+ camera. What a life. Well, their photos were not bad either :).
3) Go party in the East Side, Shoreditch. Joe and I live in West London and it takes us about an hour to get to the East side! Gonna go hang out near Old Street tonight at Favela Chic, considered the very cool and hip, yet still slightly rugged/raw (like Manhattan East Side :). Wish us luck with London transportation. Not sure it will help though :P
