Since I work in Camden, I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to flex my directional prowess and show off a bit on my ability to get people places. Ha. That's a good one. It all started when the tube was closed and there was a bunch of confusion on the buses. But oh well. Nothing could distract us from an absolutely gorgeous day outside and lots of cheap buys.
Though I work in Camden and one of my co-workers showed me around a bit, the Camden I saw on the weekdays was not the same as the one on the weekends. It was crazy. I knew on my first day at AP that I would stick out like a sore thumb until I got into the building, but it was even more clear to me today. Seriously, I think people thought I looked crazy. It's not that I looked like a typical tourist. I've started to put effort into what I'm wearing everyday to avoid that, but Camden really slapped me in the face.
Everyone was dressed differently, but they had it really going on. They just looked straight up fabulous. Not in a designer-wearing way, but a "I know exactly what kind of style I like to wear, and I rock it" kind of way. I became uncomfortably aware of the fact that my "style" hear is very plain. It probably looks painful for most people.
But anyway, the walk around the market was pretty incredible. There were so many different kinds of vendors in so many different nooks and crannies that we got lost a couple of times. There is something there for everyone in that market. Whether different tastes in clothing or ready-made food, be prepared to get your mind blown. It was pretty awesome. The best part was, was that there was that diversity of people. Most knew exactly where to go, but others were exploring, just like us.
After we had or fill of the market, we headed back to get ready for the night. The big FA Championship game was on, and all of us were going to a place that was playing the game. My flat was slow, so we watched the game while we were getting ready, but missed the end when we were heading over to the pub.
'Til tomorrow.
