Europe CNY 2012
Day 5 - 23rd January - Cambridge
I've decided to reduce the number of photos I post, sacrificing perfectionism for faster load times (and hopefully finally finishing my travelogues).
My moving to NGNBN has also increased upload speeds. I will also be more ruthless about publishing travelogue entries, even if they push older posts out of the way (e.g. 4 hours ago there was a post on Nice Guys) or otherwise (e.g. Day 4 was just posted, but I'm quite free and am in the mood right now).
Hopefully all of these will speed output. Perhaps I can even stay less than a year ahead of my travels.
The rest can be found on Facebook for those on my friends list anyway.

Tomatoes on the vine!

"Golden Pizza" - a Chinese takeout selling Pizza
For Breakfast I had a baguette sandwich from Dorrington's but it wasn't crusty, boo.

Are these sauces particularly Malaysian?
Note the Korean-Japanese-Chinese character conversion chart and trilingual signs. Notice what language these signs are not in.
FAIL English teacher/proofreading ad. Note how she didn't bother to update her location after the first mention, and note the English mistakes.
For lunch we went to a Turkish Restaurant. We were there for on the first day, so we profited from a 50% discount!!! At £8,75 the food was excellent value - and the best Turkish food I'd ever had to boot.
Combination kebab platter, mixed mezes, organic homemade bread

Al Amin (Muslim Grocer) mission statement: they don't sell cigarettes because they are harmful (in "when taken in small or larger quantities"). I don't think they sold stuff with transfat either - everything was of Kualiti make,
"Sweet 'N' Spicy. Specialist in Pakistani Halal Cousine"
I hope their food is not sweet (I doubt Pakistani food is). And I hope they don't serve up their female cousins.
Free dumplings - if you understand Chinese characters
Field
"We're going on a Bear Hunt" and other concerts
I went for Evensong at King's College Chapel again. This time I was early so I got to sit inside the choir screen, and the sound was indeed different. On the flip side, sitting at the choir area meant I could hear mistakes.
Pret-a-manger opens for really long
King's Parade
King's Parade: Falungong Protest

Annular Solar Eclipse tour
"Pain aux raisin" and "Latté". Gah. They screw up two languages at once.
I think I took this because pizzas are cheap
Boris and Harry on bed
Halal Golden Buddha - which serves pork (I doubt they have separate food preparation spaces so they probably mean their non-pork meat is Halal-certified)
Supper - prawn toast!
