The work days have been very long this week, since it’s the new opening of the facility. Students are now here, and we’re still behind schedule, so we’re working all day, trying to squeeze in little bits here and there, and arriving early/staying late in order to work when they are not around.

So no time to do much, including eat out. However, at Mooregate Station I discovered (thanks to a co-worker) fast food that is pretty damn cool: Tiffinbites. It’s a fast-food Indian place. So they have your standard Indian dishes, lamb rogan josh, briyani, various tandori, etc. in these little takeaway dishes (plastic tiffin, actually). You pick out what you want and they heat it up, make you some fresh naan, and you are good to go. Or you can pick from a selection of “snacks” like samosa, aloo, poppadums, etc. three for two pounds.

It’s a damn good deal for London and tasty to boot.

Speaking of London pricing… everything here is numerically equivalent… so a t-shirt at the Gap that would be 9.99 dollars in the states is still 9.99 pounds here. Which sucks. With an exchange rate hovering around 1.75, it makes London a pretty expensive city, even if it is really world class.
