Reality Check + British Cuisine

We have not conquered the city yet. We are no where close and will never be. We just got back from the bar crawl. Epic fail. Couldn't find our way and got lost. 15 people went and not one person had a map on them. Lesson learned.

On a much lighter note, we did have a pretty fun time and went to our first Balti House in Shoreditch tonight. In our search for a lively bar we found the holy grail of Balti Houses in London. We came to a brick intersection and were instantly coaxed in to trying to come to these different restaurants by different people working the block. Huge neon signs were stamped on each restaurant. This one guy told us the first round of drinks were on the house and that's all it took. Next thing I knew, I was having a bowl of Chicken Tikka Masala. The cool thing about these curry places is you can B.Y.O.B or bring your own beer.



Note: I don't know how British people can mix drinks with curry food. Anglo-Pakistani curry food is not the most rewarding on the digestive tract. Kudos to the Brits.
