Cheers from London, Part 3.

So today was the day after the race and I’ll get to that in the video. Just this right now: It was an amazing experience and even though Oxford lost, you can only be proud of the guys!!!

I wanted to do only three things today, but I was running around the city for 10 hours to do so. That’s just how big London is. Today’s post is also an iPhone edition, because I couldn’t take my regular cam to the Fulham game.

My first stop was the Sunday Up Market near Brick Lane. Small booths offered fashion items like shirts, hats, glasses and also art and bootleged music (Or is there maybe any other word for CDs that are recorded from vinyl??).

Dan Hillier has also a booth on this market and I went to check it out and have a brief conversation with him, because he has a design in the ‘Sag es mit einem Design’ contest from Freiraum and in my opinion he does some extraordinary work, that I haven’t seen from anybody else.

On this market I found a booth with lots of these blocks. I just had to get me some.

Outside on Brick Lane, there was also lot of stuff going on like it apparently does on every Sunday.

I also noticed an incredible amount of vintage shops everywhere I went here in London.

Some American Apparel Sale was going down, too.

Around this area I found lots of streetart, cool designs and again some stickers. :)

After I only could spent about an hour there, I had to rush to Putney again to catch the Premier League game between Fulham FC and Wigan Athletic. I had to go to one of those, while I’m here.

What I really like was that this an old stadium and not a new football palace. In the picture above you can see, that from the street, it looks like an old fabric or something.

He has to be to them what MJ was to the Bulls.

And finally, this was the view from my seat. It was tough to decide, whether to follow the game or observe this poor guy in the orange jacket, because his tough battle against not falling asleep was much more entertaining. But the second half offered a much better effort, so there was no question anymore. And I’m glad about it, because otherwise I don’t know, if I would’ve seen the ball coming directly into my direction at one point. Unfortunately, I had to throw it back. Would have been a nice souvenir. Oh, and Fulham also scored two goals in the second half to their 2-1 victory.

The weather was really great today, so I could enjoy my walk along the Thames back to the Underground station. And yes, you can call me a Fulham fan from now on! Hehehe…

My final task for the day was to spoil my stomach even more with the best pizza in town. And man, is this a pizza or what?? You don’t even see the plate anymore. Also tasted amazingly.

I also noticed this on my way home.

I’ll be leaving for Oxford tomorrow to chill with Simon, so don’t expect me to post from there. See you, when I’m back in Frankfurt.
