Never knew where Leicester Square was, except for from one of my favorite Everything But The Girl songs, " Walking To You"... well - a picture of a sushi joint (and the Porsche driving by) around Leicester Square.

After lunch, we walked and shopped and walked some more...

A musical about Queen (the band)

Piccadilly Circus, a tourist spot (a common meeting point for Londoners)
|
|

The small section that Londoners alike are very proud of - the colorful displays (I just call them neon ad signs) at Piccadilly Circus - not as amazing when you compare them to places like Tokyo or Hong Kong, but pretty cool nontheless.

Realized that I needed to go the restroom (a direct result of the various pubs we visited that afternoon), so I do what I normally do - look for a McDonalds or a Burger King - there's one right next door! I went to the second floor, only to discover...
|
|
|
|
... that you have to pay to use the restroom!
|
|
What happens if one gets stuck in the middle? It would be an uncomfortable wait for the firemen to arrive, I suppose...
|
|
Right outside the McDonalds, another pay-per-use toilet. |
|
| After dinner in around "Chinatown", bumped into a bunch of Hari Krishnas...
