life outside the viewfinder

On the recommendation of my friends Julian and Yoko, I tuned into BBC 4′s series on Hidden Japan and watched “Japan: A Story of Love & Hate” (available to watch online in the UK until 06 April).

One of the great things that I love about London is the number of new restaurants to try out as well as old favourites to return back to. And this weekend, partly by design and partly by fate, turned out to be a throughly enjoyable yet gluttonous continuous stream of good food catching up with a whole bunch of friends that I’ve not seen for ages.

With Yoko and Julian back in London for a few days, took them so that we could all try a new dim sum called called Yum Cha that Time Out had recommended. Interestingly, it wasn’t in Chinatown but up in Camden which made for a refreshing change of venue.
