Jacob's Adventures in London pt.47

I do volunteer work at the cartoon museum in london. Gotta bolster that CV. I read books and do the till and guide visitors and draw, and it's generally very relaxed. The girl in the shift before mine is a friendly nigerian weeaboo who I had met two years ago in a completely unrelated scenario, but we didn't realise until I mentioned the location offhand. Small world. But I digress.

I was in london early doing other stuff so I showed up an hour before my shift. I went to a table and started drawing. Then this 4 year old chinese girl came over, said "hello" and watched me draw for about 10 minutes. She turned some of the pages and saw some chinese characters somewhere, and went to get her older brother. Then their parents came over and stared at me for another 10 minutes before saying anything, as chinese people seem to do.(:lol:)

The mum started chatting to me and was complimenting my work, and asked me the difference between a comic and a cartoon. I told her how the english language is a mess, and she asked if I knew any chinese, so I wrote my name in chinese. Her son's eyes bulged and he shook my hand, saying "my name is jacob too!". Bear in mind that the exact same thing happened to me while I was in China, except I was the one who took the photo.

So basically she took a photo of us and is going to email it to me when she gets home.  :lol:

I could fill twenty posts about the odd people I meet here, but it's a small world and one of them is probably (v/s)ierra's mum or something.
This is why you're one of my favourite people here. Proceed.

Honestly, it's time to give men some formal clothing that doesn't melt their legs during the summer  :dead:
Shorts?
And how will people know that you are important if you are not being asphyxiated by your own clothes?
 
Whilst we're talking about breakfast, I ran out of bread yesterday, and intended to pick up a loaf last evening on my walk home after going out. Things took a little longer than intended though, so in the end I still didn't have bread. And because I never like going out to do one single little thing, especially in the morning, I had lentil stew for breakfast. Not bad, really.
That being said, it's high time I went out to shop. I'm all out of stew.
