Like last time, my exam (which was for my Corporations Law subject) was held at the University of East London. I was quite happy with how it went considering how last-minute the majority of my studying was!!! :S Thankfully it was an open book exam, so if I didn't know the answer I simply looked it up - it's quite a strange feeling to be able to do that in an exam!
Afterwards, I hopped off the tube at Canary Wharf for a bit of exploring. I didn't know what was there but could vaguely recall reading something about a nice shopping area.
Anyway, as soon as I stepped out of the tube station I was surrounded by enormous skyscrapers in what was obviously a high-flying financial district. There were giant towers containing acres of reflective glass with identifying logos right at the top - HSBC, Bank of America, Barclays, Reuters etc - and lots of professional-looking people striding around in dark suits. I also found Canada Square, which had an ice skating rink in the centre.
I didn't do much at Canary Wharf, just bought a book and had some lunch before continuing on home, but here are a few photos that show a different side of London to what has previously been focused on in this blog - i.e. modern, expensive and impressive instead of old, expensive and impressive! Note the window cleaners at work - AURGGHHH!!!

Eeek! Don't think I'd be able to focus too well on cleaning the window up that high! Wish I could watch the videos - I'm in the library so can't at the moment. :( Will be sure to check them out though...Btw, have a great valentines day. I'm going out for a candlelit Thai dinner... ;)
NO THANK YOU - no window cleaning up THAT HIGH!!!!!!!!
