8 September

We rode the Hop-A-Bus today, then finished out the afternoon back at the Science Museum. A different route home let us explore the area east of Paddington Station. This area of London is mostly Arabic and is filled with little shops and Arabic delis. It seems like English speakers are in the minority here; we didn't even try to count all the different languages we've heard, mostly because we have no idea what they are.
