There were only two quotes on the travel noticeboard at Camden Road station this week. The manager has gotten quite used to me taking pictures and we tend to greet each other in the morning, which is somewhat of an interesting consideration.

Here are the travel notices for this particularly sodden April week in London. Enjoy the weekend.
Le Sacre du printemps
The weather in London may have been particularly rotten this Easter Weekend, but that didn’t stop the city’s street artists from getting some work done. I saw this new mural in Stucley Place this morning. The dramatic wall of colour blocking out the grey-scale illustration is almost a reflection of the always overdue transition from…

North Korea, the controversial East Asian state, plans to install its first female supreme leader, delighting the legion of feminist critics who branded the previous regime as sexist, offensive and anachronistic. “This comes from high up, from the top,” said one source in reference to the decision.

McDonald’s newest branch in Hong Kong totally looks like something from George Orwell’s 1984
In an effort to improve their reputation as a “modern and progressive” organization, McDonald’s recently opened the first of its new “high-tech” branches in Hong Kong.
