Getting ready to leave!

Hello everyone! This is going to be my last post until i get back from my tour de Europe! My roommates and I are all very excited. For those of you that don't know I will be leaving this Friday for Brussels, Belgium and Amsterdam, then Copenhagen, Denmark, and ending in Rome, Italy! We are a little concerned due to the Eurostar (train) braking down multiple times over the past few weeks and everyone getting stuck. But hopefully that wont be happening to us.
This week has been a lot of preparation for spring break, looking up places we want to go and making sure all of our tickets are in order, were not bringing any computer or anything, and I dont really know what to do when Im lost and dont have a computer around, sooo this should be interesting.
Last weekend we went on a Harry Potter walking tour!!! It was a lot of fun. We got to see platform 9 and three quarters and where J.K. Rowling was whens she thought up of everything and you can defiantly see all the relations to London. We even walked some of her route that she had to walk between her home in London and the train station and there is a Minerva Rd! Coincidence? I think nooooottt. Diagon ally, both of the Leaky Cauldrons (since they filmed two). And we even got to Fly (and by fly I mean our tour guide called it flying and we just ran through the streets of London with our arms our in the air).
On Saturday we woke up early and headed to Portabello Market. It was AWESOME! It is by far one of my favorite places I have been so far in London. They had old antiques, food (cooked and fresh), clothes, everything! It had a very cool atmosphere and I just loved it. I got a bag for 5 pounds, a compact mirror for 2 pounds, a key to make a necklace out of for 2 pounds, and a bratwurst for 3 pounds =)
Sunday we woke up to go to CHINESE NEW YEAR!! Well it wasnt the real holiday but it was the celebration weekend. So we went to China town and I bought some snaps (like mini fire crackers kind of?) and a paper dragon that we all decided to wear as a hat instead. There were shows and dragons in the street and fireworks! and street vendors. We got some much needed Chinese food (I got come chicken and rice) It was freezing but well worth it at the end of the night when the fireworks went off and let me tell you!! The Fire works here are very different than the ones at home that require fire trucks and 500 yards of clearance, because we were standing NEXT TO where they were going off, but they were also not going off nearly as tall as those I am used to. It was a blast though and I am very happy we went.
Today I actually went on a Jack the Ripper walking tour! hahaha It was very spooky and educational although it lacked in the area of actually showing us relevant things to the tour and was more just a story being told as we walked. It was still cool to hear about and I love to walk around London!
Tomorrow should be uneventful, and the same for Thursday but if something happens Ill try to remember to tell you all before I leave because I know Ill have WAY too much to talk about when I get back.
Until then....Cheers!
