Going east

A trip east, to Dalston to meet someone for coffee, and what a delight it was to be in that part of town. Such a different atmosphere to genteel Hampstead, with a street market going on, people bustling and talking, an hundred accents and clothes from all over, noise and litter and vibrancy. Coffee was pleasant though perhaps went on too long, as the person I was meeting is very passionate about Indian politics (being Indian) and talked at great length and expected me to be as passionate, which I am not, just despairing. Still, nice to meet someone other than myself.
