it's curry time!

Today was filled with shopping/mainly browsing and eating, and attending a rather boring (but important!) safety meeting in-between. Stacie and I headed to the Manchester Arndale in the afternoon to see what it was all about. But before we went in, we stopped by a neat little music store called Fopp. Manchester is well-known for its music scene, and I really want to attend a local concert while I'm here.

Back to the Manchester Arndale: It's another very large shopping center in the UK. Surprise, surprise. But it was nice to look at more UK shops and some familiar American ones as well. We couldn't resist buying three bars of fancy chocolate from a fancy chocolate store. TREAT YO SELF.

It was so hard to choose.

At night, Stacie and I met up with a few of our friends to eat at a place on Curry Mile. The safety meeting for our hall took longer than expected, so we were late to the original meet-up spot and couldn't find them. Luckily, they were sitting near the entrance at the most vibrant looking restaurant on Curry Mile called mylahore. And what is the Curry Mile, you ask? It's a street filled with South Asian restaurants and shops, and the whole area smells amazing due to the rich spices and ingredients used in their dishes. I absolutely love Indian food, and the chicken masala did not disappoint. Oh, and the garlic naan. You must have the naan! Their portions are also pretty big, so I'm glad I have leftovers for tomorrow's dinner in order to relive the experience. I really think we should start the "Curry Mile Club" and make this a weekly get together where we try a different curry house each time.

This is how it's done.
