DAY NINE:
Today I reseached at the beautiful BRITISH LIBRARY. They had those cute little desks with lights like you see on the movies etc with people facing each other. I found some things on South Africa, but mainly spent time becoming accustomed to the library.
I also went to their exibition and saw a great Stamp Collection, including early S. African stamps. I also saw the Guttenburg Bible and many other old and religious texts and memorabilia of old famous people and ancient maps and books.
Afterwards, I went down to Earls Court to look for the OVC (Overseas Visitors Club). It was really hard to find and after wandering for an hour, I found it, but it is closing down this week I hear.
I feel like I've been here for a long time, I know the bus system with out a map and do things almost like a native now :)
