I'll Take the Footlong Chicken Tikka Sub, Please.

Yes, it's true--Subway UK has Indian cuisine on their sub menu!! If you love Indian food as much as Stegen and I do, then you're going to love it here in England. It's not just Subway that has an array of Indian menu options, every grocery store that we've been to carries large quantities of Tikka Masala, naan, aromatic rice, and everything else you need to either make your own Indian meal or take home a pre-packaged one. Needless to say, we've had Indian food at least 5 times since our arrival. Here's Stegen in heaven with his Chicken Tikka sub (FYI, it wasn't truly a $5 footlong. With the conversion rate, it was more like a $7.50 footlong!):


After meeting up with Stegen during lunch, we got a chance to check out his new office (and take home a few bottles of juice from their handy-dandy fridge de juices). It was a beautiful, bright, and vibrant space. It seems the people at this office value their privacy much less, as they favor long, communal tables, rather than walled-off cubicles. Here are Stegen and Audrey at Adobe:


Oh, Audrey...

Well, aside from our awesome visit to Adobe, our host country was also abuzz with other news: Prince Williams, Kate Middleton, and Prince George shared their beautiful family portrait after Prince George's royal christening.


We plan on attempting our London trip again this weekend. Kirk gave us a detailed email with driving and parking instructions to ensure that we do not get lost again. One step closer to having a mom-date with Kate!

  1. Having a curry is regular fare in London now. Once you get into your village and start frequenting the pub (with the fam of course) they will have a all you can eat curry buffet at least a few times a month. The other big craze there is kabobs I hear. They don't pronounce it that way though. Have you done the fish and chips yet?? Gotta do that along with pasties at the train station and an English breakfast (since you like sausages) where I dug the roasted tomatoes.

    As for open spaces as opposed to cubicles, it seems that is much more common outside of the U.S. In Japan and other Asian countries there are not high walled cubicles and most are in open spaces. Probably keeps them from being on the internet instead of working all day as well.

  2. Curry buffet? I'm totally there. You would think they'd have a huge curry selection in markets around Fremont/Union City. Have you been to Shalimar in Fremont? Amazing. I haven't done the fish and chips yet and have yet to try the full English breakfast. Definitely on my list of things to do. We're headed to London tomorrow (hopefully) and will try to find a good fish and chips joint.
