9. You're At The Opening Of Every Trendy Pop-Up Shop
Pop-up shops, or flash retailing, is the trend of opening short-term sales spaces. These shops have been accused of papering over society's economy, due to being a temporary solution to financial problems. However, benefits include the creative inspiration these stores offer, and they're also great for selling seasonal produce which won't be purchased all year round. Like tinsel. Typically in east London you'll find a range of pop-ups shops very much intended for that area; although pop-up shops are everywhere, the hipster culture of the UK targets that area of the city over others. You've been to the Marmite pop-up shop and the Bracuta pop-up shop in London. Next on your pop-up shop bucket list is the Beatles double decker pop-up shop in New York.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
