Wednesday - election results, Whitechapel and food

We have been getting up and checking the Aus election count each morning.  As of today, it seems that Malcolm is inching towards something but not quite sure what. Wonder if there will be an answer by the time we get home next week.  The UK isn't having much luck picking its next leader either.  The Poles living in the UK are wondering if they should go back to Poland, one reason being the dropping pound.  For us, the exchange rate has been good news.

Anyhow, today we went on a walking tour of Whitechapel - billed as the Jewish tour, but it was about more than that.  We revisited the Synagogue where I had been with Beo Lan last year on our "7 churches and a synagogue" tour.
KM in the synagogue.

Many narrow streets in Whitechapel 

And housing for Hugenots then became council housing.

Then we had lunch at Brick Lane - famous for its Indian food.  I have never had much luck at Brick Lane, except the time Sue and Steve took us, as they knew where to go.  There are just so many restaurants, a bit hit and miss, and this time we missed.  But we still ate it and we weren't hungry at the end of it.  No pic - wasn't worth it.

But later on we did see this

and got excited, thinking it was Singapore food.  But inside was the usual English (and delicious) cakes and slices, no noodles.  Perhaps it was a Singaporean behind the coffee machine.
