For those of you who don't know what this is, it's an iPhone application that is kind of like XBox Live achievements meets real life. You can register visits of certain places and earn extra points for visiting sets of places, or become mayor of a place by visiting it more than anyone else. Helen has become a foursquare addict.
The real reason she wanted to visit Louis Vuitton was not to see inside the store, but to register her foursquare visit. So we went there, only to find that foursquare wouldn't work.
Tom, one of the students from school who Helen knows, was also in London and texted to say he was at the Apple Store. So we went there to see him and also to earn another foursquare visit.
Again, neither him or Helen could connect to foursquare. Also the Apple store has free wireless and Helen stood outside trying to Facetime Tom. With no response, we walked around and found him. They stood next to each other and eventually got Facetime working, then proceeded to talk to each other's screens even though they were only a foot apart. Talk about sad!!!!
It turns out foursquare was down for maintenance at the time. Thanks for nothing foursquare. That's 2 hours of my life, and 4 bus fairs, that I will never get back.
