I went to Brick Lane with a few of my
flatmates and friends. There is an indoor food and craft market. I do have to
say, that they had some of the most amazing food that I have eaten in months! I
will definitely have to go back sometime soon! Later in the afternoon a few of
us went to a nearby art fair.
Mollie, Jen, Jeff,
Tom, Byron, and I all went out for dinner at Benihana’s a hibachi grill for
Mollie’s bday! It was AMAZING the chefs were doing tricks and keeping us
entertained, but most of all the food was amazing, and the Saki Bombs were
fantastic! After dinner we headed back to Mollie’s flat where Jan had planned a
surprise party. A fun night filled with American style partying, beer pong,
flip cup, and much more.
Mountbatten provided us with a fun filled
Halloween party in the basement dungeon of a bar. We all had a few drinks and
nibbles and enjoyed the wide array of Halloween costumes and all of the neat
decorations.
Mollie and I took a day trip to Oxford the
other weekend, Just being in that town made me feel a little bit smarter! First
stop… Coffee! It was completely necessary! We spent a little time a cute little
coffee shop right next to the bus station then ventured off to see the town. We
were wandering the campus of Oxford University when it began to pour out! So,
we decide that we would be touristy and check out some of the little shops in
the area and stay out of the rain. After the rain let up a little, we wandered
a bit more and found ourselves in the little indoor market exploring the cake
and flower shops. The smell of all the fresh food and desserts was making us
hungry so we decided to grab a bite to eat and head home!
All of last week there were fireworks
everywhere all week long! Very historical week here in London, they call the 5th
of November Bonfire night but it was originally Guy Falkes night after he tried
to bomb the Parliament many years ago.
This last weekend, I went with Jayme and
Tatiana to Birmingham, where we wandered the city, went to a few museums and
saw ‘interesting’ buildings/architecture.
BUT nothing top seeing them set up for the Christmas markets and have
all of the little wooden houses set up to be street vendors. The lights were
fantastic. I only wish we would have stayed a bit later to see them in the
dark! I do have to say though, a holiday cup of Starbucks and a whole lot of
x-mas lights made my day phenomenal!
