Uni Day

Last night I went out again. House party. Played circle of death, however, they call it ring of fire. Same rules but they explained everything different and had different names for the rules. Drank Carlsberg beer. Walked back and counted eight rabbits, they come out at night all the time.

Today, was amazing. Slept in, well I tried. It's been hard for me to sleep in here, no idea why. Anyway, me and Micheala figured out how to ride the double decker bus. Bought a ticket for the entire day (called Uni Day) to get into City Center and back, 2.80 pounds. City Center is a huge square filled with stores, pharmacies, pubs, restaurants, the cathedral, and much more. I think we spent over five hours downtown. I bought: clothes from Primark (super cheap here, even after converting it to dollars), postcards, a flag, a map of Great Britain, prayer flags, a cactus, and more hangers. People singing in the streets. Got a Vodafone cellular plan as well, only ten pounds a month. Saw the outside and inside of the Canterbury Cathedral. Split fish and chips (our first), we were actually a little disappointed. I thought it was going to be better, maybe its just the place we ate at (had skin on it still, is that normal?). Then we went to Raj's 59 hookah store, and I got a free lighter because the owner Raj (owner of four stores in Canterbury, as he bragged) started hitting on me and said he was fascinated by me, also was able to get the special discount. The lighter has love written over it, I was absolutely creeped out. During our exploring, we also split a footlong cumberland hotdog at a stand and tried different sauces. I had Brazilian barbecue, spicy heinz ketchup, and regular ketchup. Took the double decker back to shower and go back in a cab. I like cabs and then I don't, a love/hate situation. Note to self: take the cab in the front of the taxi queue (line). Went to a pub called, Wetherspoons, for a strawberry daiquiri and was told I had a cute American accent. Whatever. Following Whetherspoons, we came back to campus to the same house party as yesterday. Played ring of fire/circle of death again. Slowly meeting more people because everyone is returning for classes starting this Monday.

So, I may be heading to London to celebrate my birthday in two weeks, and then heading to Germany for a weekend stay with one of Micheala's friends. Also, Yik Yak here is extremely weak compared to Milwaukee, if you wanted to know.
