First night out in London!
















We took the tube (underground train) for the first time to CAPA (the building where our classes are) and had orientation during the day which was long and boring (2:00-6:30). When we got back we hung out in the flat and watched tv with all the flatmates and ate dinner. At around 10:30 we decided to go out and took the tube to Picadilly Circus which is like Time Square and Broadway. Tara, Jordan, Danielle and two of our roommates from UPitt, Ellen and Scarlett went out. It was really nice and we walked around and eventually found a Bar in SoHo (which is kind of like P-town) and we went there. We ordered 2 pitchers of Boston Beach Party (which was kind of like a fruitier long island iced tea) which ended up being about a drink and a half a person but was cheaper than buying 1 drink. Then we went upstairs to the "Club room" which we thought would be dancing but it was really just a room of people cuddling. Downstairs was the "dancing room" and they had kareoke which was SO much fun. We all sang and danced and met some British people who were really nice, and they were actually telling us that they loved our accents which was really funny to hear. Then we walked back which was about a 30 minute walk. Then, today we had a tea party at the Regency Hotel which was really nice with tea and finger sandwhiches. So far I'm having a lot of fun but I miss everyone at home!
