I don't have much to share for this post because orientation has just started and I was sitting in a classroom for 8 hours today, but we have had some fun night time adventures. Two nights ago we went to this bar called Oneil's. On the outside it looks like any other bar, but on the inside there are three separate floors, with individual bars, and live music on the top floor. What amazed me the most was not the extremely expensive/ delicious alcohol, or the cover band playing all American songs, but it was the people at the bar. I don't think I actually met a single British person, or even a person that lived in the UK there. However, I did meet people from Spain, Italy, Australia, and all over the world. We obviously had discovered the most touristy bar in London (which is not helping our image). Although our main goal was to socialize with people our age who are actually from England, it was fascinating talking to people from everywhere. It was pretty hilarious observing silly German boys trying to pick some of my friends up and myself, claiming they had been to CT. When I asked them to name an actual place in CT they realized we were to smart for them (see Dad I can take care of myself)! Getting home was a challenge but I'm finally grasping some sort of direction (kind of). As you have already been notified, I love this city and everything about it and I can't wait to explore more! I will post some more soon, and don't forget to look for me on Skype!
