Where do I start? I guess I can start off with probably the biggest venture so far. About a week and a half ago, I visited Bath, Salisbury, and Stonehenge! A few friends and I went on a tour and I have to say, I wouldn't recommend it. The trip itself was cool, the tour guide however was a different story. I felt like I was in school again! If he was talking through his microphone on the bus and god forbid somebody else was talking, he would wait for us to shut up! Nobody says we have to listen to you bud! Among many other things he did, all mainly rude, he glared at this little 3-4 year old boy who walked across the shot when he was taking my picture!! The guy was just brutal. Anyway, we first went to Bath, which was nice but other than the Roman Baths (which I didn't see), it didn't seem like there was much to see. Then we ventured over to Salisbury Cathedral which was pretty cool. I could have sworn the hallways there were filmed in Harry Potter but I guess you can say that about any architecture here. After that, we visited Stonehenge, which was the highlight of the day. Some people say "they're just rocks" but I found them really cool to look at, knowing that they've been there for possibly 5000 years. I got lots of pictures of that (I'm sorry, still don't have the camera cord to upload photo's).
Luckily, one of my friend's can upload pictures!
As some of you may know from Facebook, I have my first trip planned. Well I guess that's a lie since I already had Oktoberfest planned. Anyway, my friend Nicole (girl beside me in picture) and I will be heading to Belgium at the end of August for 3 nights. We're mainly going to be in Bruges but we will be checking out Brussels for a day as well. If anyone has been before and has recommendations, let me know! I've heard I need to brush up on my French.
Like I said before, time is whizzing by here. I'm quite busy at work every day so the days go by super quick and before I know it, it's the weekend. I am enjoying the job, except being on the phone can sometimes be difficult.
A.) Because the customer's are difficult themselves and
B.) I cannot understand them with their accents! Especially the Irish...they might be Welsh sometimes too...can't really tell...
Some fun things I've done in the past couple of weeks:
-Went to this Fawlty Towers Dining experience, which was hilarious and awesome despite never watching the TV show
-BritBound had a James Bond themed party, however I chose not to dress up because it was simply too hot out to wear a suit
-Went and saw Phantom of the Opera for the first time ever. Not sure I fully understood the whole time what was going on but was enjoyable nonetheless
-Went to the London Film Comic Con in which I waited in line for 5 and half hours!!!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a life long dream to be there but I had nothing better to do that day and I didn't think it was going to be that long of a wait to get in! After waiting that long, I only actually spent an hour and a half in the convention where I bought some Game of Thrones paraphernalia. This is also an event where lots of people dress up so there was loads of people in Star Wars costumes, Game of Thrones costumes, 300, Hunger Games, you name it...all the nerdy stuff.
Apologies for the novel. Cheers! (Now starting to say that a lot)
