Day 3!

Day 3:

Friday, today we had another orientation on safety talks with Sergeant Paul. He was actually really funny and comical. Apparently pepper spray is illegal here and is considered a firearm, so good thing I didn’t bring mine! He told us some crazy stories but to be safe and behave as a bottom line. After that a big group of us walked down Kensington Street to the National History Museum. Not only was it so beautiful (Looked like a huge church kinda) on the outside, but it was also really well designed on the inside. It was so huge that we only got through the one half side of the museum. All of the exhibits were really innovative and interactive, some a little strange, but most were pretty interesting. Allison and I also had our “awkward situation of the day” which was when a couple of British guys asked us what we were studying while abroad and I made the mistake of saying that I was studying European Government and Politics; this was followed by a 10 min rant from the man about how horrible their government system is. Lol After the museum we walked over to the Regency Hotel, still in Kensington, to attend our CAPA afternoon tea party/reception. It was really cute, we were served tea and scones as well as other delicious treats!  Later on at night we went out for the first time to a local pub called O’Neill’s (sp). It was SO fun! It was an Irish pub that had live cover bands playing and a bunch of other stuff going on. We met  a fun group of British guys who ended up buying us a couple rounds of drinks (which was nice cause drinks are expensive! Lol) We stopped at subway on the way back where we met 2 other British guys who were imitating the people on the Jersey Shore. Lol All in all, it was a successful day/night.
