Well, here is today's England update. It has been a busy last few days, and I've tried to get accustomed to my immediate surroundings. I don't want to harp on the food, but I actually am eating fairly well. I think I just am amazed by this because of my experiences in Germany. *sigh*
Anyway, a bunch of us went to the main train station in Harlow to get youth rail passes. It was a profitable trip, and on the way home we checked out a petting zoo at a park. I, in my head, called it "the ducks" but they had llamas and whatnot. This particular one posed for me. I think she/he is trying to make out for llama's reps for being ugly. Anyway, the best part of the zoo was the little kids, who obviously all talked with accents. They're really cute. I might steal one. Stay tuned for updates on that front.



Also, this sign was at the train station. When they're renting houses here the signs say "To Let" and someone graffiti-ed this one. Hilarious...viva la resistance.



Then, later, it was a joint birthday for Jeremy and Melissa, two MUN students. We partied in the common room after the bar closed (at 11, as per usual....blah) Anyway, here's a picture of a Sociable, while we were playing Kings. Of course everyone had different rules, but we got along in a truly Canadian way.



And, here is the obligatory picture of me and my roommate, this time doing our impression of a wino. I think we did rather well. But anyway, I didn't see much of England this weekend after London, so I will leave it at that for now. On Wednesday we're visiting some countryside.

Ta ta for now.
