So, I haven't been very good lately about updating my blog. We've been having too much fun! Here's a quick recap of the last 2 weeks!
We went to Stratford Upon Avon, which is Shakespeare's hometown. We walked through his house and tried to go to his grave, but the church closed on us. We also went to Anne Hathaway's cottage. She was Shakespeare's lover. After that, we went to a Shakespeare play put on by the Royal Shakespeare Company. We saw "King Henry VI," which wasn't exactly exciting, but it was a good experience. They used the ceilings to suspend people and bring props down/up. The acting was superb...and...I only dozed off like 2 or 3 times! That's pretty good for a 3 hour play!
Later in the week we went to The Lion King, the musical. I saw it at the Fox in St. Louis, but it was much better here! We had a blast! The costumes were great! My words will never do it justice! I almost got tears in my eyes at certain points. I absolutely loved it!
We also had a Toga Party. Since everything is so expensive over here, we just used our fitted bedsheets! Some girls used blankets! We looked hilarious! All the different colors and patterns made for an interesting evening!
This past Sunday, we visited Trafalgar Square for the Chinese New Year! We saw intricate outfits, neat performances, and of course, FOOD!!! I had some chicken noodle combo...yum!
Last night we went to a bar that was 0 degrees celcius!!! Everything was made out of ice: the floor, the tables, walls, bar, even our glasses were ice! It was incredible! They used blue lighting, which made it seem like we were in an ice cube! They gave us cloaks to wear and gloves so we could hold our ice glasses! You were only allowed to stay for 40 minutes at a time, which was plenty! We had a blast!
