Day 4
I’m supposed to be reading 40 pages of the definition of popular culture but I feel like writing this instead. Today was the first day of class. Well, I wouldn’t really consider it class because it’s 2 hours a day, 3 days a week. Our teacher is really nice and cute; she has the softest voice so we have to listen really carefully to understand her.
I pretty much feel at home already, it’s not too different from my life at Rochester except for the way people dress and talk LOL. I made my first sandwich in England for lunch today; it was with breaded ham and cucumber. The only problem was that I didn’t have a knife so I had to bite the cucumber while eating the sandwich…hahaha
At night, we went on a tour of Brighton. All the shops there were so small and cute. I definitely have to go back and try a lot of places; nothing was that expensive so it’s going to be amazing. For dinner, I had Indian food, but the way that restaurant made it was a bit different from how I had it back in the states.
Booked my ticket to Spain at the end of the month :) Six days, five nights, flight + hotel only about 220 euro, sooo excited!
Day 5
Azda is amazing.
It’s like a Wal-Mart but they call it Azda. I bought so much interesting and cool looking food there, but it was so tiring. Also I had an “M” burger at McDonalds which was kind of like a big mac but the bread was different.
If you want to cook paella but lack the skills, here's pack of everything already premade!
At night, we went to a pub for their karaoke night. The place was two stories with a really chill atmosphere. We obviously filled up the whole place because there’s so many of us. You probably already know, but karaoke is one of my favorite things in the world. I’ve never done it at a pub before but always have wanted to. Susana and I sung Take a Bow by Rihanna and it was lots of fun. Of course, I still like KTV better, but this was just a good time to hang out with everyone and watch them make a fool of themselves :p
Why have I never seen these in America? Apparently they're a lot of calories zzz...
Day 6
Today was a food day from lunch to dinner. I went to the local food event they have at the town square every week. There was a cooking demonstration every hour with starters, entrees, and dessert. We get to eat the food they cook afterwards. We stayed through 2 hours of that and the food they made was amazing. Also, I had dragon’s blood. It’s made from one of the hottest peppers in the world. I dipped a toothpick in it and tasted it. It was not as spicy as people said but with just a small drop it burned my mouth for a few seconds. Also, there is a chili eating competition that I really want to try next week, but I’m not sure if my stomach can handle it. If not, it won’t be worth it at the end of the day.
At night, we went on a “food tour” of Brighton, I guess you can just say we all split appetizers at each of the restaurants. We started with a Korean restaurant where I had pa jun. Then, a Lebonese restaurants and got a platter of everything. Their hummus and a sauce that looked like hummus but made with eggplant (forgot the name) was amazing. We then finished off with tiramisu and ice cream. All in all, this was one of my favorite days. I love eating and have never went around to three different restaurants for dinner. I wish places were close enough to do this in the states, because it was lots of fun. We ate from 7pm to 11pm and I only spent about 10 pounds!
Awesome Korean pancake!
Yummy Lebanese platter!
Massive tiramisu!
