ok ok ok SO IM DOING IT IM REALLY FINISHING THIS BLOG....after Switzerland i arrived back in london for m
y last week of classes. The last week was pretty uneventful except for one thing, the Great Britain Beer Festival. My buddy james and I headed to this monster of an event and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences London. there was literally thousands upon thousands of beers from not only all over the UK but all over the world. It cost 10 pounds to get in and you paid 3 pounds for your pint glass. from there you were free to go to any of the various brewers and get either a 1/4 pint, a 1/2 pint or a full pint of beer. the beers were incredible. not only that but they had other various stands that appealed to drunk patrons as well. there was about 5 or 6 hat stands, solely for the purpose of selling "funny hats" for people to w
ear. i myself picked up a giant balloon hat that was about 4 feet tall. They had henna tattoo stations, pub gear stations, and t shirt stations. they also had pub games and pub food, i was in heaven. we stayed for like 4 hours and hopped on the tube back to kings cross to go out for the evening, i decided to bring my balloon hat along which got mixed responses, some loved it, others thought it was obnoxious. by the way sorry this is written so shitty, i am trying to get this portion done with so i can get to the other cities that i want to write about. My overall experience with London was mixed. I enjoyed being in a big city but at the same time felt very overwhelmed by the sheer size of London. With the exchange rate being what it is this place is just so expensive that it is depressing, the cheapest beer you'll find in town is a 3 pound pint which still is the equivalent to a 6 dollar beer in the states. I dont think i'll be returned to London but it was a great experience none the less. ok ok ok....onward and upward, im going to meet my family in prague and i am elated as i have not seen any of them in nearly 3 months...
