Ok, lemme spin it for ya real quick.
So yes here i am. Not dead or doomed to being a kidnapping victim. I have returned. Or really i never left. Im just a damned lazy prick. I blame all the delicious holiday food and easy holiday living. Even though its almost feburary but i have that ability.
Yes, so the holiday season was pretty damn diggty fun für mich. I stayed with my friend Tom and his family for Xmas and New Years. It was a pretty fun time. Got to get to know England a little bit, met some new people and made some new connections, got to eat delicious delicious food, am now of the opinion that english TV is probably the best, got to visit London and Norwich, and got to see clinically insane people running into the ocean on Boxing. Pretty interesting.
Tom lives in the county of Norfolk in Northeastern England. Honestly i hadnt thought that England could get very rural, but goddamn it is farm country out there. Norfolk has the reputation of being sort of a backwards county. You know, counsins marrying counsins, farmers having relations with their animals. Pretty much the same sterotypes as the southern US. But its a pretty neat place. Very flat, lots of farms and little villages. And its right on the coast. So the beach is walking distance from Tom's house. Supposed to be really nice in the summer.
And in the county of Norfolk the big city is Norwich. That is really a nice city. Maybe a little bit bigger than Würzburg, with a few more nooks and crannies. Pretty alternative with plenty to gawk at and do. We were there a couple of times during out stay. Mad super fun good times. We were able to catch a local show in Norwich with a few sick as local bands. It was pretty awesome to be able to get a beer at a local show. Usually that is forbidden, at least in the states.
During the course of my stay with Tom, we checked out a few films at the cinema. Go see Avatar, its like the best thing since Star Trek. I watched tons and tons of Top Gear. If you don't know what Tom Gear is then you need to check it out. Its and English car show. It sounds a little boring but the hosts are bloody hilarious so that pretty much makes it.
One of the big events of the two weeks was London. We went to London on the 29th. It was a pretty wicked good time. Surprisingly we were able to complete pretty much all of the Tourist stuff in that visit. You know, Big Been, Lester Square, the palace. I have tons of pictures from there which i will post soon. Running short of time right now because of course its Sunday, and Sunday means Kult is calling. So i whence i return i will post those pictures and maybe the vids?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GERMANY!
