Clubbing and Eating

We've gone out every night so far. Oceana the first night was by far the nicest and classiest. The next night was Jesters--voted the "3rd dodgiest club in the UK." It still wasn't as skanky as an American frat party though. In the pub attached to Jesters, called Clowns, we watched somebody throw a full glass at another guy's head; it shattered and he came up bleeding. We snuck into Jesters through the back door after that.

Next night we went to The Cube, a nightclub operated by the University. The party was called "Kinkii," and the DJs were real sketch. At one point they called out people to "do it doggy style for the camera."

Last night was at a place called SoBar. American hip-hop is better. Although they spent waayyy too long playing shitty 90s rock. And the last song the club played was Bad Touch...

Tonight the Pro Bowl is on SkySports-2 at midnight, but I don't know where to find it. At least the Superbowl will be on BBC (at 11pm here) next week.

Food's good here, but it's expensive. The "drunk food" is either a Greek Kebab or fish/chips. Chips (fries) are cheap (about a pound for a huge basket), but everything else will kill you. The Kebab's are really good though--kind of like Pita Pit but bigger. One morning I got a panini and coffee at a cafe. The coffee is really bad--it wasn't bitter or burned, it just tasted like dirty dishwater and smelled like old meat.

Classes start tomorrow, but I don't have anything until 4pm. I'll have to walk up to the Highfield campus to activate my buspass, and then get down to the NOC for my first class. I think a number of the other Americans, and a few people in my residence hall, are in that class.
