Now that I've written on probably the most shocking event of the night I will continue to share some of the crazy things that happened last night. They are all kind of random...
- We went on the Camden Pub Crawl which happens every night except Sundays. After paying 12 pounds we got a wrist band to get us into the pubs on the pub crawl and we received a free shot at each pub.
- The free shot was so nasty because it was always black licorice flavored (YUCK) -- probably the pubs way to get rid of the liquor no body wants.
- The second "pub" we went to was actually a club. There was a guy rapping on the stage and turns out he is Ed Sheeran's cousin! He was awful. His songs sounded like a string of random words put together.
- His stage name was Lone Star....(I don't even know what to say about this)
- One of my favorite songs Ed Sheeran's cousin sang was titled "This is my song." Most creative song title EVER.
- It was weird to have my birthday here in Europe. Most people didn't understand what a big deal it was until I would say "I'm legal in America!" and then people understood.
- At the next pub I chatted it up with two guys from Australia and when I told them it was my birthday (and that I was legal) they sang to me! It was SO awesome.
- A girl who found out that it was my 21st tried to get me to chew and I adamantly refused but then we bonded over pictures of our dogs!
- At McDonalds, while I was standing in line I complimented some guy wearing a patagonia sweatshirt. Turns out, he's from Edina! AND he's been to Antarctica (Ryan thought of you!) It was a crazy small world moment. Who would've thought I would run into someone from Edina in London?!?!
Overall it was a wonderful 21st birthday and I had such a good time! I'm sure I will always remember it :)
On a more serious note, yesterday I went to Proper British Tea. My Grandma and I had always talked about going to high tea but couldn't find places to go in Minneapolis. It felt really special to go on my birthday to something that my Grandma had always wanted to take me to. I wish she could have been there -- she would have loved it!
Tea selection
We got chai tea and the whole package of afternoon tea which included finger sandwiches, scones, and little cakes.

On a completely unrelated note and nothing to do with my birthday I wanted to share two facts that I keep forgetting to write about.
1. I actually live in the ghetto of London. It's a really shady area and I don't feel safe venturing outside of campus.
2. These shoes are really popular here....I think they are the most ugly things in the world.
