An American Thanksgiving in London & Winter Wonderland

Luckily there was good food and no werewolves.

For the most holiest of holy food days, a bunch of us from UCL went over to Goldsmith's College to eat a lovely meal. Although no turkey, the day was still a blast, especially because of the corn. The day was not the same without the family and the fact that I had class earlier in the day was quite odd.

Another large ferris wheel in London, man try a new idea....

That weekend, a bunch of us went to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. It was reminscint of Oktoberfest (German Beer & Sausage, roller coasters and cheap souvenirs, less drunk people though), but it had its own twist; in the fact there was a ice rink! We went skating (11 pounds! for the hour) in the great weather of London (on-n-off showers/drizzle).

Here is the rink (with blue lights, obviously).

The group who went from left to right: Rachel, Me, Laura (Rachel's friend from home who is studying in Paris), Sami, and Dale.

Its harder than it looks to take a picture when you are skating.

Sami and I were the expert skaters of the group (we both play hockey). Here is us showing off our "skills."

The Haunted House of Christmas.

So this will be my last post until I do something really exciting. Unfortunately, I am not really traveling after classes are done (December 12), except for a few day trips and two days in Paris. So expect a post within the coming weeks.
