Ang's Visit


Although I don't have any pictures from it yet, here is a small update from Ang's visit.

Wednesday: Ang ARRIVES! at approximately 4pm. We hustle to the bus station and get to my room. Sit for a bit, go to dinner for my friend Nick's birthday, then go to the club. Ang experiences Swansea club life, which is definitely something to be experienced. We get home around 1 and pass out.

Thursday: I had one class but otherwise we ate Pain au chocolates on the beach and found a random castle in Mumbles (the town next to Swansea) called Oystermouth. It was such a hike that we decided to take the bus back, and we went to get sushi at this place next in the uplands. It was great and I was proud of Ang for loving the food.

Friday: Wake up, go to class, bring Pain au chocolates for Ang, and we are off to Cardiff. We bring the heavy ass luggage with us everywhere and as our arms are about to fall off from walking so far, we realize that the museum we wanted to go to closes at 5. We got there at 4:45 and they wouldn't let us walk through :(

We had a nice dinner at the Gourmet B (BK), and took the train to Oxford, getting in at about 10. We were going to go out but instead just went to sleep.

Saturday: Adventurous Oxford. We see random schools, places, watched a crew race, almost got run over numerous times by both bikes and cars, and hit up the National History Museum and the Museum of History and Science. We also ventured into tons of really nice looking Cathedrals and Churches. Had another burger dinner, ate at 3 different bakeries, and then headed back to Hiroki's to pack. He had a soccer game and was beat/swamped with work for the night so we just went to sleep.

Sunday: Wake up or really wake up from nap, since we didn't sleep much, breakfast, then off to Heathrow. Sigh. Double Sigh.

And off she went! Back to Levittown and away from me! I miss her already!!


P.S. Ang found this old picture of trying to fit me in an ikea bag and I posted it.
