London Nightlife- a bit stressful

We managed to make it out last night after taking a little nap. We both woke up with blood shot eyes but somehow we showered and got into our dresses. Then we headed to The Big Chill in Liverpool. I had picked up a London guide when we first arrived in England from the U.S. The guide had a nightlife section and so we chose our place to go from there.

We first decided to go somewhere chill, so of course we chose The Big Chill. Afterward we planned on going to a superclub where they play European techno music. It took us quite some time to find the bar. Finally, after asking some people we found it! The streets were packed with people and VERY dirty. Both of us have glass imbeded in our black flip flops- guess I have to throw them out. Anway, on the way to the bar we saw these guys on the corners snorting cocaine! We were both in complete shock! The area was crowded and didn't seem like the place where people would do hard drugs. I guess we were just a little naive.

At The Big Chill, we both ordered a yummy and very expensive drink. It was our only drink of the night, so I didn't feel too bad. The bar/club was packed and they were playing hilarious music. The Londoners have a very goofy way of dancing. They can't of just move their upper body back and forth and stomp their feet in place. It is difficult to describe but Hannah and I had a fabulous time watching them!

When The Big Chill closed at 1 AM, we just decided to head back to our hostel. We didn't end up going to a superclub because we thought it would be way too crazy and dangerous. We made it safely back and it was a fun/interesting experience.

Our travel back to our hostel was an experience in itself. We had to take the bus back because the metro was closed. It started getting cold and it seemed like the buses took forever to pick us up. Since our hostel is a little ways out, we had to take two seperate buses to get back. On our last bus, this girl who was dressed in a VERY revealing outfit got on the bus with her boyfriend. She was definitely drawing negative attention to herself! Then an old woman made a comment to her that she smelled like scrumpy fries or something. They started gettting into a fight! It was a very entertaining way to end and interesting night. We arrived back at Palmer's Lodge at 3:30 in the morning, even though we probably only spent like 45 minutes in an actual bar!

I have decided that Hannah and I are just not cut-out for London partying! Super Club in Auburn is more our scene!

Parents you don't have to worry, Hannah and I don't plan on going out anymore! (or at least while we're still in Europe!)

The weather today is sunny and the sky is clear. It looks like we lucked out again with the London weather. It was originally supposed to rain today too!
