Lol just kidding. But remember how Melanie and I saw the "Eiffel Tower" in Ireland? We found this beauty here in England. And we also saw a place that slightly resembled the Colosseum. So there's that.
We went to such an interesting place yesterday! It's called LSTM: the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. They gave us a talk on various tropical diseases and showed us their labs. Fun fact: they have the largest collection of venomous snakes worldwide. We couldn't get in to see them, but I'm not too upset about it. I like living.
They also gave us highlighters in the shape of injection needles (big syringe-like things). How do they expect me to focus on the lecture when I have this new toy!? I got through it, though. Hold your applause.
After that we headed to lunch at a museum. The museum was free! I love love love free. During lunch, I found my soulmate. She's been here all along. MELANIE. I was going to steal some fries (they say chips in England), and there were 3. I told her, "Don't worry, I'll only take two- I eat in even numbers." She turned her head as fast as I do when my Mom says dinner's ready. She eats in even numbers too. And she puts the TV/radio volume on an even number (just as I do). And she sets her alarm to weird times like 7:46 or 8:22. SAME. So there you have it. Wedding is being planned. Sorry to her boyfriend.
She also said a hilarious thing yesterday after we realized there was not good recycling here in Europe. She's congreenient. She goes green when it's convenient. What a lady.
Besides lunch, we actually went around the museum. It was the most random museum I have ever been to. Exhibits ranged from dinosaurs to Mayan culture to a small aquarium. Very questionable, but interesting at the same time. Later, we went shopping and saw this on the way:
I had to take a picture. Had to. But sad times when you realize that these are far in-between. This is the only one I've seen. And it smelled bad and had broken glass in it. My life is ruined to say the least.
Ahhh, and it rains here in sporadic intervals. Yesterday, I kid you not, it rained for 30 seconds. Like down pour. We all got out our umbrellas and rain jackets just to put them back away. Weird weather I tell you.
Shopping was fun though! We went to thrift shops and saw some interesting clothes that were very much vintage. There were a ton of American college shirts. We joked that it would be unreal if they had Northeastern University. Then they did...
Ended off my shopping spree with some chicken fries from Burger King. Life is good my friends.
Later we went out on the town, and we ended out at McDonald's. I seriously hate myself for all I've eaten on this trip. But then again, I'm on vacation. And I can always hit the gym when I get home. Or hit all my favorite Illinois chain restaurants. We'll see.
Anywho, one of the workers at McDonald's had a tattoo that legit said MOM. It was one of those special moments, when I saw it and then made eye contact with him. He knew I appreciated it.
Here's a funny term I heard: Sauvignon blanc out. Like black out. Lols.
I need sleep.
