I met up with a few girls from SWAP and we headed to Maple Leaf pub for some Canadian nostalgia. When we first arrived it's was quite busy, there was a big football match between Man U and Barcelona, so every pub was packed. We headed to a restaurant for a glass of wine while we waited for the game to end and then headed back to Maple Leaf. Here I had my first beer in the UK and it was a Moosehead! There were a lot of drunk English men there so we didn't stay very long and we then headed to the Roundhouse pub. Here we mingled with some locals as they drowned there sorrows of the loss of Man U. Britain's really do love Canadians, they tried to explain the rules of Cricket and I tried to teach them about baseball.
Eventually the group whittled down to just 2 of us and Ashlee and I tried to find a cab but it was impossible. I convinced a rickshaw drive to take me home, and it was fantastic. We drove right along the Thames, right by Parliament. I'm really loving the neighbourhood I'm living in. All in all a really great night!
