This weekend I visited a friend of mine studying business English in London and while I was there I did some (though pretty minor) shopping as well as quite a bit of sightseeing and bar/pub-hopping. I arrived early on Thursday, 8 am or so I believe, and got to my hotel around 11 after taking the train from Stansted to Liverpool Street Station and a taxi from there (wasn’t too keen on going on the Underground with a suitcase in hand). The hotel was nice enough, I stayed at Ibis Euston and honestly I was mainly just concerned with having my own bathroom, the fact that I had a TV too was pretty nice though.
I met up with a few friends later that night after looking around the neighbourhood my hotel was located in and we first went to a bar with live blues music. Aside from my friend and her roommate I also met another friend of mine and her boyfriend. We had a few drinks (it was 2 for 1 for cocktails 
) and chatted for awhile until we began getting sleepy from the music around 11-ish and decided to go somewhere with a bit more energy to it. We ended up going to Tiger Tiger where I had a cider and ended up dancing. Didn’t expect the latter to happen, but had a ton of fun and it was sometime past 3 am that I finally found myself outside my hotel asking for the reception to let me in.
Friday was a bit more quiet as my friend and her roommate had school the next day starting at 9 am, but we did go to Sticky Fingers and had a celebratory dinner in honor of my friend who turned 21 on Saturday. Ate a very awesome hamburger and decided to forgo drinks and wine in favor of having a coke instead. Spent the hours before the dinner browsing bookstores and wandering around London, pretty much tiring myself out so when I got back around half past midnight I went straight to bed.
I was supposed to do a bit of clothes shopping on Saturday but I was feeling pretty sleepy and my books were too alluring so I ended up taking a quick trip to Sainsbury’s to get some food and dinner and holing up in my hotel room until it was time to meet my friend and her roommate at 8 pm. By then my other friend and her boyfriend had left for Brigthon so the three of us went to Tiger Tiger were we ate dinner (the chicken burger with bacon is delicious!) and in my case had some wine (coke for one and beer and wine for the other) before heading out on the dancefloor. Wore heels this time and boy did I feel it the day after. Also danced a LOT more than the previous night and discovered that my ass = apparently some bizarre petting-zoo animal.
