28. Visitors and travelling (+fucking many pictures)

Hullo, can't believe it's November already!!

Once again, I've been buuuusy (well most of the time, at least XD). I had Kukka visiting me for two whole weeks, so the time I wasn't in school I had better things to do than being on computer :D even once it's this way heha. Most of the days we just sat in my flat doing nothing much (I got her hooked in Supernatural so we watched like two seasons of that), ate a looooooot, and I had rehearsals basically every day last week, so the nights went for those.

This week, however, we're having an 'Enrichment Week' at Uni, which means no lectures yeyy. So I do actually have something to blog about~ On Saturday we made this school trip to Oxford, a simple one-day bus trip for our Understanding Britain course. Then on Monday we went to London, did some shopping and visited AQUARIUM *ww* This was first time for me, like ever ever ever, in a proper aquarium (strange i never visited one in jpn o.o"), so i reaaally was looking forward to it!!

And then the next day, yesterday it is, we went to Camden Town for some more shopping, and at night to the London Dungeons! So something halloweenish~

Tho we went shopping in the central london, it actually became clear the best place to shop was..... tyndyndyyyyyy.... in kingston, right next to the uni :_D it was much less ppl there and no such a rush that we had in london. The shops were all in the same area and we have quite a big selection of different stores there, so from this day on i might prefer buying my stuff there..!! If you visit london it definitely is worth checking.

Then, after having done some morning shopping this morning, we headed back home and started packing for this night's flight. Meaning, I'm BACK IN FINLAND NOW! 

It feels just amazing to be back. It's strange, i've never been one of those who become homesick or prefer home country to living abroad, but this time i'm just really glad to be back for these few days. Or maybe living abroad makes me appreciate things here more, dunno. I'll be back on Sunday already, so now I just make the best of these 3,5 days i'll have here! Most of my hours are already booked, so i'll get to meet many friends and do a lot of things :3 more about that later.

Now, for it's late already, i'll just post here some random photos from last weeks with some words written under them. Hope you guys like, here we gooo!

The dungeons. The place was SO COOL! not that scary, nothing like the scaring-the-crap-out-of-you-hospital-thing in fujikyu, but it was just a great deal of fun! The actors, the music and the props, everything was great! Highly recommend.
