Today my friend Danielle came to town. She got in during the afternoon while I was at work, so at 5 o'clock I rushed home and met her at my apartment. I got changed, grabbed a bite to eat, and then the two of us went back to the area of Canary Wharf, where I work, in order to meet some of my friends from work for a drink. I figured that it could be fun for Danielle to meet some British people and actually experience something different from the typical abroad experience.
We went to this pub overlooking an inlet on the River Thames called Via Forassa. We alled grabbed some pints and sat outdoors at a table. It ended up being really fun to see people from work let loose and enjoy themselves after work. By the time we were leaving, it was 9:30PM. Since Justin's birthday was at midnight, we headed to his apartment and then to a club called China White to help him celebrate.
China White ended up being a really posh club near Oxford Street, but it was full of Brits. We had a table and some bottle service, which ended up being really fun. Also, a ton of my friends from home were there to help celebrate. A few drinks later, I can definitely say Justin had a 21st birthday worth remembering. By the time I got home and to bed, it was 2:30PM.
March 29th
Today, work was rough. I was exhausted. To make up for it, I pounded coffee all day. Luckily, Danielle spent the day with Natalie while I was gone al day. By the time I got home, the two of us were exhausted and napped. We relaxed and Chris, Danielle and I hung out for the rest of the night.
