MY FIRST SNOWMAN

Ok so I was sitting in my lounge and was kinda bored. What could I do that can keep me busy for a while and entertained?

BUILD MY FIRST SNOWMAN.

So I grab my gloves and went outside and started building the traditional way. If you don't know what that is, its when you make a snowball and you just roll until you get the ball size you want. I tried this and it was not working out for me. SO I came up with my own technique. It might have been the hardest way and possibly the longest way but it served its purpose. The event was meant to keep me busy and do something fun at the same time.

Step 1-

My technique started with me creating a ball as you normally would do and putting it in the center of the place of your snowman. Once you have your ball in place you just keep pilling more and more snow on it from around the area while pressing it and patting it to make it firm. Once you get the size/height you want, what i did was made like a flat platform. The third pic below displays what I mean if you can see it.

Step 2-

Repeat step one really just on top of your bottom. The most important thing to remember is that the center has to be solid or it will all fall apart. Than just do the same for the head just smaller.

So this is just the way I did it. I am sure if you youtube or google search, you can find a quicker technique. I had no prior knowledge and just went with it while I was out there as I was doing it and thats what my result was. My snowman came out very solid. You can literally push it at the top and it would start to tip over.

I am very pleased with it for my first snowman.

CHRISTMAS DINNER WITH MARK

Dec -18
I have a friend here in Cardiff that attends the University named Mark. I called him up for a favor before he left. I wanted him to take a gift back to Bermuda for me for someone. I used my iPhone to try get his location but the damn thing didn't work. I was like 200 yards away from where I was supposed to be. So I called him for directions, in which saved me life because my hands where painfully cold. My initial plan was to stay for like a half hour or so to not seem like I am using him.

His flat is a lot more modern than mine. I gave him the gift and set off and watched some television. Met one of his room mates and one of his mates that don't stay there. Guys hung out and just talked and watched movies. He asked me what I was doing and I really didn't have no plans so I said I will stay there for a while. He than offered me some dinner.  I accepted his offer of course. I figured it would be my only Christmas dinner that I might have. I went to the kitchen to offer to help but he said he got it under control. So i went just chill in the living room till dinner was done.

Dinner was finally done and I must say I was really impressed. He cooked baked potato squares, turkey, stuffing and some gravy. I had everything and it was all delicious. Mark introduced me to putting cranberry sauce on my turkey. With me being me, I tried it. It was not bad at all. The cranberry sauce adds a sweet taste to it. I stayed over till about 1am chilling with Mark before he left.

I was really enjoyed just hanging out with Mark and having dinner. We have never really just hung out before.

THANKS MARK FOR MAKING ME FEEL THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT A LITTLE MORE AND INSPIRING ME TO COOK MY OWN CHRISTMAS DINNER!!!!!

SURPRISE CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Last week I was sitting in my room writing a blog
and Ang comes in with a box.
It was from my BFF.
They sent me some items like two days before I got
these items that I would need.

I was so excited to see what was in it. Ang stood there curious to
see as well LOL. I opened it a little bit and saw one of the items in their. The rest
was in boxes.

So lets take a look at the awesome things they got me shall we....

When I first opened the box to peak inside I saw these shoes and 

was in love. I couldn't wait to get the chance to wear them. The snow

outside mixed with all the dirty would ruin these. They

are the right size. YAY!! They was nervous that they got the wrong 

size.

Like I said the next items were in boxes. When I opened the first box I got

this sexy mother effing iPhone case. I was so excited I put in on like right away.

It looks so damn hott. So I moved on to the next box. 

AND GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL iPhone case as well

FYI, I love tigers, especially white ones.

So you know I jizzed in my pants a

little when I pulled this out.

I didn't know which one I wanted on at the moment.

I decided to use this tiger case for my Winter to Fall case than use

the other for my Spring to Summer case. It literally took me about 

a minute to get the first case off. I felt like a monkey trying

to figure out a shape sorter block box. hahahah

These accessories are very much

needed for me as I am careless with my belongings but not others.

So the item from left to right is a car charger though I don't have a car,

that may come in handy if I do a road trip. The bag with the pink bit

is a cap for your dock port on the bottom of your iPhone so nothing gets

in it. There was a dark smoke one in there as well

but I am using that. And the final bag is not empty, it has a clear

protective cover in there for the front and back of the iPhone. I have

the front on at the moment. So now I don't have to clean it

every 5 minutes from the oils on my hands.

There was some random black thing that came with this stuff as well. They

didn't know that it was and nor did it. I have yet to figure it out.

I am was so happy and surprised. Love everything I got.

Its been a while since I felt the spirit of christmas.

Cant ask for a better friend.

MY FIRST SNOW DAY

Dec 16th - 17th

This may not be a big deal to some but to me it was one of the most magical moments of my life. I have never been in snow like this before. I have seen snow when I was maybe 12 not long because I was always in the hotel with my mom sadly.

So I have been in Cardiff for just over 2 weeks at this point and it has yet to snow. Mind you I hate the damn cold but I really wanted to play in some snow for the first time. It finally happened.

YAAAYYYY!!!
WOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

It snowed the night of the 16th. I was soooooooo excited. My body was just bursting with excitement. When I got back to my flat i was running around all over the place, kept saying, "I LOVE THE SNOOOOOW!!!!" I slipped liked 5 times. Was spinning around while looking up, enjoying the snow fall. I just wanted to scream and shout out all the excitement. I ran inside to get my camera to take pics and put down everything else. None of the pics have me in it thought, well none at this time. Most of them are with Justin, who happened to meet a girl while out there.

I almsot lost my camera a couple times.  While I was running around like a 5 year old child who has had too much candy and slipping all over the place, my camera fell out my pocket. I managed to find it obviously because you are seeing pictures from it  :)

I went back inside to put my camera down before i loose it again and ran back outside to play in the snow some more. I was pretty much alone at this point as snow was no big deal for everyone else.

i didn't stay outside alone for long though. It's no fun playing in snow alone after a while. So I went back inside to go sleep to wake up and be a kid again.

My soon to be playground

ITS MORNINGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

TIME TO GO OUT AND PLAY

WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I grabbed my toothbrush and cleaned myself up. I put two long sleeve shirts on, a really warm white sweater/jacket I just bought, a knitted hat, scarf and gloves and ran outside to join Dr. Bird, Ang, Rachel, Stu, and Shiraz.

Enjoy this video of everyone playing in the snow.

     

2nd Night out with The House

Dec 11th -
This was one crazy night that started off with just one drink. I am going to give you as much info as possible and try not to give you unnecessary details. There was so much stuff that happen this night. It started of with a chill day at the bar than ended with me going home with yet another joyful night out.

We started the day at Gassy Jacks as we always do. Everyone was not with use at this time though, not yet. It was just Paul, Matt, Stu, Ang, Daniel Bond (previously stayed here) and myself. Everyone got their pint after waiting a good ten minutes because it was only one bartender. We set near a window with frost. Ang, Stu and I ordered food which we would not see for 45 minutes. So we are all just talking for a bit than Matt leaves to call someone. Comes back to say he will be here in a bit. Sits back down and like 10 minutes later he notices that something is in his pint. Now mind you none of us touched his drink. It looked like someone shot their jizz in there. So he went get a replacement. Food came soon as he left so I took his seat so i can eat at the table properly. When i was eating, I couldn't help but feel the need to write something to a friend so I can take a picture an email it to them. So I did, and they loved it. Sorry I cant show you think pic. It is too personal. We soon switch tables.

Looks upside down but it's not. That
table is on the ceiling.  

After we switched tables the guy Matt was talking about comes and joins the crew. I don't remember his name though. So everyone just sat there telling stories, sexual experiences, joking around etc. We were ready to leave so we all chugged our drinks and left to go to Valcan. We set here and watched TV most while drinking. I had two drinks, both Jack Daniels with coke.We didn't stay long, so I had chug(drink fast) my second drink. They decided to go to The Crwys.

We get to the Crwys pub, get carded, get our drinks than go to the back so these guys can have a smoke and mingle some more. Some of our flat mates was to come meet us here in a bit. They have been busy with other things. Justin was in a class to get a license to teach English. Roger Soon comes with a haircut and tells us about how he was fingering this woman at the barbershop lmfao. We stay out here for a bit than go back inside. Got some more drinks and set off for a bit. A few minutes later Justin, Kelly and Dr. Bird join the group.

Then something totally awesome happened. Matt did something I have never seen done before

Check it out......

3 Glasses.....

4 Glasses.....

5 Glasses!!!!!!

He said he has stacked up to eight glasses before in a pub. If thats not impressive I don't know what is. We were at the this pub for maybe two hours. We all go back to the flat because everyone pretty much was done for the night.

Here is a couple pics of what happened on our way back to the flat .......

His ass was out for a good ten minutes at least
NOT I. Too damn cold to be doing that.

....and someone pissed in a trash can LMFAO

We reached our flat making bunch of noise as people that have been drinking usually do. Someone in the group thinks of the most brilliant thing to do. Can you guess what it is?

HIT THEMSELVES IN THE HEAD A FEW TIMES WITH A POT!!!!!

I bet WTF just popped in your head because it did for me. They did it so much that it dented the pot. 

Hee - fucking - larious.

Matt and Roger wasn't ready to call it a night nor was Justin and I. So we all left to go back out to a club called "Live lounge". Was in line for a good bit. Got in and it was wild. I was liking the vibe. Danced with a few people, drank, you know the usual. Everyone decided to move upstairs for a bit at some point so I followed because I didn't know where the hell I was, my phone was dead so no GPS and I don't think I had my keys either. I saw Roger sitting with some girls so I went to join him. I set next to this semi cute girl who I was told was on the chubby side.

YES TOLD!!! 

I had consumed a good bit of Jack Daniels by this time. Something happens....

I honestly don't remember how this happened but all I remember was sitting next to this girl for a bit and a couple minutes later her face is next to mine like she wanted to kiss me, so of course I did. From that moment on we were pretty much eating each others face off for at maybe 10 minutes. I pulled away from her a couple times. She kept grabbing me soon after to go back at it. Than all of a sudden she stops, grabs a soda and pours it on Matts head . He must have come join us I guess when I was busy. I was so confused as to what happen. Than all the girls left. I thought I had finally got somewhere.

Matt and Roger kept going out to smoke so I followed as they were my ticket home. I spoke to a girl a couple girls when I stood or set out in the cold waiting for these guys to finish their fags. I should have got their numbers. I always forget to get numbers because I usually out just to have a good time. At some point of the night I got to see the asshole side of Justin. I was standing in front of him and a couple people was walking in front of me. Unfortunately I am not a ghost that can walked through so I did what all things do when something comes between two objects. I moved back pushing into him a bit. He gave me this "wtf, homophobic look" I was so confused as to what that was about. I pretty much just kept my distance away from him for the night. I met a 

We pretty much stayed all night till they closed which was I think about 4.

It was another wild night in the books of living in Cardiff.

1st Night out with The House

Dec 10 2010 -
The time finally came when everyone in the house got to go out all together, except Claire and Roger. Claire is hardly ever home and Roger had work to finish I think. Everyone has been so busy with doing their school work, we have not had a chance to hang out. We all gathered in the lounge room and had some pre drinks. I had some really strong mix with Bermuda black rum. I had to catch up with every who has been down here drinking most of the evening. One of Paul's friends came over to come out with us. She had a crazy strong Irish accent and spoke real fast. You would really have to like listen in to try to understand her. Paul has a hard time understanding her some times as well. Our friend Elliot join us as well for the festive night that was about to happen. Their was some other additions to the crew that i met that night and the only name I remember is Jimmy. He would be the guy in the green shirt. The only reason I remember him is because when I was introduced to him I thought of a 'jimmy hat' LOL. Don't judge me. 

We left around nine to go to the pub on the corner early so we don't have to pay the £1 cover. Its called Gassy Jacks. Everyone got their drinks i went upstairs to sit and have a good laugh and take pics. Justin was already a lil tipsy. He is hilarious to be around 70% of the time when he is drunk. I stood up the entire time because there was no more seats left due to our large group of people. Ang was next to me with her Stu, coughing like she is about to choke up her lungs.

Paul is sitting near me and he says, "By the end of the night you are going to drink a pint". I told him, "No I am not. It's disgusting". So he made a deal...If I drink one pint I will not have to do it again. I thought about it and agreed. Why did I agree to this know its going to be horrible?

We didn't stay at Gassy's Jacks too long. We were maybe there for a half hour. We proceeded to go to the Valcan. It was a different vibe in here. OH man this night is such a blank in my head, partly because it was 11 days ago and partly because I got really drunk that night. I really need to blog ASAP. So yah, I don't remember much about what happen here. We went to another pub called Macintosh.

I went to the bar and got my Desperato as it is the closest thing to beer I drink. I was talking to a couple people in the group and out of nowhere Paul hands me my pint of beer. We made a deal so i had to do this. I took a sip and it was just vile. I didn't know how I was going to finish it. Every was watching me an having a good laugh as I drank it ever so slowly. I was advised by Jimmy that the trick is to not sip it but gulp it. I take a big gulp and was happy that it decreased it volume a good bit. Plus it did help a bit, though it was still horrible. If you have not caught on by now, I don't drink beer. Half of a pint left and i was just wanted it to go away so bad. My drinks from earlier start to kick in. I couldn't focus right and was on the verge of going into "auto pilot". For those of you that don't know what this means, let me enlighten you. Autopilot - when you wake up the next day and your friends tell you that you did this, you did that and you have no idea what they are talking about because you blanked out. I look at the half pint in my hand and tell everyone around i couldn't do it. So they kept telling me don't be a pussy and just finish it. I did this the fastest was possible,  CHUG IT!! Finished it. I felt so happy to have gotten that over and done with.

I went sit over by Tom, who lives with us. He had a drink in his hand, so i asked him what he was drinking. He wasn't sure because he got it from someone else. I took a sniff and knew exactly what it was - JIN AND TONIC - gross. I set by him for a bit to catch myself from the torture. I saw some people playing pool over in a corner so I wen to watch. In my memory i stood there watching, but from what i have been told, I had a big smile on my face and just laughing for nothing. lmfao Oh also, I was told I ate

I was feeling the blows by time we were ready to go to the next place. We were walking for a while to this next place. Went up some steps. I had no clue where we were or where we were going. Got to the place and there was a cover. I used up all my cash at the previous pubs. Everyone else had already gone in and I was left with Elliot. He was no help because is broke as usual. So he took me home. On my way home I realized I didn't bring my keys because I was with everyone. I didn't see the need to. Luckily when I got home someone came  to the door it was open like someone must have just got in as well. SO we went to my room. Elliot crashed on the floor and i froze my ass off in my bed.

MEET MY FLATMATES

I currently live with 11 other people. When you first
hear that, I bet your wondering who would live
with that many people. Its not that bad really.
everyone is really cool and open minded. I really am
enjoying living with them.
I think I should introduce you to my flatmates
especially since a good bit of the coming stories
will most likely include them.


First lets meet the doctor....


Name: Daniel Bird
Alias: Dr. Bird or Dan Bird

He is the eldest and tallest in the house. I have to make sure to not stand next to him too long or it will make me seem shorter. He is called Dr. Bird because he is studying to be a doctor. I don't remember what type though. So this is the doctor of the house. Lots of fun to hang around and be silly. I got to meet a lot of girls due to this guy.

Up next we have....

Name: Kelly Howells
Alias: n/a

Kelly is so out spoken and lovely. Love how she has her Blondie moments. Her accent is a lot strong then most people in the house so you might not catch everything she says. It didn't take long for me to understand what she was saying. She has her moments when she act like the mom of the house but within reason. I believe she is studying Housing. I don't know the details on what that really is.
Well since I just talked about Kelly, I might as well tell you about her other half...

Name: Paul Jones
Alias: Jonesy

Paul knows how to party hard. He know how to act crazy when needed from the stories I have been told and he also knows how to be sensible when needed as well. He has pulled me out a few times to go to a Pub and get pints, though I just get a sider. His accent is different as well. I didn't notice at first but I started to hear the difference as time went on. I don't remember what Jonesy does. Sorry.

I am the shortest guy in the house now lets meet the shortest girl.....

Name: Andrianna Ingram

Alias: Ang

Now I know what you'r thinking because I thought the same thing. How do we get "Ang" from her name. Well let me ask you this, how do we get 'Bob' from Robert? Dunno, neither do I. Anyway she is the weirdest girl in the house but a good way. From what I am told she is really smart....academically. She is the same height as me. She is vegetarian because she don't like the fact that they was once alive, not for the healthy reason. She absolutely loves DIP. Yes, dip...like salsa, guacamole etc. Chick could live on the stuff. We hit it off the first day and got to know each other fast. We even have a lil handshake going on now. She is studying Journalism.

Guess what, the next person up is now Ang's other half.....

Name: Stuart Cumming
Alias: Stu

Oh yah, I had my fun with his last name. Stu is very mellow type of guy. He likes his pints. Ang told me that we are pretty similar though I have not really seen that much similarities. He like Halo Reach as I do but that's all I have gathered and maybe his Mac laptop. He is the type of guy that will help you out if he can or if he is not too busy. He can also whip up a meal from random items in the kitchen. Damn him. hahahah. He is studying Music Engineering I think. I got to listen to a sample of his project. Was pretty cool.

Name: Roger Shadbolt
Alias: Rog

We have hung out a couple times but not much because he has been so busy with school projects. He is studying Food Science, basically The science behind food. Seems like he knows his stuff. I mean he got a A on one of his papers. He might even be getting a article published in some journal.

I have been told that if he dresses like a girl he can pass as one really well. He has been hit on by guys a couple times because of this. LOL

With out further ado, i give you

Name: Justin Cann
Alias: Dodger

I met him back in college in Bermuda than he disappeared and reappeared in January. Told me he was moving and here I am, thanks to this guy. He is pretty career oriented in comparison to me. He knows what he wants and how to get it. He is good at planning long term, which is why he organized this move and not me. Has short attention spend, talks a lot, very funny as he makes a joke of everything like I do, and is not afraid to be a little different as you can tell by that picture. He likes to listen to dancehall and a few other different things that is not coming to me at the moment.

Name: Elizabeth Wall
Alias: Liz

Meet Liz, the parsh girl of the house though she denies it. You are sure to have a good laugh with her. She like to party and have a good time. She is
studying the same thing as Kelly. If you don't remember its Housing. She is not home much though.

Name: Mat Bere

Alias: n/a
I cant really say too much about Mat as we have only
went out once and that was to like get some beers and go clubbing.
The only thing I can say about him is that he gets hammered and can stack pint glasses with magical fairy dust given to him by Tinkerbell.

Name: Claire Birkback
Alias: n/a

From what I know she is doing textile which is a lot of work. I have not seen her much because she is always working or out to visit family. We got to talking once up by her room with a couple others and she seems like she will be fun once she stops working.

Name: Tom Farrow
Alias: n/a

All I know about Tom is that he is more or less the gamer of the house and he plays American football, has a girlfriend, and keeps to himself.

Name: Shiraz Yasin

Alias: n/a

Shiraz is new to the house as Justin and I are. He pretty much entered the same time we did. He is a pretty cool guy. He is into anime and manga like I am. He is also into gaming as most of the guys in the house are really. He knows a little bit of Chinese, which surprised me. He is studying to be a lawyer. So he has been pretty busy for the past few days.

Well that's everybody that I currently live with here in
Cardiff. Everyone gets along well with each other so far.
Hope it stays that way.
Look forward to hearing some stories regarding these awesome people
that I have the pleasure living with.

GETTING OUR/YOUR FLAT

The area I am staying in currently revolves around college students

which is perfect. It was pretty simple to get a place here, especially if your a student.

Justin organized pretty much everything with getting the flat

by going to "http://www.spareroom.co.uk/" 

i think and organized two viewings

by calling the people that was advertising there.

You might be thinking "hmmmm, what about long distance bill?"

Well you can just get a long distance card in your area hopefully 

and use that. Justin didn't have to do that because you managed to get a number

out here some how from this site and get it forwarded to his Bermuda phone.

So when we got here we already had three viewings setup. 

The first one was the same night we got in 

and the second was the day after I think.

We was too late for the first one. When we got to the place Justin called the guy

that he spoke to before and he said that he gave it to someone else I think.

I cant remember. I wasn't worried at all because its really easy to get a flat here.

NOW HERE IS WHERE YOU WILL SEE HOW EASY IT IS

When we got back to the hotel, Justin checked on the site again for another place.

Found a place, called them and set up a viewing time for the next day.

I didn't know any details of the place, didn't really care because I trust Justins judgment.

Got to the place and found that there was 10 people living in this one place.

There is three bathrooms and two kitchens and a living room. 

Washer and dryer accessible and everyone was around our age.

Everyone we have met since we got here have been nice.

We hit it off with them instantly. All we had to do was go to the housing agency

which was literally around the corner, put our names on the lease, and pay the deposit.

ITS THAT SIMPLE.

Though when we was applying for the lease, it asked for my college and course.

Hmmmmm don't have one really, but they don't need to know that

can you say "BULL SHIT". LOL

We didn't have the deposit cash on us so we went HSBC got it,

came back paid. It was i think £640 each

OH OH OH you going to need your ID as well.

I'm sure you knew that, right?

THAT WAS 

We had two days left in the hotel

so we moved all our stuff to the flat on day three

and moved in on day 4.

We totally forgot to call the second place back because

we stayed at our soon to be flat for hours. Justin called them and they was pissed.

lmfao

I don't know if it would be that easy for you if you choose to come here.

I can tell you this though, there has not been one residential street 

that I have been on that is not looking for residence.

Getting HSBC International Account Part 2

Ok....so the last post about getting your account sorted 

pretty much told you the first stages of getting you account 

which was simple but there was more to come.

 Its nothing that you have to really do as everything comes to you. 

So I advise if and when you do, do this 

that you do it at least 3 weeks in advance. I will explain why.

As I explained before the process is simple but lengthy. 

Once you done what I said before, over the next 2 weeks 

you will start receiving a couple things separately. 

This is for security reasons. I don't remember the order that they come in at the moment

because I am posting this almost a month later

but none the less you still get the same items.

After you receive your card, five business days later I think

you will receive a bunch of information about interest rates,

different account types and internet banking (recommend getting).

The form to get this comes with all these papers  that you get

and all you have to do is send it back.

The form will ask you for your DOB, a security number

and a memorable place. The security number

has to be a minimum of 6 characters and not

a birthdate of any sort or phone number. Basically...

NOTHING THAT CAN BE CONNECTED TO YOU.

Than the next week you will receive your pin number.

The pin number comes on this sticker that over this noisy

background so that it cant be seen. To see it you have to hold it

against a white piece of paper. I recommend if you do tear it off

to put it somewhere that it cannot get lost.

I am notorious for losing things. So yes, I LOST MINE!!!

No surprise there. Don't worry your pretty little head though

Its very simple to get back but once again its lengthy.

You can request to get in via your internet banking 

in like two clicks, but you will not get the pin for up to 7 working days.

So keep that in mind before you rip it off.

~ ~ ~ FYI ~ ~ ~

If you plan to transfer money, keep in mind the transfer rate. For example, lets say you want to transfer £100

from BDA dollars its going to cost you $60 roughly extra.

So in total you will be withdrawing $160 roughly.

Day 1 - Sanders meet Cardiff, Cardiff meet Sanders

Soooooo lets start with the airplane ride which was suppose to be 6h45m

There was turbulence a few times to a point that it felt like the plan was going to break apart.

Though like 80% of the plane ride was smooth.
I couldn't sleep because it was uncomfortable having to sit up most of the time.

I felt the need to get up and stretch a few times, but i didn't.

They served one course meal with an open bar.

I only had a tiny bottle of red wine, in which i didn't even finish.

Justin slept most of the time. Good thing they played good movies so I had no reason to slit my wrist. The screen was tiny and you had a selection of movies to watch and you can see the current status of the flight and weather. Everyone has their own screen.

The plan ride was over before I knew it.

There was some trouble when we landed because the workers didn't expect us to be there for another 15 minutes

so they had to scramble to get to work

they refused to attach the thing to get out the plane

until the had the block for the wheels in place.

Justin had some trouble at customs because his passport bar code was not scanning.

Our luggage took forever to get taken off the plan because there was some power failure on the plane

to get the bags out. Bags finally came.

Than we had to get two trolleys to carry his 5 massive bags which we had to pay a pound for.

Our next travel arrangement was not for another three hours, which was the Couch Ride.

We got an advancement to pretty much the next 20 minutes bus

which cost us about 25 quid (25 pounds)

got outside and it was cold but not as cold as I thought.

Though my ears got numb in like two minutes

We was confused as to what platform to be on, but got to the right place eventually

Justin got called 'Will Smith' buy one of the bus operators lmfaaaoooo

Because we was one of the last to get on he had to remove some bags to make room for ours as we had a long ass ride ahead of us.

I slept mostly during this time though so I cant say much about the bus ride

The driving out here makes Bermuda driving seem like we don't move at all.

There was a loose screw somewhere that rolled back and forth that pissed me offfff.

Got to Cardiff and had to figure out a away to get all those bags like 100 meters from where we was.

We had to pretty much move 2 each, than stop than take another

like its some relay race.

A bus operator told us where we can get a taxi but they was being dicks.

So we called to get one. We had to do the relay thing again 

but this time we was going to have to go across the street which was full of people.

Taxi came and was no use as it was too small for all the begs. 

The driver of that taxi tried to get us a bigger taxi by waving one down but that was a failure. 

Than he had to leave as two guys came to use his services.

Some random Indian looking guy stopped to help us out name Jezz

he told Justin he was off duty and saw two black guys that
looked like they was in desperate need of help.

He came and helped to brothers out. LMFAAOOO

He gave us a ride to our hotel and Justin gave him a generous tip so he offered private services.

Taxi driver here are down to earth.

I heard him talking to Justin a bit and he cursed a few times.

Shocked me at first than I was just excited.

Got to the hotel and there was no trolleys to assist so we had to relay the bags in again.

Got to the room and it was a hell of a lot smaller than Justin thought but it was fine none the less

Stacked everything against the wall and went right out to the hotel bar and got a shot.

Than went to this Thai place but its was way too much for food so we left to go to the Mall

and OOOMMGGGG guess what happening on the side walk....

a guy spinning a fire staff YAY!!

I introduced myself after he finished and got his name but that's it.

Got in the mall walked around a bit.

They had a touch screen map/locator to help locate things

I was starving so we went to this Japanese place and got some sushi

and OMFG you would love the look of this place

I wanted to steal the wall picture. I will try get a picture for you soon

They had the conveyor belt thing with all the foods rotating

so you just grab it and they charge you based on the color of your bowl

After that we went to try get a cellphone.

Phones are free with 18 or 24 month contract mostly

but we couldn't because we didn't have a address yet

and there was some BS about having to be in the country
for like 3 months or 3 years before we can get a bill phone. 

So we decided to come back to the hotel which is like 5 minutes away.

On our way back there was this guy trying to push a car to get it started.

There was no way he was going to be able to do that, especially because the car was on a slant

Justin and i offered to help push the car to get it in gear and start. The three of us pushed while the guys wife started the car.

For all we knew they could have been stealing it, lol.

She kept starting it too early and we was running out of road.

We had like 15 feet of road left before we hit the car in front of us.

The guy shouts at his wife "wait till we get some speed before you start"' lol.

We finally get it started like 5 feet from the car in front of us.

Came back to the hotel chilled for a bit watched a bit of a movie.

I called Mark (friend from back home) to let him know I will come see him when I have my flat.

We left to go back to the mall for something that I cant recall.

I was hungry again so we went to this Italian place in the mall.

We both unknowingly ordered the exact same thing.

Food was delicious. I ordered some wine, 

which was a lot better than the ones they have in Bermuda.

It was a lot smoother.

There was this hot ASIAN waitress there yum.

She asked us for something at one point and I was shocked for some reason

to hear that welsh accent.

Took as second to call someone to let them know we wanted our bill

as they was all over the place.

Finally got the attention of the only guy waiter there and told him we wanted the bill.

A couple walks in, orders their food and we still have not got out bill.

I got his attention again and remind him that we wanted our bill.

He apologized and pretty much said he will get it right now.

Another couple walks in and orders their food and get it and we still have not got our bill.

Both couples got their food taken and just sitting and talking

and we still have not got a bill.

I called a different person, one of the girls this time and tell her

she walks over and tells the cashier

and it took like a while for that to come.

I think we was waiting for our bill maybe 45 minutes, 30 minimum.

I wasn't even angry nor was Justin. We was just confused.

Left the mall and took some next way out and got lost for a few minutes than recognized where we was.

Came back to the room and finished watching the movie.

Called Elliot (a friend out here from Bermy as well) 

He works at a night club called Glam so we went there and got in free.

There was a real DJ that actually mixed songs unlike most in Bermy. YAY!!!

Got two shots of Vodka to start the night.

Went chill on the couch to kinda observe the dance scene.

The place was wheel chair accessible, so there was like 3 people in a while chair rolling around.

I bought one of them their drink because they was way too low too be seen or heard.

I was not really feeling the night as I had not had a bath since I left Bermuda.

So i was feeling gross.

I danced a bit  with these drunk guys and started to get sweaty.

I didn't really smell bad though I just felt gross so I was not interested in hitting on anybody.

I got a few "hi's" and waves from girls.

I went sit down, and I saw this young Asian girl

So i went sit next to her

I was debating if i should hit on her or not, but i said fuck it might as well see what happens.

"You look as bored as i am. How about i buy you a drink to make this night more fun" i asked her

and she was like "WOT" i repeated myself but in a "UK" accent and she agreed to get a drink.

she said something but i didn't hear her.

So when i went to lean down and ask her what she said.

I head-butt her in the eye, i knew it was all fucked up from that point.

I thought she was going to sit there and I bring it.

Bought her a drink and she pretty much walked away instantly

I asked for her name and she told me. should have asked for her number too

oh well.

That was a fail

Met these two guys from new Zealand, they was really cool.

They showed us some semi-gay way that they say hi there or something.

Danced with these guys for a bit, 

than we all decided to go upstairs were they was playing hip-hop

and the like. I danced a lot and got a lot of attention from girls.

A few girls came to dance with me

They played some dancehall so you know me and Justin.....well no. I pretty much was dropping LEVELS

you would think I was my brother lmfao

Justin seriously needs to learn some more dancehall dances so we we can rip up the dancefloor.

I don't know how he doesn't when that's what he listens to and watches.

He failed so much with his approach to girls for some many reason all night.

I go back downstairs where they was playing the euro/techno that I liked more.

Chilled with Elliot at the bar for a bit than went back upstairs to find Justin.

Found him with the New Zealand guys.

One of them was talking to some white guy and the next thing i knew
the guy got pushed and i saw him getting pounded.

I was so confused as to wtf happened. I think it might have been over the rugby game earlier that day

as new Zealand beat Wales and he was flaunting his New Zealand shirt. 

Bouncers came in and cleared the area in lightning speed

My entire vibe was gone.

I went back down to chill with Elliot, got a lil bored standing there like a loser

so I went to the dance floor and started to dance

and this random guy taps me on the shoulder and squats down um like huh?

he wanted me climb on his shoulders, so i did

and in like 3 minutes a bouncer comes and rips me off of him hahahahahah.

My vibe at this point was really gone

so i went back to the bar to chill with Elliot

Justin soon came to join me.

Elliot asked me to go hit on some girls

But i told him i feel gross because i have not had a bath since i left

so he told me go to the bathroom and get some cologne from the bathroom attendant.

When i get in there this guy spits out a yellow ball out his mouth

i look in the urinal and saw that that yellow ball came out of the urinal. EEWWW

Than another guy picked one up and bit it with his front teeth than spat it out

I was highly disgusted. Took a piss, washed my hands dried them with the
paper the bathroom guy gave me

paid for a pack of gum and some cologne and was feeling a bit better.

Went back out to the guys.

Justin went over to 3 random girls and offered to buy them shots

None of them looked interested in him all they wanted was a free drink.

as all girls do. Soon as they took their shots they disappeared.

There was pretty much nobody downstairs anymore so we went upstairs for the rest of the night

I kinda got back in the groove and danced for a while.

Than Elliot came up and gave us our jackets as the club was closing.

We agreed earlier that night to go to a strip club because i have never been to one

and was intrigued in experiencing one. The first one we went to was closing,

the second one was open till 5 so we had two hours.

They went in and i went across the street to get some food because i was starving.

When I was inside i kept hearing someone cursing every so often.

I was like wtf?

Got outside and there were these three guys and one of them was the source of all this noise.

From the looks of it, he had Tourettes. I was so confused for a while as i stood there in aww

to see it with my own eyes. 

Finished the sandwich I bought and walked back to the strip club to meet Justin and Elliot.

I was not all that pleased at first. there was no girls on poles all over the place

Just lots of women with very little clothing walking around.

Few minutes later a girl starts to work the pole.

She done pretty good. I was just watching in amazement. Took off her bra

and I was like WOW those are natural and beautiful. i didn't get aroused by it.

I just grew to respect her.

I have been told by a girl in Bermuda that its pretty hard to do some basic moves on a pole.

When she finished she came to ask those two for a private show. They was not interest so they asked me.

I was like "hmmmm yah sure why not. Might as well see what its like"

Cost me 20 pounds. I knew in my mind that this was a stupid idea because I cant touch

but she done really well. She danced with a top and bottom on for a minute or two

than she removed her top and bring her breast like a inch away from my face

 I gave her faces like biting my lip, nodding my head etc

then she takes of her panties. I was like um wow. I was not expecting that.

She danced a bit fully naked than it was over.

Went back chill with the guys and like 5 minutes later someone asked if we wanted a dance.

This went on all damn night with girls asking us for dances.

Two of them at one point came and asked together then made us an offer of "Two for One"

Justin accepted the offer so i said fuck it lets go.

Justin was on a chair a couple feet away from me.

Paid the 20 pounds and off came her bra like instantly

There was a girl dancing with this guy next to me

and my dancer smacks the other dancers ass.

Took me a few seconds to realize what just happened.

She was grinding and moving her hips as one would.

My arms was on the arm of chair and she removed them,

so she can climb on them and work some more

She got down, bent over and removed her bottoms

At this point it was expected but what wasn't expected
was to see her play with herself then lick her fingers.

Sorry, maybe i should have left that out?

Than her and the other girl changed places and started dancing.

The moves were almost the same.

When it ended both of them kissed me on the corner of my mouth

I was so confused about that.

I went back out to Elliot with Justin.

Justin got convinced to go back in again.

I refused to pay anymore for a dance.

Was not worth it. Yes it was very much entertaining but its not worth it

Why pay to tease yourself?

I bought a drink for me and Elliot while we sat and waited for Justin

and like i said there was dancers asking us for private shows every five minutes.

Justin was in there for a while then came back by this time the place was closing.

He left to got to the rest room, i followed and there was another bathroom attendant there.

Elliot walked us home through some next route.

Justin pretty much crashed a little after we got there.

I staid up for a bit got a shower and went sleep.
