Highcross Shopping Center and the Outside Market

Hello mates I just want to add a few more pictures of the City Center to to the blog. This building is in the heart of Leicester and is pretty much the biggest mall in Leicestershire. The mall has 2 floors and many shops plus a Mediterranean food market with lots of goodies :).  the last two pics are of the open air market near Highcross. The market contains a huge variety of fruits, veggies, and rarities all of which for a super cheap price ( 1 GBP per lbs of fruit for example).

Here are some cool pictures of the city center where every student goes to do shopping and to eat out. Cheers!

England Update

     Hey there folks today I felt like finally typing some news instead of posting just pictures. Although the pictures can say a thousand things I am feeling in the mood to write lol. Anyway from my last entry I finally moved into my permanent dorm for the semester. I really like my room. It is very spacious and my roommate is very nice. His name is Jae Min he is from S. Korea ( correction to the name by the way, I thought his name was Yoshi at first but that was the name of one of my dorm mates here). On Saturday eight of the residents went on a drinking binge and caused a lot of commotion that evening (i.e. playing music so loud that I could hear it through my headset in my room and them trying to lock pick into my room at 6am while still drunk ). the end result of that night for those guys was a warning from the sub warden and one of them going to the hospital for drinking too much alcohol. Aside from that fun adventure I went out to a party at the O2 academy on Campus and I must say Cider is awesome but potent lol. Last weekend I took weekend trips to Nottingham and to Warwick Castle. I personally enjoyed Warwick Castle the best. I was very ecstatic to finally be able to see a real castle. The one in Nottingham was more like a huge manor than a castle. Today I finally completed my class registration. That process by the way is the biggest pain in the ass. I had to traverse the campus many times during the week to take papers to the respective departments and set up my classes. At last that is finally behind me. One other thorn in my rear was that  the management class I wanted to take filled up and I had to pick something else. I decided to pick up Intro. to world archaeology: BC. It was something that sounded really cool and fun to me as well as being able to transfer the credits back to ODU.  This weekend I got quite a bit of fun planned :). On Friday I am going with the Archaeology dept. to Burrough Iron Age Fort, a ancient Roman fortification on a hill near Leicester that the school has been excavating. Saturday I am taking a day trip to London with the ISA (International Student Association) weeeeee. Lastly on Sunday I am going out to the city centre to a pub with the study abroad society for a gathering. I will be posting some pictures of the city soon so be ready  till then cheers :).
