This weekend we went to a place called Sports Cafe that is located in Picadilly Circus. On Tuesdays they have student night and there are always a ton of students there drinking and casually talking. They also have beer pong going on so you can play for 5 pounds which is also a nice touch. What I love so much about going here is you are able to meet others students from all around the world in a common place with a vibe that everyone is used to. What is so apparent when being there is the language that is going on all over the place. There are so many different languages everywhere you don't know which one is coming from which place. I really enjoy just listening to other languages are trying to learn some of the language. It is also one of my favorite places because the amount of other people you meet.
What also was interesting this time at Sports Cafe was that one girl we met from France was one of the coolest girls we have met on this trip. We were talking to her for a while and we realized she had never played beer pong before in her life. This was so shocking to us and we had to show her how to play. We played for a while and after playing I realized we were showing her a tradition and ritual that americans always use. Beer pong is one of the biggest drinking games in America if not number one and it was so surprising to see she never played before. One of our biggest traditions and she had never even heard of it. It was really awesome to show her how to play and she actually one a game! It was one of my favorite times because we were able to teach someone from France a major tradition and ritual that goes on in America.
