Bulgarian Village and Night out

One of the best nights by far was the trip to the Bulgarian Village. We had a small group since we couldn't fit in the night before so it was a bit more personal which was great. The night started off by us getting dropped off at a locals house in the nearest village which was only 10 min's away. You were greeted with bread and spices at the door and then taken to your seat inside. There was an unlimited amount of hot brandy, home made wine, beer and food. The wine was easily the best I have tried in the country. There was also three courses of traditional meals, which included a lot of potato's, lamb and vegetables. The food was great and we got to listen to some local folk singing, watch some dancing and even get dressed up in drag. The whole night was only around £14 each and was well worth it.

After the village we were both pretty tanked and Mel had the great idea to go to the Karaoke bar where it was two for one cocktails. It didn't take Mel too much to convince me to get up on the stage and sing some Red Hot Chili Peppers Under the Bridge, since I knew I would never see these people again. Mel also did a great version of the time warp! As you could imagine another 10/10 hangover resulted. Lucky once you got out in the snow and sub zero temperatures it seemed to be bearable.

Felicity's Birthday

After we finished up the first day of the conference we headed back to the hotel to get ready to hit the town. We then met up with Felicity's sister who came up from London and headed out to a nice pub for a few pints. There was a beer called Nottingham Pale Ale that was just like Coopers Pale Ale back home so I got stuck into that. After we finished up there we went out to dinner at a nice Italian restaurant that was recommended to us. We then started walking back to the main sqaure and noticed a heap of bright fluro lights coming from a nightclub, we went over for a look and saw a sign for £2 cocktails, the rest is best explained in the photos below!

The Church

We had our first Church session last Sunday, it definetly was an experiance I won't be forgetting anytime soon. We met up with Vauns friends at 11am on Sunday for a few predrinks, we then headed to the Church with VIP entry thanks to Vaun. We very quickly got stuck into the beers. You order drinks by pre-purchasing tickets which get you 3 beers at a time in a plastic bag which you can tie around your belt, it opens from 12pm - 4pm on Sundays. Iif you want to know more you should read a history brief history of the Church.

School Disco

We all got dressed up and headed to the School Disco at Hammersmith. It was a fantasic night and everyone had a great time. The girls even got on stage and performed a great dance routine.
