So it is day three here in Bangor and it already feels like I have been here for so long. I absolutely love it!! I have met so many new people! Surprisingly there are quite a few people from the states! Especially Denver! I have made close friends with a couple of people from there and we have been going to all of the events together. We also met a couple in one of our orientation meetings. one of them is from California and the other is from Belgium. Yesterday was a day filled with walking around. Honestly every day has been. The campus is spread all throughout town, which honestly I really love. We went to go pick up some essentials for our rooms and cooking supplies since we cook all of our own meals. I am starting to get by barrings of where everything is. We went out and got Chinese food last night where I learned that tipping isn’t really a thing in the UK and Europe. Afterward we went to an Asian market that was just across the street and for anyone who knows me will know how excited I was to go into it!! It was incredible!! We made a stop at a very nice bar across the street right after that where we all hung out and talked for a few hours.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today we got an early start and I went for a run through town and found the Pier. It is absolutely incredible and probably my favorite place I have found so far!! At the end of the Pier is a tea room which I will FOR SURE be visiting soon!! When I got back we got registered at the gym and then walked around campus to get signed off on a couple of classes. There was a free lunch in one of the main buildings where we got to meet up with people in our same major and eat FREE food!! Which was a highlight for any college student!! Directly after we made a quick trip to the grocery store which let me tell you for me quick and grocery store don’t usually go in the same sentence, so that was a feat in and of itself! We made it in just enough time to unload groceries and head back out for a lesson on Welsh history!! Spoiler! fun facts to come!<\/em> Overall this trip has been so incredbily amazing so far and I can even imagine what else is in store for me! I have already created a list of places I want to go and things that I want to see, but if you have any suggestions, by all means comment!! Thank you all for the support!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wales fun facts!<\/p>\n Stay tuned for more Wales Tales! Hint… next blog will be more of a dragon tale!
