Some random things I left out

I have noticed that Ive forgotten to mention some fun/funny things that have happened over our time here.
A couple weeks ago Callie and I went on a walking tour of Brick Lane which is the Pakistani area of London, and our tour ended in a free 5 course meal, paid for by our program! This was during the tube strike so it took me a considerable amount of time to get there and I was late, but it was totally worth it!
Just this past weekend, our whole flat was woken up (around 445am) to a banging on the door and the fire alarm going off, we gather the essentials and booked it outside where only a handful of students and residents had gathered. Apparently someone in had the marvelous idea of pulling the alarm to get one of the residents to come out...who didn't even ended up waking up to hear the alarm! It took the fire department ages to get there and when they finally did they were clueless, which is just one more reason to appreciate America.
Lastly, last night as Callie and I were falling asleep our flatmate's friend who is also in the program decided it would be a good idea to fix our running toilet....after he had spent a night at the pub. Needless to say he didn't fix it and ended up creating a toilet water fountain in our bathroom resulting in an inch of water on the floor and our toilet broken (not to worry though because we have two in our flat). Luckily his roommate and much more sober friend came and fixed the problem temporarily...I'm going to leave it to our flatmates to explain what happened.
Just some stories from a day in the life of a Londoner
