It's been a little while since I updated this! We went on a skating adventure with a South African, a Swede, a Hungarian, and a German on wednesday! It was really fun although the skates were pretty horrible and their indoor arena was even worse. Over the weekend we didn't get up to much but managed to get out for some fun. We headed to the gay quarter of Birmingham for a lady gaga night which was pretty fantastic! Tomorrow we will finally get to move into our flat (we were waiting for the carpet, tile, and kitchen to be installed). So I will update and post some pictures when we get settled in!
