Parties and bbqs - days 3&4

Having arrived here only 4 days ago I can say I have attended a birthday party, 2 BBQs and a wedding anniversary lunch. Can't say I'm complaining. On Sunday we first visited a lovely Chinese birthday party of a family friend. Not knowing we were attending it, I had put on my 10cm platforms. All I can say is that it was a bad decision. On top of being white, foreigner not even directly connected the person celebrating, I was about 30 to 40 cm higher than everyone there. After sitting down and getting familiar with some of the guests I got treated to the best Chinese food I've had in my life. Ater all it was all homemade <3

After that Tim's mom dropped us off at a BBQ party organised by Tim's friend. Well, mentioning food briefly - Indian dishes, grilled chicken and marshmallows with digestives in the evening. Nom. Even though I did not know anyone upon arrival by the end of the day I've managed to meet and talk to some super interesting, friendlyand really smart people - they are all studying physics, maths or medicine ;) Oh and Tim got thrown into the pool - apparently by now, it's a tradition.

I also got to try moonshoes - I'll refer to them as kangaroo shoes,they make you feel much more like a kangaroo, rather than a person walking on the moon - in my opinion. I've seen these online at some point ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtyCi-3qW9I ). I did like them, but I was sure I wasn't going to buy them any time soon, I also didn't know anyone who had them or even heard of the so I got them out of my head. Turns out their family had a pair... and I could try them on. I did. They were really fun and not that unstable at all, really cool to run with them and just be super tall ;D

Today was a special day, sine I was invited along to celebrate awedding anniversary in a really expensive restaurant. I don't think I would ever go there on my one let alone with my family. The service and the food were worth it though. Also got to enjoy a nice sunny walk along the Thames in Richmond, apparently a really expensive region popular amongst celebrities, well I sure felt like one :).

DAY 26

Today, I was jut happy to eat shugar all the time. 3rd period, a cupcake from Nataša - just like that :D, 4th period, birthday cake made for Vida with blueberries, whipped cream and some other unidentified stuff, 6th period Vida's home-made snickers bar. After coming home - tea and potica with Neža. Nom <3

DAY 19

Today during the lunch break, Vida offered me something really delicious. No, it was not a potato chip, it was actually a dried piece of mango.
Oh my gosh, I had no idea this thing even existed. Well long story short, I fell in love with the taste. I'm familiar with the mango-flavoured bubble-tea bubbles, but I have never actually had a fresh mango.
Changing the subject. Having been lectured on food additives and their possible negative consequences earlier today, I scanned the label and was happy to see it only contained mango. Nothing else.
Well today's post doesn't really have a proper point. Mango is great.

DAY 12

Today I spent 2 hours in the best place in - or should I say on -  my house. The roof. I find it to be the best place to study, provided that there is sun and not too much wind. No one is bothering you, you can not be distracted by any electronic devices and after you get bored of gazing into the distance, you just have nothing better to, do than to study and be productive. Basically utile dulci (hooray for actually using latin in real life^^).

DAY 6

Well this was my first time having frozen yoghurt ;) I tried it with fresh strawberries and it was really  refreshing, sweet just amazing... NOM. I will definitely eat some more in Slovenia!
