Wednesday was class and BEERFEST! I know sooo exciting! Class was pretty good, but of course I was looking forward to the Great British Beer Festival. Rachel and I left for the festival after class and a good lunch and got there around 2pm. We met up with Kyle, the only guy that was in Ireland with us for the earlier part of the trip. It was great to see him and see how all of his travels prior to us leaving had been going!
This was one of the many beers that we had sampled that day called the triple chocoholic. It really did have an aftertaste exactly like chocolate.. it was a bit weird. Anyways, a little known fact about this Beer Festival that we did not understand was that for each drink you actually wanted you had to pay.. but the prices were really cheap and at most 2 or 3 pounds. Although we did make it around asking for a lot of realllly small sips before we committed to any beers ciders or perrys.
This man was a really nice guy from the Cider and Perry station. We loved his shirt so we just had to get a picture of it and he posed for all of us :) what a nice man. Until of course you ask for so many small sips that it amounts to practically a half glass in total.. then they get a little bit mad and want you to buy something :) he he he
Day 14 was not anything too too exciting I had class and an interview that night which I was preparing for for a good while because it had been my first interview since A-round interviews. Then Day 15 was a full day of class, outside of the classroom. We started off going into shops and stores not as shoppers but as researchers. We took in the details, the colors, how it made you feel, who they were marketing towards, what their promotions were and other such things. We went into stores such as Primark, Neu Look, Next, Marks and Spencers, DKNY, Mulberry, MM, Stella McCartney, the Dover Street Market and many others.
It was really a full day. The picture above was from one of the windows at Marks and Spencers and this one is from Louis Vuitton. They had taken all sorts of bags and turned them into animals, it was pretty interesting. Overall it was a very busy day and my brain was exploding afterwards.. So it was time for a crazzy relaxing and fun night in.

I just want to know if you've had a Bass yet? I happen to think it's great. Also, hint for you, try mixing a hard cider with beer (1/2 and 1/2 should do it)....YUMMY!!!!!
