Drunk Night Out - Part Deux

Friday began with course registration. The outcome wasn't quite what I was hoping for, but it wasn't that bad. I ended up with Friday off, which is pretty awesome. After registration was over I decided to go on a little photo tour of campus and took the following pictures:

After the photo session I just wasted time for most of the day until it was time to go out.

The evening began at the Fylde bar once again. I got there a bit early and for a while was wondering if I was in the wrong place, but then the crowd showed up. I learned a new drinking game from the locals called Arrogance, which was pretty simple and a lot of fun. I took these at the Fylde bar:

Right to left: Amanda, Rosy, Marianne, Diego, Urmilla (Urmie). I don't remember the guy on the far left or the two guys in the background.

After pregaming at the bar for a few hours it was time to go to town for a bar crawl. In the same fashion as Wednesday evening we loaded up the buses and headed out. On the bus we played a game where we sang a little song and on each time through a new person would come and sit on the back seat of the bus. By the time we got there we had 20 people sitting on each other on the back seat of a double decker bus, it was great.

Arriving in town we headed for the first bar of the evening called Eleven. It was a nice looking locals bar. The drink special for the night was half priced bottles of Desperados, which is Tequila-flavored beer. It was SOOO good with a lime in the bottle. Our group ordered so many that we cleaned their stock out and had to switch to other drinks after the first round. I took these pictures at Eleven:

A big group of all international students. Too many to name.






Urmie, who is from Sydney.

We stayed at Eleven for about an hour, then it was off to the Friary. The Friary is a converted church and it was my favorite bar of the evening. The ceiling was probably 40 feet high and there was a balcony section, and if you know me you know that I was instanly in love. We got our rounds and headed straight up to the balcony. Our time at Friary was relatively short, so we chugged our drinks and continued on to Walkabout. Walkabout is an Australian-themed bar, which got the Aussie international students pumped. We were pretty much the only thing going in Walkabout, so getting a drink was easy. We had a few rounds here and danced for a bit before we headed for our final stop of the evening, Cuba. Cuba was quite a bit different this time than it was on Wednesday however. Apparently they open their big room for Friday evenings, otherwise its the small room that I described in my past post. There were quite a few other people in the bar, but we brought the real party as we always do. We all danced and drank into the wee hours of the morning just like we did on Wednesday. I headed out at about 1:30 with my friends Urmilla, Megan, and I can't remember who else. We grabbed a taxi and headed back to Megan's flat.

Back at Megan's flat we all hung out in the kitchenette and for the first time I tried Vegimite. To my surprise it actually wasn't bad. It was even better when we put slices of English cheddar cheese on it. We hung out snacking for a bit then I headed out to crash.
