The olympics torch

Writing right from my bed, i'm trapped at home for a flue that don't want to leave me since saturday.
I still have many pics and many things to share about my vacation to UK.
I also noticed that London has been a common choice for many fb friends, this summer.
But back to te subject:
It happened, while we were in Bredford, that the Olympics torch passed trough Lister Park, that was quite close to my friends home, so even if i don't care about the Olympics games it was a nice event to see.
Here a view of the park, very beautiful and quite big.

We checked the torch path on the web until the time was right, so we didn't had to wait too long.
The park was very crowded so my bf had to put me on his shoulder to le me see something (i'm short!) and that was perfect to take some good pics!

After the torch has passed we went for a walk trough the park and ended to the museum

And this is me being silly

A night out!

I told to those friends of mine we wanted to taste the real English life!
So they made us to eat real English food (will see in another post) and the English young life.
So basically they took us out to drink and dance on Friday night ;)
First stop was at a veeeeery crowded pub, lot of beer and voices and music and noise and girl laughing and drunk guys.
After that we went to a club where we could sit, drink and dance!
So this is a before-pic

And those are the AFTER!

 (you can see the fatty side of me..leeeeeegs)

I'm not good at drinking, i don't use to.

Here i just had a cocktail and i was kinda....silly!

Build-a-Bear

On the second day in Leeds (i start from day 2 'cause on day 1 we took airplane and landed at 8pm) my friends took us to their biggest commercial centre "White Rose".
White rose is Yorkshire's symbol.
There, as in almost all commercial centres, you can find Build-a-Bear shop.
It is just lovely, kids can't resist it, you can build your own bear to be your best friend forever.

You can chose your bear type and color, it comes empty and then they fill it, you can also chose it to be softer or harder filling. Then you take a little hearth and you rub it on your arms and belly and front so it get permeate of you.
At this point you put the little heart into the bear and fill it with their help.

Before or after filling it you go chose how to dress your new friend, there is a large choice, you can even dress as a jedi, darth vader, fireman.

There are shoes, boots, skates, hats, bags, and many other things!
At this point you get a code and go sit at the pc station to chose a name for your bear and start it's own story

Then they pack it for you.
This is my Bunny, i called it Leeds and is female.

And this is me and her happy together <3
