So I'm going to use this entry for some weird (to say the least) things I've seen around here. Actually, it hasn't been as messed up as I expected... as my mate pointed out yesterday, we haven't encountered any hookers, drug dealers or obvious gays.

However, there have been other disturbing things. Right in front of the uni, there's a cathedral/church/religious thing. When you walk close to it, you can see on the main entrance windows "Hate Evil, Love Good." That's perhaps the most fucked up I've ever seen... a church promoting hate... does it get any more ironic than that?

Another aspect of England that you don't see as much in Venezuela is all the ads that go around. It is impossible to take a walk through the city centre (and around) and not end up with one ad on your hands. At the very least you've had 10 of those bloody handouts flashed at you or thrown at you. At the beginning it was cool because you see where the promotions were and the hot places... but seeing that I've already got my guide to Rock Newcastle, that hardly seems relevant. Yet, I always end up with one of those flyers... damn it. Well, yesterday there was actually someone delivering the flyers to our flat. I was shocked at that. She just knocked on our windows and told us there were cheap drinks and hot girls with wet shirts at... and she threw in about 10 flyers (you know, just in case we lose the other 9 we still have a guide of where to go... even though it's the biggest bloody place down by the Central Station). That's just wrong, it's something when they shove the flyers in your face when you're walking in public territory, but when they pollute your flat with that crap? Unacceptable.


Weather Report: Pretty nice day, no sun, obviously, but it's not too cold. It's a bit windy, which makes it a no-go for spending a nice day outdoors reading , but it's a more-than-acceptable day (given the North Eastern standards). 12 degrees.
