[a.place.to.run.wild]

Sometimes running wild in a new city is the most exhilarating feeling in the world. Every corner is something new. Every restaurant looks amazing. This is our new jungle to explore. We just haaaapen to live in the one city in England that has the largest shopping centre! ;) 
The BullRing has been a place of frequent visits and strolls. It has also been a place of extreme congestion, unwordly smells, and of course, where anything can happen. 

We were lucky enough to catch some sights of Birmingham's ARTSFEST. Random performances throughout the streets, some feel good old school music, and concerts. ALL FOR FREE! ... free... ahh the most perfect word in the English language. It particularly appeals to the dirt poor student (to which has been my 'job title' for as long as I can remember, UP until now!)or young adults, like myself and Mike, who are just beginning to make their footprint in the world. It was great, and for all my friends who love the arts, you would have thoroughly enjoyed this sight. OH, and not to mention the awesomeness of it all, it was SUNNY! I mean, don't get me wrong, its not like we live in a dungeon where we never see light. It just comes and goes as quickly as candy in my hand :) One minute it is sunny, the next it is pouring down rain. But that's the sacrifice we made by moving here. No more sunny winter days like back at home. From what I hear its more of a cold constant cloudy day. all the time. :( boo.

There are yet SO many more places to see. We've only dipped our toes into a tenth of what is around us. One thing that has become a new favourite is...... PRIMARK! If you've never been to England, its quite the store. Not only is it an animal kingdom inside, but you see the sight of those brown bags roaming through the city like wild fire, an infectious disease really. I mean where else can you go and spend 10 quid on a whole new outfit, which includes SHOES! It's the bubonic plague, everyone has it. (for instance, those cute jean flats you see to your left, 2 pounds!--> this was also at ARTSFEST, we were sitting in a court yard watching some shows). 

Anyhoot, its time to brace the cold today, hop on a double decker, and into town we go. It's Mike's big day to apply for some jobs :) Always have thoughts running through this head, so im sure soon enough will be yet another ramble. lovely :)
