Some friends and I went out to Tennents to grab dinner before heading to the show. Gots to love pub food. I don't think I'll ever get sick of fish and chips. Hahaha.
Here's a group picture of us just outside the subway stop. You probably can't tell, but we were freezinggg!
I was really excited about this fireworks show because the show is set to songs from Mama Mia! Except, we totally underestimated how cold it was going to be. Everything was muddy. >< But we got some yummy sweets to cheer us up. I got an 99 Flake [an ice cream cone with a Cadbury Flake inserted in it] and cotton candy. Teehee :)
But seriously, it was freezing. At one point during the night, I couldn't feel my toes. My poor Vans. I don't think my shoes are going to make it back home with me. I'm going to have to chuck at least 2 pairs of shoes. :(
Anyways, the fireworks show was amazing! All of us sang along to the songs and danced around [in attempt to get warm]. Some songs were sad and it was weird to have those songs in the show. =/ Didn't seem to match up. But my gosh, these fireworks were HUGE and waaaaaaay better than Disneyland's firework show. =X
It was absolutely nuts trying to leave the park. There were about 60,000 people who came to see the fireworks show. Now imagine that 60,000 people trying to leave all at the same time. O.O My friends and I formed a chain so we wouldn't get lost in the crowd. I wouldn't want to end up like Simba's dad during a stampede.
All in all, it was great to get out of my flat even though it was kinda weird going out at 6 and it's already pitched dark. Another thing, I wasn't sure if people are celebrating this day because Guy Fawkes failed to burn the House of Lords or because he got caught. I'll look into that. Lol.
