City Center 2.0

WOke up around sixish today, on account of leaving the curtains open last night, and that's about when the sun is up full blast-
actually got OUT of bed closer to ten, though, showered...
chatted with Sae's grantparents (during which time we more or less plan the day.)-
Grandpa shows me a map of cardiff- and on the first page it shows it as a whole, complete with the channel that has england on the other side of it-
"So I suppose if i end up here" (gesturing to england) "then there's something wrong."
to which he replies-
"yes, if you somehow end up over there, i think you'd better call us."

amusement abounds ;3

anyway, then it's off to Cardiff Centre for a few hours.

We visit the museum (the one that's closed on mondays) and..
it's kind of boring, really O-o
i REALLY liked some of the landscape/cityscape art, but otherwise.... pottery is only so exciting. (loved the organ pipes, but didn't get a picture of them.)

ah... yeah, so left there, and went to go search the shops a bit, because kriz has decided we must get MOAR DRAGONS.

shop one does not have them
D:
shop two does.
one dragon aquired.

we go eat, and muse that no subway should EVER have a view of a real castle.
ever.

ah, we go back into the QUeen's Arcade and nom on some ICE CREAMS, then wander a bit farther into the city centre...
talk to some sort of self-proclaimed monk...
visit an arts and crafts fair thing that's got like, three booths along one of the footpaths, which is just silly...
then it's back to the bus.

BUSSSSS.

we bus for awhile, then get off at way the wrong stop.
start walking back to Sae's house...
end up BACKTRACKING.. really, really badly....
quite the adventure, really.
(also, humped zebra crossing right next to a Church of Latter Day Saints)

get back home, chat, eat, dessert....
have a geat, LONG, FUNNY AS HELL conversation with sae, kriz, and Sae's gran, during which we cover a wide variety of topics and a great many observations aremade... excellent time, i think...

and after that...
crude gestures with the assistance of stuffed animals, of course.
what else are we supposed to do with all those dragons?
