There\u2019s an ice rink, ice bar, park rides, games, marshmallow roasting, holiday drinks and food. I went on this amazing ride that went 50 meters above the city with a spectacular view of London. I saw the London Eye and the entire city from above! Ice-skating was enjoyable. I felt like I was a kid again in Massachusetts in the winter ice-skating outside. It was a cool experience. To top it off, I enjoyed some hot cocoa afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, my flat mates and I traveled an hour and a half outside of London to see a rugby game. The stadium was amazing! The game was Ireland vs. England. I enjoyed seeing what a rugby match was like. I was truly immersed into the English culture- rugby is such a big deal here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rugby-225x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16949 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/rugby-225x300-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am going to miss the London nightlife. This weekend, a few friends and I went to a nightclub with fire breathing dancers and snake charmers. This is my favorite club and I have been about five times, but I put my friends on the guest list and they experienced the excitement for the first time. The nightclub also had Christmas trees with lights and snow and a nativity, Christmas stalkings and festivities all in two additional rooms to the main show area. I am very well feeling the Christmas spirit in London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The streets and city of London are decorated to perfection during this special time of year.
