I had another great day in my international internship experience at Anglia Ruskin University. First, I had two very productive interviews with high level administrators at the university and got a lot of great information to use for my project. Their transparency about the work they do was very refreshing and made my role as an interview very easy, as it was almost like we were having a conversation, rather than an interview. After this Ryan and I had a great conversation with a staff member at Anglia Ruskin who is from London. She is going to be sending us some great places to go when we go to visit!
Next Ryan and I visited the Forbidden Planet comic book store in Cambridge, they had a fabulous selection for how small the store is. I ended up buying a copy of From Hell by one of my favorite graphic novel authors Alan Moore. The story is about Jack the Ripper and I thought it would be very cool to say I got my copy in England. After this Ryan and I ventured to The Snug, a local pub where we got some great pub food for dinner.
After dinner, I joined Debra and Melissa for yet another walking adventure around Cambridge. There is so much to see in this city, it seems every time we venture out we try to push ourselves farther than any SAHE Intern has gone before! (This year at least). While walking about we stopped by a rooftop bar called The Varsity (it was recommended by some locals). There we managed to snap some fantastic photographs of the city of Cambridge at sundown. I will say the view was simply stunning (see below).
Again I am so excited with the direction of my project and with how much I have been able to do as far as sightseeing is concerned. Soon I will need to go out and get some presents for some loved ones to take back with me. I am excited for what tomorrow brings!
