International Post-Pub Wanderings

[the_eggwhite]

Well, I was at the pub earlier this evening. This is a normal occurrence for me on a thursday. However, a bunch of us didn't want to just go home and be bored afterwards, so we decided to walk to America.

This may seem unusual, since the pub is in Egham, Surrey, England. Quite near to London, in fact.

[side note | this is not that common in the UK - contrary to popular belief, not all of the UK is near to London.]

But it is not that difficult, as just down the hill is an area of American soil with giant stone brick on it. It's actually the John F Kennedy Memorial, but it's basically a stone brick.

But anyway, we walked there. It would normally have taken about 20 minutes, but it took us about 50 as it was dark and we kept getting sidetracked.

So there you go. We walked to america after going to the pub.

That was indeed a very strange experience. It's a bit like walking through the wardrobe to Narnia but instead of furniture you walk through the stinging nettles, toads and rabbits.

Well, at least we didn't walk through the swampy ditch that I'm sure didn't used to be there. I still think the oddest bit was walking through the woods in pitch darkness, with most of us wearing black so we couldn't even follow each other properly!
