Spending the fall in the UK, need ideas.

[Balt]

Just found out this past week that I've been accepted into a program at my school that will allow me to spend the Fall term in the UK (quite possibly interning in the American embassy ).

As such, I need lots of ideas about what to do while I'm there. I've been there twice, but never for longer than a few days. I do plan to pick up a few books on the subject, but I would like some other opinions as well. I'm not sure, but it's likely I won't get off for anything but weekends so no long trips please.

Thanks in advance..

Is Amsterdam located in the UK?

I'm not too great on my geography. But if it is, I would go there, most def!

<< Is Amsterdam located in the UK? >>

Any suggestions from someone who doesn't smoke pot twice a day?





Just kidding.

Pub Crawl.

Also hit up Big Ben and Stonehenge.

Where abouts in the UK? (i've no idea where the embassy is )

Though the most obvious is minendo's pub crawl.

Sorry, I should have specified. I'll be in London.

And the funny thing about hitting pubs is that while I'm in the UK I will turn 21, which will be completely meaningless there but a cause to celebrate here.

Big Ben and Stonehenge sound good, any pubs in particular that anyone can recommend?

Edit: Also, what kind of beer can I expect to find? I don't care much for dark thick beer, and please don't say "guinness"

One with long opening hours.

Other things you could do would be visit a footie match (As long as it's not a Spurs game ), there's also the History and Science museums, both of which are pretty interesting and good fun (Really!).
