Brighton

Sara reporting!

On Sunday I went on another tour to Brighton. It's a lovely sea-side town with a classic pier and delicious food! I tried their famous doughnuts, which were absolutely delicious, and of course had to sample a bit of their fish and chips! It was the best yet! So fresh and tender, you couldn't ask for better!

It was terribly cold, however. This was especially true when we were next to the sea. But with a view like that, I dealt with the cold. :)


Aside from the visit to the pebbled beach, we also visited the Royal Pavilion. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed inside so I don't have any pictures to show, except one of the exterior:


The Pavilion was an interesting experience. It was built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent to 19th century India. It also incorporated a very Oriental style inside. The rooms were very busy and, I personally felt, a little cheesy. Some of the interior decorations, the dining room and music room in particular, were fascinating and breath taking, but the strange mix of Indo-Saracenic, Oriental, Gothic and Victorian styles were a bit confusing and hard to grasp.

I enjoyed my time in Brighton and would love to go back with Blake once it's a bit warmer. It's very different from London and has a very bohemian vibe to it. There were so many strange and fantastic boutiques and stores, I could have stayed all day just window shopping!


In news unrelated to Brighton, my internship has been keeping me busy the past couple of days! I was offered the Sound Designer position for their current afternoon show, which is running this week! It opens tomorrow, and I'll be running the board for each performance. I'm really lucky and grateful for this opportunity, and I look forward to potentially designing more shows while here in London! :)

Until next time~! <3
