Soon you will be able to enjoy summer! :)
Best wishes, Those London Students x
Whilst I was in Vienna I went to one of my friend’s friend’s flats for a birthday party pre-drinking session.
The friend was from a different part of Austria and really wanted us all to try this shot that they drink there. It’s called a “can-opener”.
Basically what you do is take a spoon full of sugar and keep it in your mouth. Then you drink a shot of pure lemon juice and keep that in your mouth. Whilst it’s all in your mouth you shake your head from side to side, shaking everything up. You then take a shot of vodka and keep that in your mouth. Shaking sugar, lemon juice and vodka all together, moving your head side to side.
You then have to swallow the drink without throwing up. It was the weirdest most disgusting thing I’ve ever tried. But great fun to do with a group of people.
What was your worst?
I’m in Cosmopolitan UK magazine this month as one of the students who found fake alcohol.
I managed to find a bottle of Glen’s Vodka for £11.99 (normal price you get from sainsburys!) in a Camden off-license just outside the tube station, on Kentish Town Road, which contained chloroform and methanol.
There’s about 5 off-licenses on that road, so just avoid them if you live nearby. I didn’t even know mine was fake until I got home and smelt it. I only went on a presumption it was fake because it smelt like nail varnish!

At the moment I’m writing about this and what’s coming to mind is the honeycomb sundae at Hawksmoor Guildhall:
But where’s the best place you’ve had dessert in London?

It’s the perfect temperature in London for an ice cream. But wanting something a little bit different after a holiday of non-stop gelato eating in Rome, I wondered if London could offer up the goods.
I couldn’t have been more intrigued by Chin Chin Laboratorists slogan: “Europe’s First Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Parlour” and just had to give it a try.
I’m late to the blogging party on two accounts. Firstly ok, I’ve been busy “reading” during reading week. And by “reading” I mean catching up on sleep and watching too much of Sun, Sea and Suspicious Parents on BBC3. (I seriously regret not going on a “lad’s holiday” to Ayia Napa now.)
Secondly, I am so late to finally recommend one of my favourite new restaurants in London: the infamous Meat Liquor that has a 2 hour queue every night after 6pm. (Yes, seriously, 2 hours at 6pm.)
Washed Out, aka 28 year old Ernest Greene, is an American synth-pop musician who plays music that has been defined in the genre of chillwave. Having just finished a four-month tour, Washed Out played his last show at the notorious gay nightclub, Heaven in Charing Cross. After playing an hour set comprising mostly of songs from his debut album Within and Without, as well as a surprising choice of cover song, Wicked Game by Chris Isaak, I chatted to a worn out Washed Out at 11:55pm about his tour, his new music and his university life.

If you love to bake and enjoy looking at new cookbooks in bookshops, you have probably heard of or come across the Primrose Bakery cookbook. In London you don’t even have to be in a bookshop to find it, they now sell it in Urban Outfitters. Imagine my disappointment to finally try a cupcake from this famous bakery, when after traipsing through the residential side of Primrose Hill, in reality it didn’t live up to the hype.

Being a Bloc Party fan and a Kele fan are two separate things. Whilst you absolutely love Kele and his solo album, there’s a part of you that is praying that a: “for one night only, please welcome my band Bloc Party to the stage” moment happens.
But Bloc Party dreams aside, Kele, who came on dressed as a vicar, put on a really lively show. After what seemed like a lifetime when the unnamed support DJ played a 40-minute set of non-stop noise, Kele’s unusual get up was a joyous break from the sheer boredom of staring at gio-goi trousers for 40 minutes.
