Saint Liverpool

On monday our teacher came pick us up with mini bus and we (with Prague students) went to Liverpool. I was so tired because of London weekend and all that walking around but we didin't want to miss free opportunity to see Liverpool.
A lot of The Beatles things everywhere. Some candy store has The Beatles picture behind the window made of some kind of Skittles,The Beatles museum, buses, streets, cards etc. You name it, they had it in store.
We visited two cathedrals, old and the modern one. I didin't like the modern that much. Only thing I liked was stories of Saints. They had stories of Saint Therese and her sisters abd family. I love saints and martyrs.
Old cathedral was beautiful but one thing I dont like with every cathedrals here is how all those are so commercialed. They all have some kind of gift shop and Birmingham's also have cafe.
After religion part we got an hour time to go shopping. We went to this street wear shop which had Adventure Time clothes on window. I liked also their male assistant who had rainbow hair mowhak, beard and sang Kings of Leon song.
After that we came back to hostel and spent last night in different room with sexy 20's glitter kitch kinda wallpaper and good internet connection. Now we live again in this small room with bad wifi.

Street's Van Gogh

I found some good steet art pictures from net last week and now I wanted to check those places. We went to see them together because those were just around the neighborhood.
We found this one music club which was painted full graffiti and was so cool and colorful. One street ahead we found other building full of graffitis. After filming more places we were so near city centre that we decided to do some home bringing shoppings before we went to visit our school. I found so cool things for some of my friends. Hihi...
Also found something cool for myself too like this Doctor Who poster from episode where Vincent Van Gogh made a painting of exploding TARDIS. I love Vincent Van Gogh art and I loved how they made him in to Doctor Who. Also I bought hair oil.
In school we booked our London hotel room and took a part in this group drawing thing which we left in middle (stupid people...) and we came back to hostel. First we went to shop and I bought hair bleach.
Evening we've spent while watching Adventure Time.
P.s. tried starbucks for the first time and Im not sold. Little bit overrated I'd say.

Ihmemies Putro ja Uusivirta

Today I decided not to go to school and do some project filming in city. I walked girlsto station and started to wander around. I couldnt film so much because morning was very rainy buti took couple footages. Soon girls called me and we met again in station and started to wander together. Our mission was to find a. Place to getcoffee from without long queue. And b. We wanted to find this one small "mall" where were "alternative" stores and tattoo/piercing places. We found both from same area. Also some people from some kind of students-to-find-interesting-activities-and-jobs place and took us to meet some people from different clubs and schools. It was great because we met a man from graffiti club. He and probably one of his student made our names in graffiti style. Also I told aboutthis documentary project to him and he got excited and said that if I want interview some artists etc. I could mail to him to address from flayer. So I think that it would be great for this street art documentary.
I decided to try what great is with Fiji water and couldn't taste it so is it just because of advertisement?
Today came out two my favorite Finnish artist's albums 1. Olavi Uusivirta - Ikuiset Lapset (my vinyl with signature came and waits me in home till I arrive) and 2. Samuli Putro - Taitekohdassa. 
Do you have some ideas for next post from here?
