I started off the morning going to LuLu's beauty spa to get my eyebrows done. It was the cutest place, very modern and chic with hot pink and black wallpaper, and great sparkling chandeliers! They also offer an amazing 50% student discount.
After that, Kat and I hopped on bus 35 and took it somewhere we had never been before - all the way to the end of the line, in Leith, Edinburgh. I had heard stories of it being a rather dodgie area, but had seen pictures that it was on the water and wanted to check it out anyway. Well, the stories I had heard were right. The bus dropped us off at Ocean Terminal, which is also a large shopping mall (biggest one i've seen here!) so Kat and I had no choice but to pop in to a few stores.
After that, we decided to walk out and hop on a bus we had never taken before, just to see where we would end up. We ended up right near the Edinburgh Playhouse, and as we were just talking about seeing Annie which was coming to town this week, we hopped off the bus to purchase our tickets for tomorrow evening. So exciting!!! The area was great, filled with restaurants, and a club and bar right next door. I am excited to go back tomorrow night! We stopped and had lunch at one of the nearby restaurants called Frankie & Benny's, a New York Italian restaurant. It was very Americanized, but very delicious!
After lunch, Kat and I then went to Brass Monkey for our usual Tuesday 3 o'clock movie. This time, it was only us and three older women, so we picked something girly and watched Breakfast at Tiffany's. After the movie, we went to Frankensteins for the Tuesday free dinner (I had chicken curry & rice..yum!)
THEN THE NIGHT BEGAN! The original plan was to go to Electric Circus for Tuesday night trivia & musical bingo, but unfortunately it was closed for the night for a private party. Instead, we headed to Three Sisters for trivia, and that was a GREAT decision!
We started off the night by knowing the answer to a Facebook pre-posted question, and being the first to give the DJ the answer. Kat won a microphone and star earring/necklace combination set. 
We then played the trivia game, with different categories ranging from True or False to"Name That Talkshow Host" and "Name That Tune". At the "half-time" portion, there was free chicken curry and rice - which was so yummy!
There was also a bonus points portion with a short game of freeze dance. Zach was our representative.
In the end...our team came in last. However, the DJ didn't let it end at just that. In fact, we were awarded with a lime-green plastic children's potty training toilet. But wait - it didn't end there! We also got a round of applause as we exited the pub. Hey, at least we got a prize...
