England, nov 12-21

[Swagger]

Hi everyone.

Ill be making a trip over to england in Nov for 9 days, to help get my sister accomodated at her new place with her new baby. While most of my time will be spent with her, and helping her move from london to norwich, I should have a day or two to myself, and Im looking for some advice on what to look for while Im there. What would be some good, exciting solo activities I could pull off over the weekend? Im early 20s, enjoy socializing and meeting people, but I dont tend to fit in at the very high end trendy clubs, although I do like a good time and enjoy dancing.

Traveling solo can be tough, I hear, if you want to party. Are londoners pretty friendly to random americans that come up and talk to them in bars/clubs? I want to have a good time, and to me that means getting to know the locals and partying.

I also want to get in a show while Im over there of my favorite group atm, Pendulum

I can see 4 dates that might do well, but I dont know about traveling to and from norwich to these cities; and Id like to hit up the show that would be the most exciting or in the city with the most to do, of these dates/places, so if anyone has been there, some feedback would be great

I cant find much on them on the web, although I havent had all the time in the world to look; Im taking 18 credits this quarter

This will be my first international trip in 2 years, last place I went to was Japan in 05. I'd consider myself pretty well traveled, but I dont know any english ppl tbh. I was there for 2 days during my last trip to europe 10 yrs ago, but I didnt spend enough time there to really get a feel for the place.

Anyway, this is my first post on this site, I plan on making a few more as I begin to travel more once I graduate here soon.

Thx :D
