Shakespeare and sushi

So, tonight my brother & I went to Cambridge to spend some quality time together before he leaves. We decided to mix Japanese culture with the English culture by going to get sushi, then go to one of the shakespeare plays (Twelfth Night) that was showing in the garden of Trinity College. Cambridge is having a shakespeare festival in July & August, which allows people to sit outside and bring blankets, food and wine to one of the many plays being shown all over Cambridge. I do believe that this was one of the rare times that I've actually seen the English have a sense of community. Usually the English keep to themselves and don't really look at you or say hi when you walk past each other, but tonight was a different story. People were sharing blankets with each other, they were talking to complete strangers, and were sitting close to one another. I felt as if I was back in america for a brief moment. It was absolutly wonderful (including the play and the actors/actresses. It was by far one of my favorite nights here!!!! Cheers to Shakespeare and Sushi, two of the best combinations in the world (beside Jesus and Us)!!!!!
