Update for 5/12/12



Yesterday we had lunch with 2 MTV editors and their boss, Charlotte. We had lunch in Camden Town and the students learned how English business lunches vary slightly from most US professional meetings. This one lasted 4 hours, 2 of which were spent on the rooftop garden of the MTV-ers favorite pub (the late Amy Winehouse’s former favorite locale.) We then got a quick tour of some of the MTV editing suites. The students got some great questions in and it was, most definitely, and immersive cultural experience!

Thursday was our day to acclimate and acquire basic necessities and today the students get time to be tourists and start collecting general data for their projects.

Tomorrow is our why-did-I-book-it-again?, 10-hour bus tour of Oxford, Salisbury, and Stonehenge. The BSU foam finger will make the journey so hopefully we’ll have some classy photos for CCIM (think “Ball State Invades Stonehenge”).
