Winter Wonderland | Young Rubbish Vlog | Episode 15 ● by Jess
Winter Wonderland is possibly my favourite thing about living in London during Christmas time. We went last year and loved it... but I feel like it gets better and better each year. It is this massive carnival + bavarian winter market that comes to Hyde Park year year. It literally takes 2 hours just to walk through it, much less ride the rides or buy anything. It just feels like this glittering, sparkling, magical funland... and it pretty much brings the inner kid right out of you!

Friendsgiving | Young Rubbish Vlog | Episode 14 ● by Jess
[*Disclaimer* This is a small amount of language in the postscript, although its been bleeped out for some of our younger viewers. Consider yourself sufficiently warned!]
When you're in a foreign country, you sometimes miss the holidays from back home. We got together last week with some of our expat friends from work and we all celebrated Thanksgiving, friends style!
It was so warm and cozy in Michele's flat (thanks again for hosting Michele!!) and it was awesome just eating food with fun people.
Happy Holidays!!

Poppies | Vlog | Episode 13 ● by Jess
[*Please Note* This video is now set to private]
A look at the centennial year of Remembrance of WWI here in in London.
We went to visit the epic poppy ceramic exhibition at the Tower of London. Each poppy represents one of the fallen soldiers in WWI. As a whole, the poppies also represent the blood spilt during the war (the poppies are literally gushing out of the windows).
I love that in the UK there is just this collective memory of WWI... its something that doesn't really exist in the United States, and it is a really moving thing.
If you have yet to see it, please watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWF2JBb1bvM
It is one of the most beautiful and moving things I have seen in awhile.
