I didn't participate in any organised sports or games this week, but I enjoyed the opporutnity to swim recreationally at the campus gym to relax and get some activity in.
A big celebration that happened in England this week was Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night, which takes place around November 5.
In short, it commemorates the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, during which Guy Fawkes and a group of others attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Today people mark the occasion by lighting up firworks, bonfires and using sparklers.
On Friday, I saw fireworks lighting up the sky around Norwich and celebrated with my friends by lighting sparklers at 11 pm near our flats. On Saturday, I also attended the Norfolk Firework Festival at the Norfolk Showground, which featured an impressive fireworks display!
