People in Norwich

Yesterday we could see a new side of Norwich. First we saw such strange trades that people here do or did sometimes. They were on the city hall doors. We couldn't identify most of them and were very surprised because between some of them there were other like "hanging men" or "vikinging". Thank God, because we asked some very very kind people who work in that building and they gave us a paper which confirms that not all of them were trade, but historical memorials.

After that we went down into the market. Most of the people in the market didn't like me, perhaps because we tried to ask them strange questions. I asked a couple that ran away quickly as I did. I could frighten two or three more people before I gave up. Some men doing nothing seemed to want me to ask them but they looked absolutly drunk. Then my mates asked the questions and it was a sucess. I wasn't disappointed at all and I tried again. Al last one nice old man answered me such interesting question (how did he pronounce Norwich, if like rich or porridge). We met a man without teeth that made an incredible effort to say Hapiisburgh, Wymondham an Costessey.

As I bought some norfolk blackberries I can say thay the grocer was very kind. The same thing can be said about the sellers in the mustard shop in the Royal arcade.

We went to the castle and didn't talk anymore to anyone until we asked for the Whiffler Theatre, that nobody knew. We had to find it by ourselves but Norwich people really tried to help us.

There were three workers resting and they were asked about the castle mall, how long had it been open, its success and what big "challenge"had it faced recently. They answered all the questions very kindly and I think it wasn't too easy.

As we were very tired we sat in a nice corner pub to drink a coke. Our pubmates seemed to work in offices and I think I remember Pilar liked them but I'm not sure. I can remember she asked them something, where we were or something like that. We went to the bus station and asked in the information point without any problem.

We saw raincoats in a shop near the bus stop, we entered and I was surprised because the shop assistant helped me to find the cheapest options and, asking him about going to London, he put up with us and gave us useful information.

At last I can say people in Norwich iare very kind, agreeable and nice, but perhaps they had got too many people asking for money or strange churches, and it makes them a little evasive.
