odd library encounters

i finnally have made the tour of all of the university's big libraries. the main library is like i imagined and english academic library would be...and a bit more. the place is incredibly disorganised, there are endless badly lit corridors, with floor to ceiling books (with cob webs up near the ceiling)yhou have to walk up and down ladders and stairs. sometimes a marble statue appears for no reason in the middle of the narrow corridor you want to walk down...it is like a labyrinth of endless corridors of books...it is a bit creepy. the odd thing is, there is wifi access throughout, which seems a bit surprising since otherwise the place appears to have changed little since the 19th century.
but somehow i managed to find the things i was looking for...and then i met gabor for dinner at a pizza place. we sat in the restaurant for nearly 3 hours and the waiter looked like he wanted to kill us. i guess 3 hour meals are not very english. the english at the other tables seemed to want to just eat and run...probably to the pub. i have reached the conclusion that the unique reason these people eat is to help them digest alcohol. i cant see any other purpose. but the pizza was ok, so i guess i cant complain. we had some good laughs.
