Hostels, snoring roomates, and new castle

Oh the comfort of a private bedroom. Today we awake to find ourselves many miles from the comfort of our room in oxford. Rather we are now in the city of new castle in a youth hostel.. We arrived at the hostel at 8 last night, entered our room only to find our two roommates asleep, oops. The beauty of hostels though, is that after walking in on two snoring men from Singapore, you're eager to get out of the building and explore. New castle is very different from any of the cities we've visited thus far. As we were walking around we noticed more night clubs than pubs,and tons of Indian and Italian restaraunts. We persisted on and found a little pub named bodega. We popped in and found ourselves a seat at a table. We just so happened to be there on quiz night. I couldn't understand fifty percent of the questions asked, but maria and I jumped in anyway with a group of older guys who looked like they were struggling. The question I popped in on was " what musical had the song " music of the night". Being the geeks maria and I are, I leaned over to feed them the answer, and was surprised to see they already had Phantom of the Opera written down already. It was funny to see these three scruffy British guys, pint in hand of course, answer a musical theater question correctly. Incidently, the quiz master sounded like Scrooge Mcduck. Does anybody know if Scrooge was from new castle? Anyway, we proceeded to talk to them for a while, and it turns out one of them, jon, is a former tour guide for new castle. He was bubbling with excitement and history last night and was bestowing it upon is in heaps. He's even offered to give us a walking tour tonight if the weather allows. One amazing thing we saw last night are the ancient remains of new castle'soroginal walls. So, it's dumping the rain today but what can you do? We are preparing to hit it hard today. This city is full of free museums and tons of monuments. So off we go!
