Eight years of American siege ends.

    ohh and its FRIAR hall...like Friar tuck! I didn't know that. :s
    (people always seem to pronounce it 'fray-ere' hall for some reason- and I never suspected otherwise! haha)

  2. @Smokey_cat: It isn't Friar! It's Frere! I realized my mistake when I opened the blog this morning!

  3. oh, haha.

    Waisay, 'Friar' would still make sense, even though I'm guessing the place is not a monastery

    :p

  5. @Hamza - yes it was, for private events, but it wasn't open to public. It has an amazing mural by Sadequain which is a must see.
