Wow! I can't beleive its been so long since I last updated my blog. Anyhoo, Scotland was AWESOME!!!!!! I especially loved Edinbrough. I stayed with a friend who is studying abroad at the University of Edinbrough (well, she just finished her exams when I arrived, so shes not a student there anymore). Her room mates were all really nice and welcoming. I had a great time there. I went to a castle there, but I didn't go inside. It costs like 10 pounds. Thats 20 bucks! Jess (my friend who lives there) took me to a bunch of Kareoke bars. Kareoke is big in Scotland.
I'm in London now. I love the city, but there are two things that I just HATE! One is the pound (which I previously stated) and the other is my hostel. The people who run it are completely incompotent. I get there, and the guy is like "We're closed". I'm like "What?" "The computer system is down. Check your bags and come back later." So I check my bag in the storage room and take off for a little while. They don't know when it will be up and running. I get back, and the luggage room is closed and won't reopen until the next morning. So I go there in the morning and the guy there won't give me my bag back. I go to reception, and the girl there yells at the guy and he gives it back to me. I don't really want to leave London just yet, but I want to sprint out of this hostel.
I'm also on a quest to see how my family is connected to Winston Churchill, but more on that later.
I also saw the Da Vinci Code today. The book is better.
