hows everyone doin? everything goin ok ? aol is not sending my mail or at least not telling me they are, so i dunno corporations suck. i forgot what i was gonna write about again.

Its 6:45 or 18:45 if you are here i had no idea they went on military time but they do. it takes a min to get use to. some other things that take a min,
A. currency exchange (always remind yourself a £1 is not $1) a euro is though roughly
B. um people drive on the left side of the street, but there are many one ways, this isnt really hard to remember just dont know which way to look for turning cars.
C. um if someone says "you got a fag?" or "got a light for a fag?" they arent asking about homosexuals. (i knew that before i came, and still i am shocked everytime.)

hmm like i may have said in comments(one of my comments got erased), i went to 5 museums today thats was fun, 3 art, 2 history. I have to go stay at the airport tomorrow night and i dont know when the last bus to the aiport is.

I am gonna run out of money, the english people are rather cheap when giving money. I gave a guy a half can of pringles today. Its weird cuz i probably have enough money to get us both a bed and food for a month, but im trying to stretch that money so that i can get a bed and food for like 2 and a half months. I feel selfish everytime i walk by. um so u can walk around edinburgh, like rather then take a bus (there are 4 bus companies) but your legs will get tired cuz its hill country. Another thing to remember if you ever come here, just cuz its blue sky and sunny, with only a few clouds, doesnt mean its not gonna rain in 2 mins. Also if the people you walk by look, worried, frustrated, or pissed off that is normal. The majority or europeans look that way when walking, I discovered this with pete and zach and some cats while in italy. I think it is like a defense to keep the wind and rain out of their faces. But if i come back and look that way all the time its just cuz i came here. Also they dont get much fruit up here, so bring your own, and pulp free orange juice is "smooth style" with "no bits". I guess thats all for now i will update when i get to amsterdam probably thursday or friday. unless i am really bored tomorrow.
