I have been writing the articles for our schools' newspaper about the games, but because of contractual and libel restrictions, they cannot be reprinted here. If anyone would like copies, feel free to email me. I have continually met new people everyday, and the list continues on the countries from which they journey.
I have stopped eating all forms of cow meat, not for any religious or ideologic purposes, but because Mad Cow Disease has erupted yet again in Europe, and I'm not taking any chances.
I got two shirts and two pair of pants drycleaned, and it cost me 10 pounds. Ridiculous, thats over 14 dollars.
I went to the LSE student's union meeting and was stunned to realize that 'parliamentary procedure' entails throwing crumpled up newspaper at the elected representatives and guest speakers. This meeting is held in an audotorium with a balcony, so that many rugby players have easy access to the stage with there aerodynamic paper balls. The only person who avoids the onslaught of broadsheet is one good looking young lady who receives hoots and hollers instead.
This past weekend I went and saw "A Doll's House," the famous Henrik Ibsen play. It was really well performed and staged, and though I know little about the theater, I am beginning to become more of a fan.
Finally, I wish everyone Happy Holidays, as I am not wholly sure if I will be able to update the site while backpacking. Being away from those I love at holiday time is hardest of all, but hopefully I can join you all in spirit and have some good pictures when I get back.
