Foreign Misadventures

Welcome everyone, to my new blog site. I had initially created this for showcasing some pictures of my travels. But I am considering some sort of weekly entry. A sort of "What I did on my summer vacation" deal, just my experiences of the week. I realize that no one will read it but my parents and even they will become bored, but hey, a little ego massage never hurt anyone :)

Quickie

As I am getting on a train in an hour or so I cannot write so much or that often as I am off to Scotland for the next weekish. On the plus side is when I come back I will have a load of great pics (And perhaps I will finally get around to displaying the rest of the Italy ones).

Also who is having to strange conversation about cats in the comments box of the previous update...are there not chatrooms for your insanity out there?

Very little to update here except...I have found a Bane. Yes that is right, a bane. Now I imagined I had to be someone famous like a...I don't know, Richard the Lion-hearted fighting the bane that was Saladin...does that work? Either way, I mayself have encountered one. As some of you know I am a vegetarian...or at least try to be. But when this bane who shall be known only as Fisher comes around, I inevitably end up getting a steak or hamburger...So all vegetarians beware of this individual and his infectious meaty ways.

That said the hamburger he coaxed me into/forced me against my will to have had a fried egg on top. I know this probably does not sound like a big deal to my English readers but people in Canada will be mortified by this thought. But you know what, it wasn't bad, it didn't add a whole lot to the taste but was just a funky different texture...doubt it will catch on back home, where I have been told, we RUIN our french fries with cheese and gravy...heathens...

I am not sure who I was insulting there...take it as you will. I must depart know for my holiday with the family (As some of you may remember the one from the last time my parents were here and the car...issues...REST ASSURED, Andrew had nothing to do with the booking this time. A nice big gas guzzling, sheep stomping SUV has been attained...luverly).

Well, ok

What...ummm...sure. Hang on. Gillis gets his coat. It should be a laugh. Gillis and the Swede get the metro. Where is it? (10 minutes later) There it is (Only 20 feet from the metro). Legends...sounds alright for a bar. Gillis goes in. Gillis sees piles and piles of Goths. Are you sure we have the right night? When are Chris and Rob getting here? Chris and Rob arrive, pints all around. So when does this special night begin. At 1030. It is 1015. It is now 1030. Most the Goths go on the larger dance for for some earsplitting headbanging tunes. Where do we go? Gillis follows group down to smaller dance floor. Gillis has arrived at...RETRO 80s DANCE NIGHT!!!

Nope don't know this one. Not this one. Not this one either. What, well SORRY, I was only born in 1980, the fartherest back I can remember is New Kids on the Block...Do you think they have New Kids on the Block...ok ok. Room starts to fill up with??? who do you think, Goths, ther only group here. MMMM starting to move a bit, not so bad. Hey I know this one, it was on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Four or five people on the dance floor including my group, except me. What...wait, Gillis stop, what are you doing???
