Anna Overseas

7/9/2005

I didn't see anything going on around town today, and I was out and about for at least a few hours in the downtown, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say things seem to be calming down. I did hear that there was a bomb scare in Birmingham, but I haven't heard any of the details, and I'm almost afraid to check online.

As for what I will tentatively call real life, things are going surprisingly well. I'm beginning to get used to the buses here (I have finally ridden on the top of a double decker bus. I don't feel the need to repeat the experience again soon -- they sway), and work is at the point of being tediously boring for most of the night. I know, I quit my last job partly because it was boring, but I'm not nearly so bored during the day. I'm still squeeing to people that there's a Castle! In the City! That I can go to!

Tonight at work there was a wedding, which involved a lot of men in kilts. *grin* Kenny tells me that yes, kilts at weddings are normal here, and that yes, there will be a lot of weddings. Since I just came to Scotland for the boys in kilts (or the sheep), I'm a very content person.

Too bad I haven't been paid.

 mind the gap

A 20-something Canadian who used to teach English in China. There's lots in the archives about my experiences with teaching, with culture shock, and with my adventures in China. Occasionally it meanders into melancholy (part of the culture shock), which must be very dull to read, so you can skip that.

But right now, I'm back in Canada, and kinda determined to do something with the several thousand photos I took, as well as write more about China and other stuff.
