August 05, 2003Arrived safely
Hey everyone. I made it safely. I am now in Edinburgh, staying with a friend of Anthony's (or Antony as he says it), Ewan. Ewan and his roomie Phil have been super and we all went out drinking last night for very little money. It's amazing just how little ££ I am spending considering how expensive the UK can be. This whole free place to stay thing rocks. Since I am staying with them and not having to pay for accom, I can afford to take in a few shows at the Fringe Festival. Loads of good stuff and the boys picked out 1-2 that are not to be missed. Oh, had an interesting experience on Air India. THey have THE BEST airline food I have ever eaten. Chicken curry of course, but it was great. Anyway, this old indian lady needed help getting out of the bathroom, so I reached over and helped her out. When she looked at me, she smiled, and asked me something not in English. The woman next to me told me she wanted to know what caste I am from. How weird I thought. She kept pointing at my nosering and then sticking out her tongue, but smiling. I didnt know if I should be insulted or laugh. I smiled and walked away confused.... I'm sure than will happen a lot.

Yeah, that nose ring has that effect on people. ;-)~~ Posted by: Ron on August 5, 2003 12:09 PM=) i think she was referring to the fact that nose rings (for Indians) are a sign of marriage and purity... i think she was poking fun, but kindheartedly. p.s. greetings from the boards! Posted by: nichole on August 5, 2003 12:27 PMAs long as you're not starting off in Scotland with Delhi Belly, then all's good! I'm glad things worked out with Ewan. Where is he taking you for this cheap booze? New place, or one that I might've haunted with him? Can't wait to see what shows you take in, luv! Posted by: Ant on August 5, 2003 05:32 PMWe've been hitting Uluru, a very cheesy but SUPER cheapie student pub. We went to this very "posh" pub/rest the first night I was here. The boys had to get their fruity drinks... I wanted beer. :) Posted by: Claudia on August 6, 2003 11:05 AMDoes Uluru still do the bottle of house wine for £6? Ewan & I polished quite a few of those... So funny that it's the tough ol' Weegie who's there ordering the fruity drinks too! Ewan tough? Did know know another Ewan bc that doesn't sound like this one. He's a bigger bitch than you are Ant! Great guy. Will write more about those boys in a bit.
