Будет ' причиной, котор я от России

Hey kiddies!

Yup, another fortnight passes, and another blog goes hungry for information...

Speaking of hungry...

Gahh! Distractions!

See, this is why this is hard for me! I have such limited access to internet back at the staff apartments/camp and when i finally get some time on a computer, i'm distracted by all the pretty colours and webcomics! **cough**cough**

A N Y ways, Things here are going very well actually! Even better now that i finally got paid! I can stop sleeping in a sleeping bag and actually buy some linens for my bed!

So, there is a lot to cover, and i'm hungry, so let's do this in points!

Firstly, What story (Epecially in todays media... but don't get me started about that...) would be complete without some kind of romantic interest? I'm talking, of course, about the yank. Things are going very well indeed over here. We're really having a good time! Today we're hanging out in the city her uni is in.

Now, I know that as far as most people over here think (camp staff excluded), as far as countrys go, there is "America", and "Other". I don't have much of a problem with that, y'know, if they don't wanna travel thats cool. But i thought they might have learned something about the world outside their continant. So i asked some kids some questions during a game we were playing.

I started with things that they might not have known... such as what is the clock on the side of the houses of parliment called? Most people know it's Big Ben right? (Now, please dont say things like "Jamie! You idiot! The clock's not called Big Ben, it's the bell inside! How can you be so dumb?!". It's normally referred to as that so i thought it would be ok. shut up.)

But they didnt know that...

The river that flows through our capitol? They didn't know...
Name of the place where the Queen lives? They didn't know...
Name of the Queen? They didn't know...
Name of the prime minister? They didn't know...

So i thought to myself "Perhaps these are too hard... I'll ask them something easier".

That was a mistake. For no answer is better than the answer i got...

I asked them "What continent is England on?". They answered, after thinking for a few moments... "Russia?"

You can imagine how i felt...

So i asked them, praying they could redeem themselves, "What is the capitol of England?". I should have just cut my losses, as the response was... "England city?"

Then i got desperate...

"Name a fameous person from England" = "Harry Potter!"
"How old am i?" = "Thirty seven?"
"WHAT COUNTRY AM I FROM?" = "New England?"

I gave up then...

Aside from all those kinda things, i'm walking around like i lost a Fiver and found a Tenner! Smiling for no reason! Even though my voice is messed up thanks to an especially loud campfire the other night.

Thats enough now... I fancy some food!

Talk to ya later blogettes.
