Went into Cardiff today. Someone keep Maryam out of the shops! heheh. Anyway, Cardiff is a delightful town. Everytime I travel I’m reminded at just how much influence American culture has had abroad. You had to go no further than the Starbucks that had a long line waiting to get to the counter. Made me feel right at home!
Of course we don’t have castles dating back 2,000 years. Tomorrow we head off to London, then to Cork, Ireland. More adventures ahead. Less blogging, too, hope you have a great week!
Oh, and if you complain gas prices are high back in the states, you should travel. Everything here is a lot more expensive than back home. Gas is .90 (pound) per liter, which makes it about $7 a gallon. Whew! The exchange rate is really working against Americans right now, so invite your European neighbors across the pond. Computers and A/V equipment are a lot more expensive here too, which explains a lot why I haven’t seen many Macs here. One Sony plasma screen I was looking at back home is running about twice here what it is back in Washington.
