Hay Guys!
So I'm back home now.. just doing some unpacking and beginning work on a case study for Advanced International Business - Industrial Relations Stream. Yeah man.
I leave for Bremen Friday evening. I will be checking out the Christmas market there with some great friends. I was in Eindhoven over this past weekend.. after my trip to Amsterdam. Ooohhh I know a bit confusing-- all of this traveling I've been doing.. you never know where I am!! :) hehe... Its great though!
So I will try to type out a bit of what I did in Edinburgh... When I first arrived I was a bit nervous. I spent about a day traveling there all by myself. And when I arrived initially I was supposed to be picked up from the airport. I called my friends, no answer. So i get a TXT back (sigh).. go to your hostel and we'll call u l8r
Have to say at that moment I was a bit freaked out and scared. To make a long story short I had to con my way into a breakfast meeting with my friends the next morning--but from there out it was a lot of fun. My friend's Aunt 'Ellen' was soooo hilarious! A very outgoing and friendly young lady of 69! She was greaT!! A very gracious host, vivacious and fuuuullll of life! She loved to go to the bars, clubbing, meeting with friends, drinking tea and eating crumpets, and of course drinking!! She had a funny accent and sometimes it was hard to understand her.
My friends and I took a tour of the city and learned some amazing things. I could really type up a whole book about all of the interesting stuff..
The cars in Edinburgh are insane! In Groningen, they will always stop for pedestrians or bikers.. like way ahead of time and always let you go first. In edinburgh we got warned that we may get run over. So make sure you hit the crosswalk button and WAIT until it turns green!! hehe.. it was so true!! I couldn't believe it!
We climbed up a pretty tall hill and took some amazing pictures. It was gorgeous and what you would imagine scotland to look like. The walk wasnt easy and we were cold and wet on our walk down. We got some awseome hot chocolate!
Seemed like the girls took extra effort to look beautiful in scotland, they kind of needed it LOL. But unfortunately with so much extra makeup, ridiculous clothes, and crazy hair.. it was just WAY too much. The girls in Groningen are much more naturally beautiful and keep it that way. haha.. so true.
Mmm.. what else...
Well you can check out this video:

Ok a bit about Amsterdam / Eindhoven
I had a GREAT time in Amsterdam!! We went with the ESN - so everything was organized. From our city tour, to our boat tour, to the Heineken brewery! It was great! We even had free time to do some shopping and check out another museum! We also got a chance to party! And it was amazing :) I can't wait to go back and have more time to really check out the city! Also the food was delish!
Eindhoven was fun too. A much smaller city.. we did some shopping, relaxing, eating, chilling, walking.. and got a chance to check out another city in the Netherlands.
So.. I will be posting a video with the pics soon.. and I will also try to post one from Bremen.
The weekend after Bremen I'm going to Den Haag and then probably Dusseldorf Germany. Then I'm not sure where I'm going for Christmas but I will be doing some more traveling..
Anyone buy their plane tix yet!?
WOOHOOOO!!
Much love,
Jaypoo

Ginosebig? Really? OMG! You kill me! How on EARTH do you find time for your studies with all this traveling? Goodness!
It's so awesome that you take the time to keep us all in the loop with video and pictures and your blog. Terribly thoughtful and considerate of you sis. I'm positively GREEEEEN with envy!
Looking forward to the Germany pics and story. Look Mike up, he may be there. Not seriously...I doubt you'd find him anyway. How many Mike Ludwigs do you think are in Germany? About as many Dave Smiths in America I suppose.
Don't believe I'll be flying to Europe for a visit. Sorry. Just don't have the moolah. Your X-mas present is gonna be late too. That sucks and so do the holidays without ya. :C
Miss you sweety! Keep having fun!
