Facts I don't feel obligated to report:
- Every building is beautiful.
- There are obscene numbers of attractive posh young people in London. This fact (Yes, fact. It is obscene.) quickly put to rest my temporary regret that I did not choose to study abroad there, as my self esteem would have lasted about as long as a production of the Book of Mormon by a gay theatre company in Salt Lake City.
- Scotland looks exactly as I had expected it to look, which is to say it is mostly fields of sheep, but the fields themselves are quite lovely, or at least so I thought. While on the train to Edinburgh, I found myself marveling at gently rolling hills of perfect velvety-smooth, brilliantly green grass before realizing that I was looking at a golf course.
Facts I do feel
obligated to report:
- Every backyard I have observed (from train windows) has been identical to the Dursleys' in Harry Potter. I find this to be very satisfying.
- After consulting a number of experts, I now know that it is pronounced “Edin-brra,” not “Edin-burrow” or even “Edin-burra” (two r’s here taken to mean that you roll them just slightly, something I am incapable of doing).
