Today in the office we had a 30 minute tutorial of teaching american anna how to pronounce this CITY's name. Edinburgh is pronounced EDIN-BRA...CLEARLY.
I have a bad cold and today talking on the phone was embarrassing. A stuffed up American is not as eloquent as a woman from scotland. there is a cafe around the block that many of my colleagues go to, and the owner was born in Palo Alto at Stanford hospital, freakishly small world!?! it's nice to have someone close by who is from my hometown, comforting in some small way.
In other news, things have been a little uneventful in this pretty city. This weekend we may go to Glasgow and check out the shopes and nightlife. We definitely want to explore. The film festival starts tonight and lucky me, I get press passes so I can check out a lot of the films for free! We'll see what movies I get to see.
I miss the sun! :)
