Globalisation is:

An American from Northern Minnesota eating Chinese take-away in Dalkeith Scotland while watching a BBC documentary on the effects of driving after smoking weed, and also something about Italian super cars.

I still have until Thursday to finish my 2,000 word paper on globalization. The instructor hasn't sent anyone back their outlines yet so I'm not the only one who hasn't even started yet. At least we finished the group project on Scottishness and Britishness today. Most of the time was spent sidetracked watching you tube videos of Obama swatting a fly. For crying out loud! why is that so much better than Bush dodging a shoe? Apparently the fly thing is the closest to a miracle the modern world will ever come (to quote a scottish newspaper I was reading this afternoon). Now if only he could fix the economy like he said he was going to.

Apparently just about everyone on this trip is planning to get a tatoo for a souvinere. I'd love to get a tattoo but I have this thing about needles and besides, what would I get? Any suggestions would be welcome (what does my lone follower think about some sort of Scottish symbol?) Become a follower and leave a comment.

Enjoy a few more pictures from my Ireland trip.
