Wales

okay well we made it to wales. i was going to try and come up with ten things to like about wales but i'm not sure i'll make it. so maybe i'll go with ten interesting things. or observations. or something:

1we arrived alive. driving in a car with some kind of maniacal briton who had obviously only just discovered that his car had gears and that highways have lanes

2 it is very green.

3 they have very big slugs. seriously. totally enormous. like canetoads. in a slug form.

4 it is very green.

5 it is the last place i have to be before i get to go home

6 every sign is written in english and welsh. this is neat but must cost a lot in paint (no wonder the economy is stuffed). the bilingual thing is also a bit confusing because i keep thinking that the second line of the sign is an instruction i have to obey: so the sign will say No Overtaking Wyndy Fergles. And so I wonder why the hell wyndy fergles are immune to being overtaken??

7 it has a computer lab (well wales probqbly has lots of computer labs (they certinly have 75 million stairs packed onto this one tiny campus so computer labs may well be 10 a penny; but what i meant was it has a computer lab i can find.

8 um. it isn't on fire.

9 it isn't on a volcano

10 it isn't the titanic.

man that was hard. i am going to go and look at the local village today. so maybe i'll hae more things to say after that.

oh and of course, the staff here have all been very very very sweet. and that ain't nothing.
