ready, steady, go

I’ve never really understood blogging. Unless you’re blog has a theme or you’re writing about a specific topic like politics, otherwise, to me, bloggers just like to hear themselves think. However, saying that, two of my friends write blogs and I very much enjoy reading them, but I never do keep up with their entries. So why would someone who feels like a blog is a look at your personal diary be writing a blog? Because I live abroad. My blog will be about my impressions of the UK, and where ever else I may go. I want to emphasis impressions. Even though I’ve lived here for over two years I still notice things, I still question things, I admire things, I hate things and yet I am not sure if or how long it takes someone to truly know a culture. So this blog is for me. May be someday I’ll pass it on, but for now it’s just to record some observations and impressions of life in Edinburgh, in Scotland, in the U.K., abroad.
