As most of you probably already know, I am traveling to the UK this summer! Woohoo! Just like last year (see blog link on the left) I will be studying at the University of Cambridge. What am I studying? Mostly stuff that I dread (English Literature). Not that I have anything against Shakespeare, but I did drop one of my English Lit classes 2 semesters ago. XD
My flight leaves this Friday, straight to Heathrow International Airport in London. I'll be staying at Cambridge for the most part but I do get to stay at my relative's place in NW England, specifically in Manchester, my first stop, and over at the Isle of Man. I definitely have a list of places I want to go but I'm still researching - which would probably just end up in deep wanderlust. But some places I did have in mind are the White Cliffs of Dover, Hampshire, Edinburgh, Wales, Stonehenge (wherever it is) on top of the gradoise that is London.
I am excited, to say the least since I've never set foot in any part of Europe (or that side of the world) so it'll be series of firsts. Oh, and did I mention how miserable the US dollar is doing? Although honestly, I don't care because I'm going to have fun. That's the main reason I'm going, next to studying.. of course. Japan is a tough act to follow, but I'm sure UK will not dissapoint!
