Excuse me but your car is parked on my face…

This city (Edinburgh) is a dangerous one if you’re on foot. Like most of Europe there is no pedestrian first laws so navigating across the street with out a cross walk is like playing a game of froger. Even the cross walks are timed so that only the fast will survive, when you see the glowing incredible hulk (walk symbol) start running. Keep in mind it probably wouldn’t hurt as much getting hit by one of these tiny European cars.

I think if I was a driver here I would appreciate the efficiency and the feeling of power that the street is yours and anybody stepping onto it is fodder. But now with out the comforts of an automobile I feel like a peasant jumping out of the way as the king comes speeding past in his carriage.

They have a show here called “Lady Boys of Bangkok” which is a cabaret act of Asian transvestites. It’s a huge traveling production that consists of around a dozen tractor trailer units and the lineups to get in are around the block. The down side of having this show is that you cant flirt with any Asian looking girls around the city unless you’re a gambler and don’t mind waking up to a San Francisco sword fight.

So with Asians of the menu I’m down to locals, as I have troubles with accents and can’t figure out if some one is from Eastern Europe or just autistic.
