The Independence Day Kitten Photoshoot (And Controversy?)

I was going to post this last one to Twitter then realized the kittens had self-segregated and were making some sort of socio-political statement. I thought best they shouldn't start a Twitter Storm at just 7 days old.

Planes, Airtrains and Automoplanes

Recently I had a 3 plane connecting flight, that means I was in 4 different countries in less than 24 hours. Very confusing for your brain, by the way. Thinking you're in one country when you're in another, thinking it's bedtime when it's 11am. Anyhoo, I figure it'd be interesting to show you the difference between various countries from above. So without further Abu...

 San Francisco, USA

Ain't those mountains pretty? They probably have a name but I dunno what it is.

I'm gonna say....the Franny Mounties.

 Frankfurt, Germany.

My first ever time in Germany! And a security guy there thought I was German.

Strange, as all the years I've spent in America, not once did anyone think I was American.

A child? Sure, all the time. (heightist!!)

 London, England.

Over a golf course apparently. No idea which golf course, of course.

I'm gonna say...Nodnol Golf Course.

 Glasgow, Scotland.

Yep, one look at the sky tells you where you are.

And just in case you were still confused about where you are. Lovely Scottish rain lets you know.

Fishy Fish

I've heard tons of Americans, say the following sentence...

"I don't like fish that's too fishy."

And every single time I think...WHAT!

That's like saying "I don't like hotdogs that are too hotdoggy" or "I don't like comedy that's too funny".

Bizarre. Anyway, go on with your day, chaps!

Laura D's Guide to American Holidays

I've been an American resident for more than a year now, and thought it's time I share my expert knowledge of American culture with you all. Hope you enjoy the following facts.

• St Patrick's Day - A day where everyone in America attempts to get more drunk than they have ever been before. Or as we call it in Scotland - Friday. .....and Saturday.
• Memorial Day - The day Americans suddenly remember they have outdoor grills.
• Thanksgiving - The day when everyone in America eats til their belt buckles explode and then argue with family. So I'm yet to find out how it's different from any other day in America...
• Groundhog Day - A day that commemorates the Harold Ramis movie, starring Bill Murray.
• Groundhog Day - A day that commemorates the Harold Ramis movie, starring Bill Murray.
• July 4th - The day that celebrates America becoming independent from England. Or as we call it in Scotland "The next election".
• Groundhog Day - A day that commemorates the Harold Ramis movie, starring Bill Murray.
• Super Bowl Sunday - A day that celebrates commercials. Got it's name from the fact you must eat chicken wings and other goodies from a huge bowl. A SUPER bowl, if you will.
