Right - so the environment. There is one little issue that i would like to drop in here that relates to the environment and also ties in nicely with my traveling. It is the cultural differences to rubbish. I was talking with my Brazilian friend Andii a little while ago about why there is so much rubbish on the ground, and she said that people put it there because they think that it helps to employ people to pick it up. Even as a way of justifying it to yourself i thought it was a load of bollocks and i seriously doubted anyone would actually think that. Anyway i was out one night with a group of people and a British friend who i had not known all that long dropped a piece of plastic on the ground, and without thinking i said - oh you better pick that up mate, and he gave the reasoning that he is helping to employ people by dropping it on the ground, and he wasn't even joking! Not cool at all...
What was cool though was my recent trip to York with some International pals - I'll throw some pics up as soon as i can. The town itself is close to 2000 years old and it feels like you are stepping back in time when you are there - except for the subway or starbucks shops which stand out like a hair on your toothbrush.
