Scottish Referendum

On September 18th, Scotland will vote on whether or not it wants to separate from the United Kingdom. I've spoken with people who want it to happen and people who do not want it to happen. Recent polls suggest that Scotland will remain part of the Union. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Newspapers

Each night in London, a newspaper is given out for free. I have been getting a copy every night to read. There have been many interesting articles in the local news sections.  Here is a summary of an article that I read.

There are tests being done on buses. The purpose of these tests is to see if the equipment can see bikes behind buses. I think this is a good idea. I have seen a few people riding bikes almost get hit by a bus.

Themes

I plan on checking out countries' literature, history, culture, language, religion, architecture, geography, current events, government, currency, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and any other fun trivia I come across.  My posts will be labeled with these categories so that you may go back and see every post that falls into these different themes. I encourage you to discuss these different topics with your friends, family, and teachers. Feel free to comment on the posts if you have any questions or just want to let me know your thoughts on a certain subject. I believe this blog will be a great resource that I hope you take advantage of.
