CAUTION: hot babes dancing
So this is what the caution wet floor sign says in the hostel i am staying at, i thought it was quite funny so i took a photo to tack up on my wall at home. oh i love people with a sense of humor! so not too much going on today i got up at about 11am so i just squeaked into the kitchen at the hostel for lunch and then i went in search of some buttons as i bought a sweater for work at a charity shop and it has like the ugliest buttons i have ever seen in my life. i am also pretty bored so i am trying to keep myself occupied. i also went to the museum of scotland today, wow rick steves was right, it's a great museum. i also went to the loathian and highlands police museum. wow sounds exciting doesn't it. well it was because there was a business card holder made out of a body snatcher's skin. after the guy was convicted of killing vagrants they hung him and then donated his body to the school of medicine where his skin was removed and then sold on the street for a schilling a square inch. and some guy got a really large piece and had it tanned and turned into his business card holder. oh the greatness of the scots! look at all the things you guys are missing out on by living in other parts of the world. no skin business card cases for you, you have things like maritime museums with ships and stuff, or art museums. so now that i am done rambling i had to report those 2 things before i forgot them. oh yeah and i went to a film yesterday at the film house Kekexili: Mountain Patrol. i want you all to try and say Kekexili out loud. as i had to try and order a ticket to it yesterday. a great documentary about the tibetian antelope being hunted to the brink of extinction for it's wool. gross lots of bloody pelts in this film but an interesting film alright. i also forgot about in the royal museum there was all this cool interactive stuff for children but they had this one on cloning and GM stuff and gave quizzes and took surveys like do you think we should genetically modify bananas to contain vaccinations for people in third world countries, talk about introducing super germs into this world!!! so it opened debate and ideas with in myself about whether or not i believe in cloning or genetically modifying things, so some things to ponder...what do you think? to clone or gm or not? how do you feel about dolly and GM corn? when and where should we stop? craziness. so alls good at saturday afternoon in edinburgh:)
xoxo,
christie
