Hallo Alex! What language do they speak in Haggis Land? I hear it's all packaged up in the accents? A student of mine returning to Zurich after a few days there wanted to know what language they speak; and he was serious!! I'm still laughing. English, right? Thanks for the virtual tour. Best regards, Juan

Edinburgh
Nice, dude! I loved Edinburgh and Scotland in general when I visited my uncle in Glasgow in 2003. Very pretty and so peaceful. Loved the people's accents too. Glad to see you're still the explorer.

American Malonzo
Even though I couldn't be travelling in Bulgaria at the moment, I'm glad my name and Canadian twin are there! For the record, I'm taller than he is and believe I would win an exchange of fisticuffs easily.

Hmmm...
Oh yeah, they were amazing. They're not listed as one of the world's wonders (yet) because they were only discovered accidentally in the 70's. I think that Pit 3 may have been the one that was ransacked by the peasant revolt right after the first emperors death. In any case, when the soldiers get unearthed, they're not usually in great shape because the original roof was made of wood, which has since rotted in the past 2200 years, and they're basically buried in the dirt which has flooded in with the absence of a roof. The dirt actually works to preserve them, but the cave-ins have broken the soldiers.

This is amazing... I had never even heard of the Terra Cotta soldiers before. I'm going to go read some more about it on Wikipedia right now. How come some of them in pit 3 are without heads?

Re: Accents
Rishi and Juan, the accents were definitely a treat, especially with me being so musically inclined (and having had a fair amount of audio training). There is so much variability, and a couple of towns like Fife have an extremely distinct sound. There's almost like no standard, and I with more time, I would have loved to start asking people where they were from to map the accent variation to the town.
