Background: Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to bickering over the peace process.

The backpacks are packed, we've even checked in for our flight to Singapore online! It's a bit weird, it's still not really real but here we go anyway. First thing tomorrow morning Mike's Mum & Dad are coming down to take us to the airport (mine are in New Zealand, I don't just have lazy parents) [View Full Entry]

Well 105 days till i leave the UK and head out on the road/air/sea and anything else transport runs on/in or through..........lol. Well i managed to find the travel clinic on Wednesday and left £45 worse off and a saw arm in tow.....lmao, as im traveling so widely it was suggested and not advised as such to possibly have the rabies injection. Well its £45 per injection and three are needed and it does not prevent rabies and it only buys you time to the hospital, but then when you are the is no cure for rabies...........so it seems pretty pointless.
