Yep, it sure is. Crikey, never seen so many buildings competing to scrape the sky either. But I reckon that most of the people who read these words actually know more about New York than I do, so I'm not going to bother preaching to the converted among you, and if you haven't been here, then all you have to do is look around this travelblog site, there's bound to be several entries by people who will be writing about all the things that you ought to write about. Getting here wasn't the best, what with the debacle at Heathrow, yet [View Full Entry]

London again. It's a bit like coming home really, it's certainly the closest thing we've had to a home in 2 months anyway. Only the whole place has changed. Just a week earlier we'd left London for our Scottish and Irish experience and it was still very much a city in early spring. We arrive back on the 7th of May to find summer has definitely arrived while we were away, galavanting around the highlands and watching atlantic sunsets. We have some work to do, funnily enough, and this makes it seem even more homely. Because we are more or less [View Full Entry]

So I'm almost off to Europe again. My flight leaves at 10PM tonight. I can't wait! There is good news and bad news concerning the Greece trip. My department gave me the money to go. But I chose to use it towards tuition next semester instead. It was a tough choice, since Greece a Classical wonderland and I am an avid Classicist. But alas, I will make it there one day. I have too many financial constraints as it is and hopefully that Greece money will alleviate them. So here is the game plan so far: I'll be in Madrid for [View Full Entry]

I made it! 30 hours of flying is not so bad! After picking up my cousins at school on Wednesday, I was dropped off at the airport in Singapore. I was sad to say goodbye and to begin the end of my fabulous journey. The Singapore airport was completely empty and just as organized as I had expected. I was heading to my gate and realized while shopping and playing at the apple store that I hadn't yet gone through security. It was so strange-the security is located right at the gate and you can't go through until just before your [View Full Entry]

My first stop was at Princeton University, who had invited me for their Graduate Student conference in the history of biology. Princeton, NJ is a parochial town, where the university is the centre of everything…except the expensive shops that line the plaza. It’s an odd town because of all the well heeled students with Prada bags and ties that belie the university’s snobbery. The poor work in the back, and the full example of the USA’s class divisions are seen in the kitchens which are entirely staffed by blacks and Hispanics. Having said that, the conference itself [View Full Entry]
