Around the world in '10 blogs
October 8, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Welcome back to our abroad blog (=abrog) feature, Gentlemen, Scholars and Study Abroggers, in which we showcase one transatlantic blog each week. On the menu this week is Rachel Knight Squire's blog, Squiring Around London.
Rachel Knight Squire is spending the semester in London, and doing an admirable job of translating U.K. culture into West Philadelphia terms. For example:
Goldsmith's is another London university that Penn kids can go to - it's a little farther south of the city (like a 45 min bus ride from us at UCL) but has its own neighborhood charm going on. Think Market Street between 40th and 43rd, without the liquor stores and with better architecture.She's also traipsed around the rest of the continent a fair bit, having visited Budapest, Prague and Istanbul so far. But be careful--as for the cardinal sins of abrogs, we noticed a dearth of October updates, plus an obligatory link to a Kodak gallery. When will you abroggers learn that we are insanely jealous that you are in Europe while we're wasting away at Penn, and thus will take any excuse, not matter how low, to make fun of you? Ahem. Sorry for that little outburst. Keep on bloggin', juniors!
