When I first saw this, I thought it was a set-up for a movie shoot or something. It seems that all of the bad guys work for the “Money Corporation” in the animated shows I grew up watching. The name isn’t very original, but at least they’re being straight forward.

Derby, UK

52°55.32?N1°28.55?W

• Population - 236,000
• The city has Roman, Saxon and Viking origins.
• Derby and Derbyshire were centers of Britain’s Industrial Revolution. In 1717, Derby was the site of the first water powered silk mill in Britain.
• An industrial boom began in Derby when Rolls-Royce opened a car and aircraft factory in the town in 1907.
• Derby Arboretum was the first public park in the country and is thought to have been one of the inspirations for Central Park in New York.

Ok…sooo maybe this blog as a bad idea. I’m sooo jealous! Derby sounds awesome. It’s adorable and lovely and there’s sooo much to do!!

Well…with Rolls-Royce plc being one of the two biggest employers in the area (the Toyota Motor Corporation is the second) and first water powered silk mill in Britain…hopefully he’ll bring home some awesome goodies!! :)

 

London. Take me there.

As leaders debate ways to reform healthcare, politicians repeatedly tell a worried public that Britain will not turn the National Health Service into an ‘American-style’ private system.

[…]

Britain is now embroiled in a healthcare argument of its own, prompted by a proposed shake-up of the NHS. And the phrase on everyone’s lips is “American-style,” which may not be as catchy as the “death panels” that Palin attributed to socialized medicine but which, over here, inspires pretty much the same kind of terror.

Ask a Briton to describe “American-style” healthcare, and you’ll hear a catalog of horrors that include grossly expensive and unnecessary medical procedures and a privatized system that favors the rich.

Thank you for following this blog! 

Let’s see… Hull is definitely in the UK, almost definitely in England, and… maybe northern England? Yeah, I’m doing this to test and/or expand my Geography knowledge; I’m sure you’d do it, too.

Keep letting us know where you study Geography!

Winter Landscape 1 (by Yitchie)

everything fried. (from)

As some of you know, I am totally obsessed with LONDON, ever since I went last summer. I felt a sort of kinship to the place, and have been wanting to go back ever since. I was hoping to go for a week next March (right before the olympics), but now with my life in such a financial ruin it does not look like it will be happening soon (unless I were to find a sponser to get me over there). I am still going to strive for trying to work over there next year, but for now I will just have to keep those fingers crossed. 

The above photo is an urban billboard for one of my favorite frozen yogurt place located in Soho called SNOG. Pretty much the best frozen yogurt ever (yes, it is up there with Pinkberry)! If you ever go to London or have been then you should check it out!
