My Britonian Holiday
20 of July, 2007
Yes, fellow BZPers. I will be leaving with the Boy Scouts of America on a trip to England on the 26th of this month, July, 2007. The occasion is the 21st World Scout Jamboree in which fourty-thousand other scouts will be attending from all over the world. Indeed, this will not be the first time I set foot in England, as some of you may know as I went there in... um, 2004, but that was only for a handfull of hours and I only say cityscape. Indeed, this time my parents will not be there, only many kids and a few leaders. Ahh, this will be fun.
As time goes on, I will be editing this blog entry with details of my adventures there. I will be gone until the elleventh of August; seven days at Hyde Park outside of London communing and communicating with other scouts in the multicultural conclave, and the reast touring London, England, and neigboring locales. Naturally, I will most certainly have problems talking to a Swahili or Malaysian scout, but for the most part I will be fine. I have experience in German, and am advanced in knowlege of the Latin tounges, notable Spanish, Portugese, Italian, Latin and a bit of other dialects. As a result, I have become my troop's unnificial 'Latin Translator and Communications Expert,' a position I dead as I will become constantly called for to act as translator.
Oh, well, all for now! As you can see, I still have a ways to go before I leave, but those six days will go by quickly.
