Muse, aww my Dad grew up in Edinburgh. I still have family there.....my grandpa has a house in Trinty/Newhaven (on the boarder of both) and one of my aunts and her family live in Portebello. Edinbugh is one of my favourite cities in the world. I did want to go there for university but I thought I knew it too well.
Where abouts are you in Edinburgh?

Myself? Well being from London I have no idea what is worth putting up and what is worth not.

My house is big? Wha? Really? I didn't know that...

Im down by murrayfield. My dad lives in Haddington, this little town half an hour away from the city. Its tiny, but he used to live in this village with only 13 houses. 13!! Now that was boring.

You should go to uni here. It's a smashin place.
"Sometimes we see a cloud that's dragonish,
A vapour sometimes like a bear or lion,
A towered citadel, a pendant rock,
A forked mountain, or blue promontory,
With trees upon't that nod unto the world,And mock our eyes with air.."

Mud, grey clouds, dark greens....

Naw, you should see macedonia. Wild untamed forests and trees that tower above your head dwarfing the chess looking fields around, surrounded by moutains, like, youre inside a gigantic crown of stone. Very amazing.

I have multiple "hometowns"

I live in a small town called Wheeling, Illinois, famous for its restaurants. Here is my High School (I could find a better pic of the town):

The city its closest to is Chicago:

This pic is taken in Grant Park, and the fountain is buckingham fountain, and the dark grey scyscraper in the background is the Sears Tower.

This is my dorm at college, in Southern Illinois University

But here's my real hometown:

The Chederochel (mess hall) on my kibbutz

the greenhouses

The fisheries
