Conclusion

This weekend, I'll be going to Scotland with Bill, Sarah, and co. Hopefully I will have some inspiring video to share upon my return.

Moderately amusing? Perhaps. Inspiring? Definitely not.

Great Deal of Adventure

The rest of the adventure will be out soon...

Trailer

This speaks for itself...

France Footage

Hi folks,

So it's been a little while, but for (almost) good reason. I've had some visitors lately (Leo from Germany, and Josh from Spain) and have gone on some adventures that I hope to share with you soon.

I put together the best of the France videos and realized that I didn't record nearly as much as I should. I was probably too distracted by trying to remember how to speak French... It's hard for me. I hope you enjoy what is here anyways.

Stay tuned later this week for a great deal of fun times with Josh!

Blogathon Episode 3: The Sean Show!

So one time we went walking along the Thames at night. This video may not be remotely amusing but I'm putting it up anyways.

It makes me laugh- but really, what doesn't?

For Sarah

Moral of the story: Give Rob challenges to keep him from getting bored.

What does Rob do in London you ask?

This is of course, only a fraction of the many exciting activities that I pursue. Sunday afternoons I spend 3 hours watching my tulips grow and on Wednesday nights I go curling... Or play shuffleboard. Whichever is more boring.

What?! An Update?

It's like return of the jedi. Except with 100% less jedi.

Liverpool Video

Okay! So here is the epic-sized Liverpool video in three parts. It's pretty long, but there are lots of fun moments that you shouldn't miss. Check it out:

Rob Goes to Berlin

Alright, newly edited, here is the video in two parts. Enjoy

Rob Goes West Part 5

This is the final installment of the EPIC adventures of Rob in Bath, Stonehenge, etc. Please feel free to give me feedback or thoughts for future feature videos.



This episode brought to by Baa, Baa, & Black - Attorneys At Law.

Rob Goes West Part 3

The clock in the cathedral at the start of the video is one of the oldest clocks in europe. You can read more about it here.

Rob Goes West Part 2

***With 100% more role-playing pilgrim Matilda.
***Now with extra runningupahilltoanancienttowertotakephotosin50minutesorless.


Here are a few pictures from this part of the journey:



As always, you can check out more of my London photos Here

The best part of this little run was that I still had a good 25 minutes to get food/drink and browse in a music shop before we had to be back at the buses. And I guess technically, the Tor is the hill itself, not the tower. Sorry if anyone was misled by the video.

Rob Goes West Part 1

A site similar to Stonehenge, except that there aren't dozens and dozens of tourists everywhere. AND you can touch/climb on the rocks. You could take one with you if you were super strong. Check out the official site or just google image it. There is a small village right in the middle of the circle. Cool stuff.

Bill's Walks #2 and 3

Rugby or not rugby, that is the question

So here is my lame attempt at taking footage of a rugby match and making it exiciting. Granted, I only had 2 minutes or so of time left on my recorder by this point so I'm working with only a few shots but still... You get the gist of it I think. If you are really interested, try looking on YouTube for other Rugby videos- I bet there are much better ones!

The thing about rugby is that it is kind of like soccer and American football combined. You can't do forward passing, the ball has to actually touch the ground to score, and you don't get to wear padding. The only other thing I can remember is that when they start playing and all the players mash together, that is called the scrum. Yup.



Check out Blackheath's site here.
The official site of the Rugby Football Union

Blackheath won the game and were ranked much lower than the visiting team so it was kind of neat. Although it was a pretty one-sided game, the blue and white team was crushed.


Tomorrow I will be going on another walk with Bill and co. and will hopefully upload photos from today's adventures and tomorrows. I'll have a video of walks 2 and 3 in the next couple days granted my teaching internship doesn't consume all my free time!

Bill's Walk #1

So I did my best with trying to condense a 4.5 hour tour into a <6 minute movie using iMovie. It's not great, but hopefully you can get some enjoyment out of it.

Bill is actually the director of the Ithaca College London Center. He is really a genuine guy and is always willing to sacrifice his own time to help any and all of the students here. Bill is one of the four staff members at ICLC and really is a huge part of the program here. I may be able to get some one on one interviews with the staff here to share with you, I'll keep you posted.

Enjoy.

Video at Last

Due to me not realizing that it would take some time to upload the video, it is a few days old. Hopefully later I can post and tell you all about climbing up the side of Big Ben at 4:37AM... Or not.

Settling In

Alright, so yesterday I was able to locate quinoa, hangers, and a convenient ATM (true story) Success. This morning we had a meeting for folks planning to do work study and tonight we meet with law enforcement people for some more orientation. I'm still only able to access the internet from the London center (and not from the apartment) so posts, etc. aren't as easy to update as I'd like, but hopefully this won't be the case for long.

Yesterday I found a Whole Foods store and was pleased to see a nice variety of quality looseleaf teas available. Clearly, the English take tea a bit more seriously. I do not object.

Video to come later today.
