July 1-August 5, I will be studying at the University of Edinburgh with 3 day weekends that will allow me to travel around Scotland, England, Ireland and Amsterdam. Thereafter from August 5-15, I will do some more mainland travelling, probably France, Germany, Spain, before heading back home.
The purpose of this thread is twofold.
1. For those of you who live in England, Scotland, Ireland, Amsterdam, Germany, France, Spain, what can I NOT miss in my time there?
2. Who wants to put me up for the night during my travels? :) Or at least hang out. I'm a nice 21 year old college student and I won't murder you. It'd be cool to socialize with some foreign Netphorians.
Thanks for your multitude of replies. Feel free to post in this thread or PM.

depending on when you'll be where i might be back up in glasgow/edinburgh
my mums is at glasgow, where most of my mates (and glasgowkiss/radiofred) are at, my brothers is in edinburgh
if you can let me know in advance when you'll be there (and assuming it's at a weekend) i can be in either city
otherwise im in blackpool, and there's not so much to do here.. although a few folk might be round at mine the weekend of 28-30 august, as the wife is away and me and craig were maybe going to do some recording
shit any netphorian is welcome that weekend at mine

man, i really liked edinburgh. you should hang out with my bf, he could show you York. it's a cool place to visit, and close to edinburgh. but he works all the damn time and is moving mid-july, so you would need to do it early if you want to. even if you don't get to hang with him, visit York. eat a sandwich at the York Hogroast, visit the Minster, go to some good pubs...
are you from houston?

i was there in february. i visited thom for a month, and we spent time in oxford, london, york, edinburgh, the isle of arran, glasgow, and blackpool. :) i also lived in london during the summer of 2000.
i'll be back over there sometime and maybe we can meet up with you and go drinking, and i can keep you from jumping off telephone boxes. haha. i once jumped over a fence and had to have $20,000 worth of surgery and rehabilitation for my knee. i hope your leg is okay. be smarter!!!
