And where am *I* from?

Since Helen posted clues as to where she is from, I thought I would join in. Here are my hints-

1996 Olympics
Centennial Park
Gone with the Wind ("Autant en emporte le vent")
The *other* side of the Atlantic.

Do you have any ideas? Be as specific as you can when you guess.

Hogmanay in Edinburgh

Hogmanay is otherwise known as the 31st of December or New Years Eve in England. For the past 10 years the city of Edinburgh has organised a huge street party with people from all over the planet. There are live bands, fireworks and a brilliant atmoshphere. If you are looking for a special New Year souvenir, Edinburgh is the place to go. Be quick though, as there thousands of people doing the same thing. For more information take a look at www.edinburghshogmanay.org/whatson/

Here are some clues about where I come from: the thistle; St Andrew's flag, bagpipes, haggis, and Nessie. There are also loads of different whiskies. What do you think?

The Pilot - A Hollywood Christmas

Alas, the Christmas spirit is in the air. All our fellow (north-) americans can feel it!

Today in the Los Angeles Times - The Hollywood Christmas parade made the Headlines.

To the left, The flag team (a group of high school student-dancers) from Petal High School performs in Sunday's Hollywood Christmas Parade. Behind the dancers, The Mann Chinese Theater, a symbol of Hollywood.

To the right, A Marilyn Monroe impersonator from Universal Studios waves to the crowd. Marilyn - what beauty she was. Actually, she still is.

I wish I was in Hollywood.

I actually think I have met this impersonator before.

Something else, 'tis the season to be jolly, even in traffic!

Here is a look of the City of Angels. Christmas 2005.
