I might visit Edinburgh someday. Avendesora Send a noteboard - 18/02/2011 12:31:46 PM
it has the highest number of independent/used book shops per capita in Europe or some such. Also, very cool people.


Cities, if I think about them too much, remind me of ant colonies. Plus, I can't breathe in them. So I would never live in one unless I had no other choice.
