we got off the train in edinburgh and got to our hostel were we met 4 canadians who went to trent and were on their spring break and were doing a super fast tour of the UK... we went on a ghost walk with them (which was super freaky.. they talked about the history of the town, all the ghosts they have there and they took us through a cemetary..) we went out to the bar with them that night and had a wicked time. in edinburgh, you had to show ID at every bar.. i dont even know what the drinking age is there but you had to show your ID anyways.. well, Maria hadn't brought any with her.. so, as a joke, after i had shown the bouncer my ID, i handed it over to Maria right in front of him. i was expecting the bouncer to laugh at us and then tell maria to get her ID.. but, he didnt.. he didnt even notice me give it to her (even though we were standing RIGHT in front of him) and he thought the ID was maria and let her in. It was ridiculous.
we stayed in edinburgh for 3 nights.. this was my favorite city for sure. everyone was so super nice and it was such a student town (kind of like london..) and there were always tons of young people around and the night life was amazing. we bar hopped like crazy.. one night Maria and I went to 5 different bars. It was great.. and we'd meet cool people along the way and then we'd change bars. this one bar we went to was called espionage and we went there the second night and then again on the third night and it was great. there were about 6 different levels and it was built into a hill so you went in at the bottom of the hill and at the end of the night you exited at the top of the hill, on level 6.. so, each level was a different type of atmosphere.. they had a club level, a chill level, a pub level and others.. it was great..
on the second day, we went on a bus tour of edinburgh which was really cool.. we got to see the castle, some old buildings, some museums (were Dolly was cloned..) the castle in edinburgh is the main thing there and its in the center of the town on this huge hill.. its odd because the rest of the city is pretty flat except for this huge hilll with the castle on it..

when i was seventeen we went to a pub in guelph. the bouncer asked for my id and i gave him Justin Glovers, the id i was using at the time; it said i was 21. he didn't believe it was me. after having asked my what my zodiac sign was (which i didn't know) he got me to do my signature. i signed it Justin Murray ...
... the hell of it is i realized while finishing the tail of the Y in Murray and my futile attempts to salvage the signature went up in a cloud of smoke and scribbles. he looked at what i had written, eyed me suspiciously and tossed my card back in my face.
"don't try that again"
... and he let me in. Colin, Tom and i went on stage shortly after and butchered the crowd with our version of copperhead road on karioke. we were escorted out soon after.
