Re: Its a tad early, but what are you doing this Summer hols?Is that fact really so amazing for you?
Sometimes, it seems to me, that at TSR there are half of Russia.
Couple of months ago I PMed one girl and knew... that she was from the next district of my one, the district of Moscow Oblast. -

Re: Its a tad early, but what are you doing this Summer hols?I'm going to be freaking out till August so I know if I can get into uni, if I do get my ABB then I'll be happy and eat food and watch stuff and sleep all day.. if I don't get ABB I will be sad and eat food and watch stuff and sleep all day ;~;
I guess it also depends on what the weather will be like, maybe go to a beach? -

Re: Its a tad early, but what are you doing this Summer hols?Haha, my bad.. that's in Romania, right? What does Burcharest have to offer then?
Though one of the main reasons I'm planning not to go further East is cause I want to go from southern Croatia to Italy, so heading in the opposite direction really!
Ooh right, I've heard so many good things about Eastern Europe.. and the fact that it's cheap and fun just makes it even better! Glad you enjoyed! Ljubljana is actually the city I'm looking forward most to visiting, it looks like a stunning little place.. heard that not much english is spoken there though :/ And thanks for the recommendation, will definitely look up Bled(Original post by meow444)
Ah well I only went to Slovenia and Croatia, but they were awesome (I went to a few Western European countries too but they were nowhere near as much fun/as cool/as cheap!). Ljubljana is such a great city. It's pretty small but I really liked it. If you have time, while you're in Slovenia try and go to Bled, it's a day trip from Ljubljana and it's beautiful.
Have fun

Re: Its a tad early, but what are you doing this Summer hols?Well I have something to do this summer(Original post by Bête)
1. Play Guild Wars 2, Diablo III, Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, Batman Arkham City, Assassin's Creed Revelations, God of War HD, Street Fighter X Tekken, Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 (seriously), The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (seriously) and The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword...
2. Read as many books & articles (yeah, I do read papers for fun - problem?) as I can. Too many to list.
3. Learn to cook properly.
4. Run/jog/walk daily.
5. Lift weights 3-4 times a week.
6. Watch all episodes of Gundam Wing, One Piece, Deathnote, Cowboy Bepop, Berserk, Trigun, Full Metal Alchemist...
7. Finish reading 300 (yeah I haven't read it before - problem?), Habibi, Batman: The Killing Joke, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Punisher MAX.
I doubt I'll do half of them. 3 months is not enough but I will continue after the summer in a slower pace (due to uni) seriously though you made my holiday plan I need to finish all those games I bought and catch up on some anime, I have a stack of books to read and I have to finish off writing my draft of my story!!!!

Re: Its a tad early, but what are you doing this Summer hols?Ehe... I just did my job by promoting my homeland.(Original post by sophiemay20)
Haha, my bad.. that's in Romania, right? What does Burcharest have to offer then?
Aside from the historical centre with old buldings with tens of Irish pubs there and Casa Poporului (a humongous administrative buliding), nothing of interest.
What you should really visit if you ever come to Romania are Sibiu and Brasov, two medieval cities with great places to visit and lots to do. -

Re: Its a tad early, but what are you doing this Summer hols?Graduating (hopefully anyway!)
INTERRAILING!!!! (from Berlin down to Rome, and then possibly a flight to one of the Spanish islands)
Dossing about/learning French/tutoring students/learning to drive
Family holiday to Las Vegas and Arizona babyyyy!
Then I have to figure out what I'm doing all of next year until I (again, this is hopefully) get a PhD offer for 2013. So much exciting stuff happening! Now just to get these sodding exams out of the way... -
