Last few days of orientation 2#

The last night of orientation Edinburgh had a nice little snow fall, which in the north east of the United States is about nothing, like 3-4 inchs. The next morning it was like the country was under some sort of panic, like they had never seen snow before. Edinburgh is further north then Maine. There was no snow plows, people didnt have snow sholves, it was like we were in the twilight zone. The air port was shut down for about two days most of the streets were to bad to drive on, it was crazy.
But anyways the night it started to snow was the last night of our orientation, the Americans in my group decided to invade sevral of the closer bars which had music. So like twenty of us went to this bar across from our hotel. The bar had a bunch of locals and some returning studients, but mostly over the age of 45 local people. So the DJ was playing all sorts of weird American music that none of us had ever heard of from the 80's (80's music sucks). So my study abroad brethern start to request all the music and we thought that if we requested recent music that the old people would just play along. So we started requesting 1950's and 60's twist music and started to do the twist between the tables, cause the older locals were dancing to their "music" so we could alwell. No one was mad at us they thought we were drunk or something, what ever.
The night ended at about 2am with all American unable to walk a straight line (not like we wanted to anyways). Got a nice snowing photo of the castle but I have no idea how to get it off my phone. I have a good phone camera 5mp, so it is a good pic. If u dont think so (shut up).
