All the pics have been resized, but if they are too page-bendy, let me know and I'll try and fix that.

Pretty much, yeah. You walk around through all these amazingly complex bits of architecture, and boogle at the thought that people have had to build them by hand over hundreds of years. And everything is so close and packed in. It's so completely different from home, I don't think that people who grew up in Europe can ever understand how incredible it is to walk through those streets (even the ones packed full of tourists and mechandise).

As a random side note, it amused me everytime one of the French/English dismissed something as 'modern' ('Oh, that causeway, it's modern, it's only been here for a 250 years or so. Pft'). I mean, that's the entire time our country has existed!

lol, that would be pretty amusing! I find it hard to believe something that old could be dismissed as new, cause anything we have that old is heritage listed, lol!! I guess it's just a completely different mindset depending wher eyou grow up and what you're used to. The very idea of having a castle/big cathedral church thing around form the middle ages or whenevr kind of boggles my mind.

What's fun is walking down the street: Office building, Office building, Internationally famous landmark, Office building... just like it landed there by mistake or something, and if everyone ignores it it will go back to where it belongs :)
