Sandcastles On The Moon: travel

I found this on facebook, and since I'm incredibly bored, so I'm going to mark all of the things that apply to me.
The 'textbook' definition of a TCK before:"A third culture kid is a person who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside their parents' culture. The third culture kid builds relationships to all the cultures, while not having full ownership in any. Although elements from each culture are assimilated into the third culture kid's life experience, the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of the same background, other TCKs."

i'm back! well, i've been back since friday. and London..was amazing. mainly because I had the eye-opening experience of seeing Wicked. And I had to keep my eyes open. Mainly because we got last minute (rip off tickets) and were sitting in the verry back, surrounded by dutch people. but man! it honestly is one of the best musicals! very well thought out, great characters...maybe I'll write a review about it sometime.

other than wicked, we saw spamalot, which to me, was hillarious. it was uber brittish humored, and since 99% of the audience was british, everyone enjoyed it. my mom wasn't too stoked about it, but i guess she's not too familiar with Monthy Python. oh, and in the end there was a 'always look on the bright side of life' sing-a-long. and ended with a rain of yellow sunshines on the audiance.

other things? we rode the tube..a lot, went to Tate Modern, Tate Britain, went to TopShop, where I spend way too much money..you know..the usual 3-day trip to london :-)

snow in Calais.
