Travel time!
I am going to visit England for a few days. I have always wanted to go there, and now I have the chance to do so. I will be leaving on Aug. 21st, and coming home Aug. 27th.
I spend more time on Facebook than on here, obviously given the lack of posts, and there is a game on there that I really like to play called Be A Tycoon(BAT.) It is a game in which you buy and sell items with fake money, like playing the stock market, but with less risk of bankruptcy.
Anyway, in BAT, you can join groups called cartels. These groups are mainly for socializing and helping each other out in the game. A lot of the cartels have been having cartel get togethers. So, like a lemming, my cartel is doing one too.
It just so happens that most of the members in my cartel (Mutiny Cartel if any of you who read this play the game) live in England, and that is where our meet up is taking place. Since I am the owner of the cartel, it would only make sense that I be there for it.
A couple from my cartel are letting me crash at their place while I am over there, which is really nice of them. One of them has that week off from work, so he will be my tour guide and take me around to places.
The only problem is that it will obviously cost a lot of money. Since I am staying at someone's house, I don't need to rent a hotel room, saving me a lot of money. So, it is costing me $800 for round trip airfare plus spending money. My grandfather is paying for half of the airfare, and has given me some spending money, which is really nice of him. SO to visit England for 5 days, it is costing me $400 plus spending money, which is a sweet deal in my opinion.
I understand I am taking a risk by doing this, seeing as how I will be in another country staying with people I only know through a Facebook app, but I am taking my chances that they aren't axe murderers. I am really excited about the trip, and hope to have a great time.
(main downer about the trip is that England has almost nothing but bitter beer, and I hate bitter beer)
