Planes, Trains and Pedestrianism (Part II) | The Underground
https://emilyscruggs.wordpress.com/2010/11/12/planes-trains-and-pedestrianism-part-ii
Enabling you to live vicariously through me…. Planes, Trains and Pedestrianism (Part II). After the sun came up, businesses started to open, and there was evidence that we were not the only living people in Vienna, we were feeling a little better. We toured the Schonbrunn Palace, former residence of Franz Josef and the Hapsburgs, and learned the fascinating history of Austria’s imperial family, which included Marie Antoinette. Is being well hydrated such a crime? We slept in the next day, and were glad t...

Raise Your Glass | The Underground
https://emilyscruggs.wordpress.com/2010/12/17/raise-your-glass
Enabling you to live vicariously through me…. I have roughly 30 hours left in London. There is snow on the ground and the high today was 30 degrees. What does this mean? This weekend is definitely bittersweet. I am going home to my family, my boyfriend, my friends, and Christmas… all of my favorite things combined! While I am sad to leave the amazing city of London, I am already making plans with some of my favorite people who I have not seen in a very long time. Some moments created by this arrangement ...

Enabling you to live vicariously through me…. Places That Make Me Want to Talk Like a Pirate. When I was sitting in my plane seat surrounded by red-haired, freckled, Irish-accent-speaking people on my way to Dublin, excitement and anticipation started growing in me; it was the same excitement I felt when I first saw the Arc De Triomphe and realized. Holy crap, I’m in PARIS. I wished I could talk like them, jig like them, drink like them… but not smell like them. After a mediocre breakfast consisting main...

The Nightmare Before Christmas | The Underground
https://emilyscruggs.wordpress.com/2010/12/09/the-nightmare-before-christmas
Enabling you to live vicariously through me…. The Nightmare Before Christmas. In this situation, I prefer to define success as being alive and safe, and to claim that any hardships or near-death experiences we encountered do not in any way reveal an incapability on our part, as we were confounded by situations beyond our control. Clink, clink, clink. The next day greeted us with snow and ice, which was much more fun than it was the day before, as this time it wasn’t sabotaging our travel. The narrow door...

American Invasion | The Underground
https://emilyscruggs.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/american-invasion
Enabling you to live vicariously through me…. The holiday season is here. How exactly do 20 college students celebrate Thanksgiving in London? Well first, we offer that although immigrants came to America to escape prosecution, it could be seen as expanding the British empire. Eh, eh? 8221;, presumably unsure of exactly what goes into an American Thanksgiving. Indeed we did have mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, bread, green bean casserole, and even pork- thanks to our Cuban flatmates. There we...
