So what do they think about Scots?

Tobias did better second time

Some were better than others

I was challenged to get Germans to tell jokes

I was challenged to conduct Bach in Leipzig

Leipzig

Leipzig is not a particularly beautiful city in terms of architecture, though it does have some wonderful wee bits. It more than makes up for this by the lush green parks and the incredible friendlieness of it's people. I have never met a more laid back friendly town in my life and would recommend going there. More importantly it is cheap and was no problem to keep within a budget of £200. They do seem to have a positive view of Scotland and the town has a whiskey bar, and highland games just outside in September. I didn't manage to meet Ronnie the ginger German piper who frequented the pub I used whilst there, but he doesn't speak a word of English anyway. Never mind - Go to Leipzig

Leipzig

OK here's the thing. I am supposed to be going to Dublin on Monday, but its now Friday, I was away from Sunday through Wednesday and Tuesday through Thursday the week before. I have a Freinge show to write and I'm tired. Fortunately I only paid buttons to go to Dublin, so I'm going to give it a miss and go to Leipzig next Tuesday 26th.

Please send me some challenges to take up whilst in Deutchland.

Paris flight was carbon neutral

I tried to explain to people that Irn Bru was made out of the Eiffel Tower

I tried a bigger stage,,,

I was challenged to draw then sell the Mona Lisa for 1 Euro

I found a statue of Mary Queen of Scots in Jardin du Luxembourg

The moon in Paris was stunning!

and I coincidentally met Scots at airport

Honest meant I handed in 10 euros I forgot to pay a taxi driver

I was challenged to talk to a naked guy

I was challenged to find a local to sing a StJohnstone song

I was challenged to tell a bum joke in the amphitheatre

I was challenged to find a red headed Italian

Launch day!

Challenges for Paris???

I will be off to Cagliari in Sardinia in a couple of days. As well as finding some Scots people have set me the following challenges: Explain rugby's offside rule to an Italian - Judging by their national team very few of them understand the concept Get a local to sing "Walking down the Dunkeld road, to see the Muirton aces" Speak to a naked man in Sardinia Find a red headed Italian Try to get haggis pizza Ask directions for "Scratchin'Ma-Fanny" Tell a bum joke and see if it is true about the sound affects of an amphitheatre Convince a sardinian local to wear a wee wullie orange wig and tammie. Claim you are a descendent of the Stuarts and therefore have come to claim the Sardian throne. Nothing difficult there then.... I think that's enought challenges to be going on with in Sardinia. Can you now start sending me challenges for Paris the following week. I myself have set the task of trying to find out some historical stuff about Scotland's links with France, but I'm sure you will have some additional ideas. Add a comment and let me know.

No way Cagliari

The dead certainty for tracking down Scots in Cagliari that was the British Consulate turns out to be a dead end. Apparently information about Scots in the area is held in a top secret bomb proof cellar. That just makes the challenge a bit more colourful and ostentatious in the execution. I think a safe cracker or a kilt in the main street is what is needed.

Swine flu and beach towels!

OK, so we all know how to make haggis now. If you haven't worked it out go click on www.haggismaking.blogspot.com.

Let's get back to the job of finding Scottish contingent and a ginger Italian in Sardinia.
