B is for Blighty.

This is where I live, and it is home.

I wouldnt say I was particularly nationalistic, but since living in other countries, it has made me think of England, but Britain particularly mostly, as home.

This may have been compounded by the fact that there were several international sporting events that took place while i was away. In the above photo, I am standing in front of the Polish centre of culture and art, (which was donated to them by the Russians, which everyone SEEMS to despise, but it has been noted as one of the most iconic buildings in Poland). There were monuments which depicted each of the nations taking part in Euro 2012.

Nationalism itself is something that I do find as an interesting topic however. People often get caught up saying that it is owned by either the right or left in politics - forgetting that really nationalism itself doesnt belong to one distinct wing.

Anyway back to Blighty. its green, it has tea (hopefully not together, yuck!) theres the queen - she's quite  monumental, it  has a lot of football teams, and a fair few themeparks.

I like it here, especially the holidays. Soon it is to be St George's Day, in 21 days i think. Now many countries have the story of St George, and how he slayed the dragon as tradition - and it Britain it is widely celebrated. You see the flag in the above photo? its called the st george's flag.

The holiday itself is not quite so fun as St Patrick's day, but at least i've got it off work :)
