Wow… what can one say about Reading?
Well, it has lots of shops. Not quaint little shops, but we’re talking ‘The Gap’, TK Maxx (nope, I didn’t mistype, here it’s TK, not TJ Maxx… I have no idea why), various other clothing, electronics, and sundries stores along with, of course, the obligatory restaurants.
It’s also really ugly.
Row houses populate a good deal of what can be seen in Reading. Graffiti abounds and trash litters public areas.

Add in the general gloom of the British weather and it’s quite the depressing little area.Of course, the offices here were way better than ours in Charlotte.
What’s UP with that, anyway? A conspiracy? Are we the red-headed step children or what?
So anyway, Obviously there was nothing to DO in Reading, although I did walk around find a cute little park to take a couple of pictures of. Each night, we went out with various people from Microsoft and talked, ate and drank for several hours until it was basically time for bed. Not exactly what I would have in mind for an exciting trip to Europe, but ah well. There has to be such places in Europe, right? It can all be excitement and history…

Interesting fact here, you can buy Ibuprofrin with Coedine right in the pharmacy… but Dramamine has to have a prescription… er?Too bad I’m allergic to Coedine…
