For our last class, the students had to complete a 'Cultural Observation Sheet' in Edinburgh. Afterwards, I had them meet Tim and I at the Standing Order for dinner and drinks. Afterwards, we went to The Stand for a comedy show. "Dance Monkey Boy, Dance". We couldn't actually take any pictures during the show, which was okay. But I must say, we were in for a surprise! It was a VERY Scottish show - lots of humour based on one's knowledge of some history, celebrities and local icons. But, the kicker was all of the profanity!! OMG, between the F-bombs and C-nts being throw out I could barely concentrate on the deragatory comments being directed at Americans. Let's just say the students got a good dose of culture - it ain't pretty sometimes but its real.
At the Standing Order - Cheap Food and Drinks but a very nice environment! The pub is an old bank and is a popular 'happy hour' hang out for Edinburgh.

We headed out to a few gay bars to go dancing afterwards. It was a Wednesday, so we ultimately had the whole floor to ourselves and boy did we use it!! Good night out.
