Ohh England :)

Last night I was out with some friends at a birthday party and I met 5 girls from England who are part of the study abroad program. After talking with them for hours I thought I would blog about it because it was a lot of fun. We talked about language and how it's different, the drinking age of course ;), and many other things. One thing specifically is the idea of Kings and Queens. We talked about how it stays in the royal family and I asked there opinion of the Queen. They had mixed reviews about it and one said she was selfish and the other said she was a very strong woman. My friend then asked a very interesting question; what did you think about the Princess Diana thing? Was it a conspiracy and what do you think? This reminded me of when Princess Diana died and how it was all over the news and it became such a huge part of our lives even though it was an internal problem in England. They didn't say much about the conspiracy or what not but we chatted about the gossip that had spread because of the media being everywhere. Some said she was pregnant with that other mans child and some say it was intentional. I also remember watching on the TV a computer generated re-enactment of the crash and it showed that if she was wearing her seat belt she would have survived the crash. Who knows what the truth is now that she is gone, but I think that even years down the road this death will still be talked about. It hit the heart of millions and continues to impact people today.
