I TOTALLY get what you are saying. As far as religion is concerned, I think you should read the Koran. I am not suggesting it to you just because I am a Muslim, but also because I have found Islam coherent with the worldly teachings as well. For example it says, "And among His signs is the creation of the Heavens and the earth, and of whatever living creatures He has spread forth in both. And He has the power to gather them together whenever He pleases". Chapter 42 Verse 30 -the Holy Quran.
So if you ever have any doubts, you can take out some time and read the Koran. It will also help you with your perspective of Islam in today's world, when the media tends to portray only the negative aspects.
Anyways, have a good day! I look forward to seeing more pictures. Do you have more welsh? :D I love that country! Even though people don't talk about it too much. Italy is beautiful too. I never miss that show "Eye over Italy". Oh, and VOTE! :)

yeah I probably will have more pictures as I am living here for the next 3-4 years. :)

On the topic of Koran, I am a Christian but that said I would like to read the Koran and the Torah to help myself understand the differences (and the Catholic bible which has more books than the Protestant one). Quick question, does the Koran include the Jewish holy book (Torah, like the Christian bible includes *most* of it, omitting few bits for being a bit mystical/fantastical)?

And yep I voted for Obama a few weeks ago :) My vote had to be airmailed.

As Muslims, we are suppose to beleive in Torah and Bible as Holy books sent by God. In Koran, we have passages and stories of earlier prophets such as Moses, Jesus, Abraham, Joseph and Adam. Koran explains the advent of different prophets to different people and how they reacted to most of them. It also includes basic codes of life and what to abstain and what to follow.
They say God is pretty violent when the religious scriptures talk about the "wrath" of God and how He is going to send people to hell for their sins. But Islam states that it is man himself who commits violence and sin and God only punishes you so that you will learn your lesson. God is a very benevolent being. Islam also states that nobody is going to stay in hell forever. Hell is like a hospital where you will get treated (morally in this sense) and leave it and go to heaven, your final adobe.
Anyways, If you are interested, i can give you links in the future.

As far as welsh goes, how are the people (friendly?) and do they speak english too? Anything cultural that stands out? Why did you pick welsh for study? Sorry, i ask a lot of questions. I am a journalist.

Welsh people are friendly here because its a university town and they are used to foreigners, but I've heard that in more rural places they are quite mean to outsiders. All welsh speak english, and only about 30% of welsh people can speak the welsh language (with most of them being in the north, where I am). Its a interesting language, kind of sounds like german and some of the nordic languages. I picked Wales to study because this university was great for my course, and as being part of the UK I get in as cheap as any other part (although since now part of the EU, can goto university cheaply anywhere in Europe, but there is a language barrier as I can only speak English and sub-standard German). Culturally I would say the Welsh are pretty similar to the English, except probably a bit more drinking and less partying... more quiet I guess. I would say much friendlier aswell though once you break the ice.

On the topic of hell, it is something that has interested me alot lately. From what I've understood, hell didn't really exist in the Torah, and seems to be a more new addition which is only lightly touched on in the New Testimate Bible. This could be all wrong but I've been lead to believe that Jews believed that being raised again by God was a blessing for believers, and that there wasn't any harsh fate for unbelievers. There was perhaps a "purgatory" to briefly punish sins, but nothing eternal.

Hmmm, sounds normal. I guess it is like that with every culture that once you break the ice, people start to open up to you. Is welsh located close to Ireland or Scottland? The landscape looks a bit similar. It's interesting that only 30 percent of the population speaks welsh? I wonder why that is..
I wanted to do a study abroad program somewhere in Europe. I really like Italy but it was too expensive. Plus like you said, the language barrier is another reason. It's good that you have the oppurtunity to study anywhere you want in Europe. What is your major? You might have told me before...
I took a course last year, "Women in religion". We went over a lot of religions such as, Islam, Christianity, Judaim, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism. We spent a lot of time on Torah and the Talmud. As far as I know, I think that Jewish people don't believe in the hereafter. I am not sure where they stand about the punishment of sins and the concept of heaven and hell. To be honest, that course turned me into a crazy feminist after I heard all the things that are mentioned in the Talmud (Talmud is an indepth analysis of the laws inscribed in the Torah)about women. Now, I don't know if the teacher was "making it all up" (which I doubt) but what I learned in that class was horrific. All in all, I decided to never take another philosophy course, because most of the people tend to get very agitated if you speak your mind. Maybe it was just that one class but it didn't leave a good imprint on my mind and thus, I am not taking any other religious course. However, I do study different religions through reading books or going to interfaiths and stuff. It's interesting.
