Tonight, Saturday, is a huge party night in Rome. A new Canadian friend and I, however, decide to drink a few beers in the hostel lounge instead of heading out into the rainy weather. A group of four Brits, two guys and two girls, eventually join us. Conversation quickly becomes entertaining; our clashing English accents (maybe even dialects) provide an excellent source for jokes. The Brits constantly say "literally brilliant" or "rubbish" while the Canadian says "aboot" and "eh." I can only imagine how my accent sounds to them.

About Me
- Name: Mike Rainey
- Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States
I like to have fun and laugh... Isn't that unusual? In all honesty, I'm a third-year grad student in computer science. If it weren't the masters thesis deadline this quarter, you would likely find me at Zanies comedy club or Second City on the weekends. Recently, I've started to pick up interest in Jazz, i.e. Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis. I hope to find some decent jazz clubs around the city. You know, the ones without old men wearing white shorts, white sneakers and white socks.
