Jim, I know that drinking is a big part of a pub but that's not the only part.

Mickey191, "Local Hero" is one of my dad's favorite movies and I've seen several times over. It's a great flick.

O'Transo, we'll be in Edinburgh. Personally my family (Fearn) is a subclan of Ross and we're from the north-eastern part of the country, above Inverness. Yes, this will be my first trip to Europe. Actually it'll be my first trip off the North American continent. I've only been out of the US once when I went to Canada on a family vacation. I'm definately hoping to be able to do some exploring on my own.

As for the "Christian" aspect of the trip here is our goal quoted directly from the introduction letter sent to me by the project director. "This influential campus (University of Edinburgh) of over 50,000 students has very little happening on it in a Christian sense. Our work will be pioneering and our summer will be spent learning and observing what the Lord is doing on the campus. We will be interacting with the students on campus and in the city -- learning from them on how best to serve the campus and to ultimately start a thriving Crusade ministry." So as you see, we are going with the main goal of interacting with people and seeing what's going on. We will no be standing on street corners lambasting everybody as sinners. We also won't be involved in ministery all the time. The team is going to do some fun stuff too.

There. Does that clear some things up?
