i have asked my friend Laura (from scotland) about thinks you should know. 1) They don't have ranch dressing, or italian. 2) the word "pants" means underwear, the word "trousers" means pants. 3) if you give someone a peace sign with your hand backwards, like, the palm facing your body, that means "I will kill you" and could get you in a bar fight. 4) everything comes with a deep-fried option.

i must make the following amendments to my behavior:

1. stop saying "i hate wearing pants" (which in US is true... man do i hate pants)

2. NO MORE PEACE OUT!!! i don't want to die. i heard in the scottish national game is like throwing logs.i would get my ass/whole body/forest kicked. for serious.


... and a note on the "deep fried option" - a friend in my physics class told me that glasgow has the highest heart attack rate in the world. i went to scotland and all i got was this freakin triple bypass...

They have tea and they have ice in the UK, but you have to ask the ice, otherwise you get about 2 cubes (small ones at that!)
