Scotland!

well i can finally announce that I am in Scotland! Most of you already know this because I told you in secret but we were waiting to announce it to the internet because we were surprising everyone who is here.

Sam and I had a very uneventful flight from Zambia to Scotland. Albeit quite long and drawn out. We went from Zambia to Harri- Zimbabwe, from Harri to Nyrobi-Kenya, from Kenya to Amsterdam and from Amsterdam to Glasgow-Scotland. Altogether we were in the air for about 14 hours.

I underestimated the affect that coming from a third world country to a westernized on would have on me. We arrived in Glasgow at six o'clock on the 23rd and were immediately treated to McDonalds....which I am a bit ashamed to say I MISSED SO MUCH! We were siting in the drive through and I had my burger in my hand just taking in a big whiff of the aroma! Funny the things that you miss when you are far away from anything familiar. Coming from the Lusaka Airport to Scotland, the airports got more and more civilized. When we got into the Amsterdam airport, the sight of the shops and resturaunts brought tears to my eyes. Might seem a bit silly to you but I assure you that you would fully understand if you had been away from familiarity for six months.

It has been so amazing to be reunited with some of my classmates.. I would compare it to coming home from a war. We were all swapping battle stories.....

...to be continued.
