Lemonade Deficiency

October 3rd, 2014 vlpaul16

Hello Everyone!

So I have been in Scotland for almost a full month! Can you believe it! I am happy to say that I am absolutely loving it here at St Andrews. We have had surprisingly good weather these past few weeks with almost no rain! I have gotten adjusted to the town pretty well. Thats probably more due to the fact that there are only three main roads here at St Andrews, not my amazing sense of direction (which by the way I don’t have).  Its interesting how I even find walking through the town a new adventure because everything just seems so new. You can defiantly say that the awe of being in Europe for the first time has not worn off. The only thing I will say I have yet to adjust to about living in Scotland is the fact that they do not sell regular lemonade! Can you believe it! Here the only lemonade people ever drink is carbonated lemonade. Some of my  hall mates have never even tasted non-carbonated lemonade. I’m actually considered weird for preferring non-carbonated lemonade. Out of all the things I thought I was going to find different between living in the US and living in Scotland I definitely was not expecting lemonade to be one of them. Despite this unexpected lemonade deficiency I have become obssessed with another drink here sold at a small cafe I discovered. It’s called ‘the ultimate hot chocolate.’ I know what you may be thinking ‘so what its just hot chocolate, what’s the big deal?’ What must be understood is that it is no regular hot chocolate. It is this beautiful combination of whip cream, chocolate pieces, marshmallows, and happiness. I am almost too weary to admit that I have gone back for this amazing concoction five times since I’ve been here…yikes. Defiantly isn’t helping with the budgeting but is so worth it. Well that’s all for now!
