5 cups of tea

I reached a new record today...i drank 5 cups of tea! oh the british influence is so strong in scotland it's a crack up! i'm backing off though, i think 2-3 per day is more appropriate - i guess i got a little carried away and every time someone offered i accepted! haha good thing it's just tea that they're pushing :)

there are a few things i've had to overcome to live successfully in scotland...
1) lightswitches are never where you think they'll be
2) riding as a passenger in the front on the left side of the car is tricky! not too mention the roads are windy and intersections make no sense to my 'western mind'
3) the trash can is called the 'bin'. children judge you when you forget this simple fact!

it's not all Scottish fun and games! there's a lot to wrap my mind around before arriving in Liberia. i've been absorbing much information and learning/scheming more and more about programming possibilities for AYDAP as we work toward the peace festival in february.
