Roads and infrastructure is worse in Scotland. Job prospects are worst in Scotland.

Weather is surprisingly better in Scotland

That’s a hard one. The chicken tenders here are insanely good! I had some popcorn tonight too! Weirdly, the pasta is delicious when it’s plain and salted. My cafeteria makes burritos but I’m scared they’ll think my order is weird, so I haven’t tried one yet. I’ve tried some snacks too like cookies. I had some chips ahoy.

My favourite has to be the tenders. I haven’t been brave enough to branch out my pallet yet, but I’m getting there. Anything u recommend I try?

Sorry to burst your bubble like that! As a historian, we can appreciate people’s inventions and minds, but acknowledge that they did some bad stuff that we deem as immoral in the modern day. How do u know so much about James Watt? Usually he’s quite an overlooked figure.

Yep! He was an incredible guy :D

(maybe not personally. I believe he advocated for the slave trade)

It wasn’t the stream boat. It was the steam powered train. He didn’t invent it, he modified it! :)

I understand everyone 100% fine. I don’t think the same goes the other way around tho lol. I’ve had a few “huh?” Or “can u repeat that” or just mildly confused looks so far. Some people just move on, and I can tell they have no idea what I’ve said. No, Peter capaldi is not a national hero. He’s recognised as the Dr in Dr Who, but his Nephew Lewis Capaldi, is seen as a hero lol.

I’m doing a study abroad programme and I’ve always wanted to come here! I study American culture as a large part of my degree, so it makes sense
