It all feels a bit Surreal...???

Well I have been back on Scottish soil for four days and it has all felt a bit surreal. It must be the change in time zone but traveling home had a strange dreamlike quality. I seemed only to register that I was indeed home in Scotland when I saw my mum at the airport and then got back to the house to...

Leaps and Bounds

It is amazing to think that a little over eight weeks ago I was fretting about what to wear to work (as I am sure most of us; even the boys were doing,) running round the house packing my suitcase and reviewing all the documentation I needed to enter the US and then checking it all over again for good...

Growing in Confidence

Well I am now officially half way through week five. Its so strange to think that 5 weeks ago i was still in Scotland and now I am in the USA having what i am sure will be one of the best experiences of my life.

Chinese takeout, anyone?

I've been in China for 25 days now and yet every day I'm still experiencing something new. Especially the food! I've taken to stopping at a different stall for breakfast every morning during my walk to the shuttle bus. I started out just having a banana and yoghurt in my apartment but now...

Hello, Ally McCoist?

This weekend was interesting - in the same way Celtic have been playing in the US, Rangers have been playing in Australia over the last few weeks. Soccer in Australia isn't as popular as their own Aussie Rules football or rugby so there wasn't a lot of coverage. On Saturday, I went into the city...
