Pale skin, binge drinking , and red uni-brows…

I’m in the land of redheads (Scotland) or as they call them here “gingers”. They are a fabulous people who have adapted to the weather. Their pale white skin absorbs all the rays from the one hour of sun that shines down everyday. With the ability to grab all the vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) the gingers have ruled this area of the northern UK by maintaining normal levels of calcium and phosphorous in their blood.

Scotland technically is not a country and is still part of England; some people are jerks and like to bring it up in random conversation. It’s like if you ran into someone who had a hatchet stuck in their face, just let it go as they know its there.

This is a party city and people treat drinking more as a hobby rather than an occasional form of entertainment. Young people aren’t really discouraged from drinking and it’s not uncommon (although illegal) to see people who are 16 getting there booze on in the local pub.

Late at night you get to play hopscotch over the people passed out in front of the frequent drinking establishments. But keep in mind I’ve only been here during festival so maybe during the rest of the year they partake in literature and knit late into the night.
