Glasgow- the beginning.

"Can a four year old drive here?!".. I ask, as the little boy parks his honda and gets out..  His mother fair and blonde as blonde can be jumps out of the passenger side. Blinking- I just stare in disbelief for a second as my brain slowly works out that cars drive on the OTHER side of the road. and even though the silver honda came down the one way and parked on the familiar and correct side of the road..  the steering wheel was in fact on the mother's side. Also catching me by surprise are the cars that are magically driving themselves. I look in the window and there is only someone in the "passenger side". You'd think this would be an easy thing to get used to- the scottish driving on the wrong side- but it really gets ya!

Also, I feel like this may be my last post... the next one will be a message saying " Bracken has been in an unfortunate accident".....R.I.P..... "She was standing on the sidewalk leaned forward a little to look for cars and was beheaded by the Nascar- bus drivers.".... " had she only crossed a little sooner a  hot rod sized-toyota may have hit her straight on and only injured her.." .."to be so lucky..." 

But seriously there is no such thing as
 1) J-walking- nope! if you can run fast now is as good as time as ever to cross the street. Im sorry but granny over estimated her quick jog .. may she rest in peace. 
2) Pedestrians have the right of way-  Bahaha.. hah. thats funny.  it is true if you are on your way to heaven. 
3) a nice slow stroll- YES! this one can exist.. You need to take it to that sketchy dark alley though. there is no room for slow walkers on the main street. your heels will be stepped on, bruised, maybe broken?!
4) The nice countdown timer at intersections- nope . now you can walk/ now you cant ***vrooooom***

these are just some of the things I've learned so far. :) 

see ya later bloggers!!
