Final days

Well with only a few hours left till I get my flight back to the UK I'm beginning to wonder what I've done over the past few months. I still feel as though I left my parents at Buchanan St Bus Station only a few days ago - but it wasn't. My first night in London and the flight out I still remember. Singapore, Sydney, New Zealand, Fiji, America and Canada are all still so fresh in my head you'd think I was playing a tape recording through them all trying to bore my head off! I can't believe it in less than 24 hours I'll be British in Britain and arguing to exchange my Scottish leftover notes as real money with the English. I'm still trying to find my way through Vancouver and still trying to get used to Canadian money but no more. September the 6th 2004 I left Glasgow I return on the 18th of June 2005.

Being back in Vancouver city has been quite good. Getting to know my cousins a bit more and being back in family situations is very funny and weird - I'm still not too used to it. I've gotten a lot of my accent back but it reamains to be seen whether I can understand the Scottish (or even more worryingly the Glaswegian) accent as I return to the country. Talking with my cousins who have accents I sometimes don't understand to horrifying consequences can be hilarious especially as I did manage to affect an American accent on some words, have no idea how to pronounce others and sometimes can not be understood by them. Very funny! Overall though it has been great meeting them at last and getting to know them.

So now all that remains to be said is goodbye to the outside world and (ssshhhhh) hello to the British. Lets hope customs let me back ;-)
