I had the craziest experience since I have arrived in the UK.

I was told more than once "Don't go to a Scottish football game alone!"
Apparently, the crowds are horribly rowdy and a little crazy.
So, I went. Cautiously, mind you.
I am not quite sure how it happened, but I befriended a Lord from the House of Lords in the stands
and I spent halftime in the Executive Suite sitting at a table of VIP guests.
In fact, I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting and chatting with quite the group of men.
One sponsors football teams in South Africa, another was the captain of Sunderland when they won the FA cup, and another is basically a multi-millionaire real estate tycoon
(but you would not have guessed it, he being so humble).
I had a wonderful time laughing, talking, and throwing snarky remarks back and forth with them.
They were quite fascinated with this American who decided to travel the UK alone for a month.

By the end of the evening (after the game we went to a few pubs where I drank Sprite)
I heard many things like,
I heard many things like,
"If it doesn't work out with your husband..." and "I could fall in love with this girl".
All jokes aside, the men were complete gentlemen and we simply had fun making new friends.
And isn't that what life is about?

You could write a book about your trip alone! You seems like you have had the most surreal time!
I love it!! And I agree with what Spangle said...interestingly enough a friend of mine did a semester abroad in London, met a Lord and is now dating him. He's here for the next couple weeks and just the nicest fellow.

Life is definitely all about taking risks and exploring the world. I'm so glad you got to experience this -- and in such a fantastic way too!
You've had the best stories! I'm so curious to hear what Mr. Branflake thinks of all your adventures!
I think at times we just listen too much and assume things. Glad you had fun :)
Hahaha, that is so cool :)
Sounds like a lovely trip!

First, may I say that you are the sort of person that 'things happen to', as I like to say. Second, I can't help but wonder what Chris' reaction to these posts are. Poor guy!
Ah, this seriously sounds like the most amazing adventure, Tiffany! I love that you are meeting such incredible people during your time abroad. :)
You are having the time of your life over there! Apparently, the scottish men adore you! xo
What a fun experience. You just won them over with your charms, I bet. =) I traveled half way around the world alone, I met all sorts of people at the airport and on the plane. I've never vacationed somewhere alone though, I usually meet my friends who live else where.
lol! they were all crazy for you! what a FUN PLACE TO VISIT! although i am doubtful that i could charm all of the men there like you did!!!! lol
