Good job you're off to Scotland then, eh? Where all you can find to eat and drink is either found inside of a dead animal, swimming in grease, or is Irn Bru.

i like haggis

then again, as a Chinese Malaysian, I've already eaten the entirety of a pig and a cow, except for the genitals, toes, bones and leather

Hooray traveler's diets.

Haggis and blood pudding is slightly different but similar. I can't stand blood pudding so I will NOT be attempting Haggis.

No thank you

So apparently there is a huge demand for Australian teachers in the UK (no idea why) so I got approved to participate in a program where I get to teach Grade 1 in London for 12 months! I'm super excited, another teacher from my school has done it before and she loved it.

But, what do I need to know about living in London for 12 months? Help.

Bring lots of cash! Or learn to love Pot Noodles. ;)

I've heard it's much more expensive to live than over here :( Eeeep. Thankfully my pay check won't be that bad. But they've warned me that food and other necessities aren't cheap! Gah!

Yeah, I don't know how much it costs to accomodate yourself there to be honest, and whether it evens out in any way, but food and drink etc can be pretty expensive.

I guess you just need to know which places are cheaper and which are more expensive.

On the previous topic:

I had haggis. Nothing wrong with it.
