Mush i de thiol i

To learn about Scotland's culture, I ask millions of questions. I especially love learning Gaelic phrases (but mostly from Irish people who tend to learn at least some in primary school). For instance, “más í de thoil í ” means “please.” (I probably butchered the accents and spelling) it sounds like “mush e de hull e” and, “is a`nm dom,” means, “my name is.” I like learning about the history of Scotland and listening to old men in pubs talking about modern politics (although I don't always understand them). I'm missing out on a lot I'm sure just by being here for such a short time. It's really hard for me to say which parts of a culture I like or dislike most. I don't feel like I have spent enough time here to really tell that.
