Was dating a Scottish chick when I was over there for 2 years studying. Met her through one of the lads that lived with me in the living arrangement I had.
Her accent was the hook, and you better believe I bit the bait.
It was well worth it. Had a great relationship, but when that 2 year period of study was up, I was rudely awoken to the reality that is "I'm not from here", and I had to come back. Kept in contact for a bit, but I spaghetti'd online, and despite the fact that I'm now dating another girl, I keep thinking about that time.
