While a big part of studying abroad is about immersing yourself in the local culture, sometimes an American tradition makes its way in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The semester is in full swing and even with deadlines looming, last Sunday my friends and I had to make time to watch the Superbowl. One of the local pubs had advertised that they would be playing the game and we couldn\u2019t resist. I wasn\u2019t sure what to expect for Superbowl Sunday in a small Scottish town, especially with the time difference. The game didn’t start until 11:30 pm and went into the early morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But I wasn\u2019t disappointed. The pub was busy and everyone was into the game. <\/span>They even had gameday food like wings and loaded fries.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have to admit that I am not the biggest football fan (neither American nor European football) and the main attraction was Rihanna of course. However, it was a wicked fun night. We had to celebrate arguably one of the most important US holidays and it was especially cool to see such a tradition in another country.<\/span><\/p>\n
