The main language in Edinburgh, Scotland, is English, but Scotland has two other traditional languages: Scots and Scottish Gaelic. Fun fact, Scotland has its own special words. My favorite is "wee", which means little! Girls and boys are also referred to as lads and lassies!
The money used in Scotland is called the British pound. One pound has 100 pence (or cents). They have coins of different sizes, as we do in America. My favorite is the way their pounds look; some are blue and purple, and they feel smoother than American dollars. What's your favorite thing to buy when traveling?
In Scotland, a bottle of water usually costs about 1 or 2 British pounds at a shop or supermarket. This is about $1.30 to 2.60 in American dollars. Sometimes water can cost a bit more depending on where you buy it. Did you know that Scotland has delicious-tasting tap water that is safe to drink? So, you can save money and help the environment!
The best meal I had this week was Greek food at a really fancy restaurant. My favorite part was the homemade pita bread with tzatziki sauce. For my meal, I got a yummy Greek salad with olive oil and balsamic glaze, as well as Greek-style chicken. What's your favorite food?
