Barbecue Sauce...not Buffalo Sauce!!

I’ve been here for over a month now and people still can’t understand my accent. Let me just explain this. Both my parents are British but I was born in the capital of Austria, Vienna. I lived there until I was 18. Throughout that time, I attended an international school where English was the first language. Hence, I have a pretty weird accent. However, people can easily understand me (I hope so anyway!). There are just certain words that my accent pronounces completely differently. Clearly, one of those words is ‘barbecue’.

I’m not the greatest fan of fast food but I do like the odd McDonalds now and then. Everyone does. I’ve been to McDonalds three times (okay, maybe more) since I arrived here. My favorite meal is chicken nuggets dipped into some lovely barbecue sauce. However, from each of my visits I have come away with something called buffalo sauce, which for me is probably the worst sauce in the world. It is vile. Now, you’d think I would check the insides of the cardboard bag before leaving the drive-thru lane. But I never do. I can be very forgetful. Anyway, I am getting very annoyed with this. It will not happen again as this particular entry into my blog will remind me! That is the plan anyway.

Now, today is probably one of the biggest days of my life. I should tell you that I am probably the biggest Manchester United fan in the world. It is all I care about! In precisely two hours time, my team will be kicking off against the mighty Barcelona in the European Champions League Final in Rome. Believe it or not, I actually got a ticket for this match but there was noway of me getting there. It was definitely possible but it just did not make economical sense (I'm supposed to be the biggest Manchester United fan...what am I saying!?!?).

I can't write anymore as I am too excited. So I am going to stop. Hopefully by 5 o'clock this evening, I'll be the happiest person in New Jersey! C'MON UNITED!!!!
