From Russia (to Scotland to Canada) with Love
Victor Albert, an American Fulbright student from the University of Florida, who is currently at the University of Toronto, discusses his experience as a Fulbright student.
Imagine you are sitting at a fancy dinner. Before the food is served, you get the urge to go to the bathroom. However, the person next to you tells you that you cannot go. Reason being: no one is allowed to get up until a toast to the Colonel-in-Chief is made. This commanding officer happens to be none other than Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This is just one of the rich plethora of lasting traditions that you experience at a Christmas dinner with the 48th Highlanders Regiment of Canada, a Canadian Forces Primary Reserve infantry regiment based in Toronto.
I was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia and moved to the US when I was nine. I now find myself as a Fulbright Student in Canada drumming (as a civilian) in the 48th “Highrs” Pipes and Drums, a Scottish corps complete with bagpipes, kilts, and even leopard skins. The Regiment has a strong relationship with the British Army Highlanders and has served in wars ranging from the Second Boer War in South Africa (where the leopard skins came from) to World War I and Afghanistan.
