陌生的地方，熟悉的面孔

We weren't moving to Scotland but to Ireland， a mere half-inch away on the map， As a 13-year-old girl in suburban Cleveland who'd swooned over Brigadoon， I was disappointed--until I learned that Ireland， like Scotland， had tartans and mists. I was also happy to learn that it was nicknamed \"The Emerald Isle，\" which gave it a connection to my birthstone， Then， things started looking up.
