“This is Ryan Grenfell from Down Under and he’s exactly one month older than me.”
Ryan went to Edinburgh to meet his new friend, where he took him to the pub and introduced him to Irn-Bru and Buckfast.
The pair were snapped together sharing a pint.
Ryan said: “We went and had a few pints – I had him on the Buckfast and Irn-Bru and he loves it now.”
So far, the Twitter post has gathered close to 35,000 reactions in just two days.
