Edin-breh

Going to Edinburgh was a super last minute decision that we made. But it was just for a day trip.
The bus ride was about an hour long but mind u, the bus here are wayyyyy more comfortable than the buses back home! It's so clean and EFFICIENT and nice.

Anyway, Edinburgh was having an Art Festival and that was the main reason why we went to Edinburgh in the 1st place. The place that we went was near the famous Edinburgh castle and it was jammed packed with ppl!!

There were humans EVERYwhere and everything was so lively and happy! I was loving every second!

The excited girls and the notsotrilled guys.


Chen Han (behind), u looked scary wei...haha But I love this pic!




Below are all the magnificent buildings. Damn nice lor.... and thank God the weather was purrfect that day =)


I just learned sth new that day. Hmm..ok, I think some of u might have heard of this la but wth, it's sth new to me. =)

When there's a statue of a person on a horse, and if one of the horse's leg is up, that means that the person died due to illness. But if both legs are up, that means he died in a war. And if both legs are down, that means he died a natural death.

oOooO....so that means this fella on the horse died due to some illness la. Interesting....



All the buildings looked the same, I know. But u'll still go like...Oooooo....AhhhhHH....No doubt.

There were also ppl dressing up in costumes while giving out leaflets, promoting their show for that night. And it was interesting to see how these ppl used their 'creativity' to attract others to take their leaflets.


1.Boobies. Always works.


2. Asians. Kwai lous are always curious about us.


3. Human statue - give him some coins and he'll move for u. As u can see, I obviously did not give him any.


4. Desperate Scots.


5. Another grieving leafy human statue. She'll sing for u if u drop her a coin.


6. Weirdos. But looks like it works. I was curious as to what they were doing!



7. Fantastic human statue! I was amazed! Until I realised that spiderman was a doll...-_-"


8. Pweetty lady in the most extravagant dress I have ever seen. And it's actually beautiful!


9. This was really a good show. Both of these gymnast were damn fantastic!! They were also good in entertaining the crowd! And believe it or not, the guy STOOD on the GIRL's shoulders!! And she was bloody scrawny! OMG


10. My personal fav. The headless dude.


Ahh...beautiful place, merry environment, happy people, great weather, lovely company....but sucky painful feet. *sobs
