scotland

off to UK this sept with joanne. erm... scotland and england to be specific. 7days of roaming in scotland came to an end this morning, currently we are on e train bound for london, should be reaching in about 1hr's time. so probably before i start my london stay, let me blog about my feel on e scottish-stay!


ive enjoyed many exciting and memorable moments during my short stay in scotland. we met this guy, ross hutton, who' actually our guide for e north-island domestic land tour. he was a very interesting guy but kind of living a weird lifetsyle, haha. we booked this highlander trip through e internet prior to our departure to UK and we really had a fantastic time looking at water falls, farms, houses by e sea, loch ness, particularly loch ness left me with e deepest impression of all. first ive got to tell you i am a great follower of loch ness monster since young! and to be able to breathe e same air as nessie, touching e water which nessie perspires... that's a moment come true for this young lad here!


air was thin, sometime as low as 9deg cel, i still managed to go for an early morning jog in e town of inverness! i was in my shorts and jacket thinking i am all well-covered to battle e cold but i was wrong! e thing air made it hard for me to run. even though i clocked only just a short 30mins run, i know that jog has enhanced my stamina which in time will be benefical for my upcoming marathon debut! after e jog, believe it or not, i sweated!


no matter where im going, or what im doing, it will never be far from my beloved futbol. i was at this bar in e night catching champions' league - man utd vs rangers, live at inverness town. my favourite booze, jim beam, together with ross and gang, we watched e game till e end. normally i didnt really see much people in e town but comes futbol night, people with jerseies all appeared in e bar! typically scotts, they were there to cheer for e rangers! me too! e guys knew its a high expectation to beat e reds, e final scoreless draw was enough for them to applause after e final whistle!


most of e time, joanne and me would spend shopping at edinburgh. truthfully say, i didnt really enjoy shopping at e streets, not especially if i couldnt get e thing which i want!! shit! i wanted to get this jersey from JJB, it stated purchase comes with free prinint but when i wanted to make e payment, they said machine down! i was like f**k, could it be because i am an asian??!! i didnt want to be sensitive but i couldnt help it. eventually i didnt spend a single cent in e shop! all my hopes are in london now. i heard people mentioning london could be a much more expensiver city to shop than edinburgh, but to my wifey, wh0 cares! pounds are changed, as far as my wifey is concerned, all have to go!! haha!


this scottish trip we met some really nice fellows. too much photos to be uploaded, probably just one here to show we've been through! more exciting blogging from london i suppose!
