Edinburgh - pre-departure to Amsterdam

after my SPA interview on Friday, i stayed on in edinburgh to meet the rest of my travel mates later on in the day. it was nice to stroll aimlessly along the streets of edinburgh. it got pretty boring after a while, but still i saw some pretty interesting sights.

a man in kilt blowing his bagpipes at full blast for the opening ceremony of a shop. it was quite refreshing to hear that a new store was being opened, since most other shops along the street were closing down.

the scot monument built in memory of Sir Walter Scot.

princes square.. not a bad place to chill and relax

bokeh! i'm so proud of my point-and-shoot.;p

some intestine-looking water basin along high street. looks like i'm not the only one wondering what it is.

high street

the national gallery

daffodils!

dinner... a cornish affair (since i won't be able to go to cornwall.. might as well eat my share of cornish pastry first. sob..)

the tantalising angus burger beckoning to me as i waited for my friends... i will definitely try one before i go back. i mean, where else would i find hairy coo meat??

my spot... i discovered that i can actually sleep anywhere, especially after numerous sleepless nights sorting out projects and assignments.

we all finally arrived at the edinburgh airport where we were supposed to spend a night. the airport is comfortable man! with cushiony chairs. haha.. it was rather cold though.. but nothing can beat milan airport where we had to sleep on the cold hard floor!
