Best of Edinburgh 2010 (Part 1)

Hai elibadi.

Here're some of my favorite pictures from the city of Edinburgh, where we stayed for some good 5 days.

The Scott Monument just outside Edinburgh's main train station (Waverley Station)

Edinburgh is a beautiful place to visit. Its so European, yet in so many ways, it is also so different from other European cities.

View of the Edingburgh Old Town

Princes Street would be undoubtedly my favorite street in the whole of Edinburgh because it reads... "SHOPPING HAVEN!!!!!!"

I bought so much of clothes & boots & jackets that I had to buy an extra luggage to bring them all back. Too much. I know. But hey, I'm working now! I think I deserve to splash a lil every now and then :D

I think this is the St. Paul's church. Sorry, my memory is as good as a potato nowadays.

To make things even better, weather was nothing but awesome. Chilly but sunny almost every day.

Perfect for someone like me.

I don't like it when it rains. I hate cloudy weather. I love the sun. But I hate the heat.Ppl tell me I'm hard to please, but I donch know what they're talking about.

That was me in one of my stupid moments.

Picture above was taken on board the Royal Yatch Britannia. Basically the Royal family's ship.

Did you know that Prince Charles and Princess Diana had their honeymoon on board this ship? I even saw the room they made Prince William in. ahem.

Only kidding. Bout the making Prince William part. I DID saw the room though. Nothing fancy.
In fact, the whole ship was nothing to shout about. The Queen E wanted the ship to be somewhat humble and normal. Guess she could use a bit of normalcy seeing how she's being fussed around everyday.

(>.<)

And by the way, the ship is adjacent to the Terminal Shopping Complex. Supposedly a relatively new & happening & nice complex. But still, nothing beats One Utama & Mid Valley :D

I obviously couldn't see anything because I will need to put in coins. And. I'm just too kiam siap for words. wtf.

The long plastic thing I was holding was the audio guide.

The first question asked by the person at the audio guide counter was whether we want Chinese audioguides.

Please read the conversation that follows:

AudioGuide fella: Hi there, would you like a Chinese audio guide?

Me: Nah, I'd like an English one please.

Mum: Children nowadays don't know their roots. My daughter here can't even speak decent Chinese. Puts me to shame really.

Me: -__-"

AudioGuide fella: *smiles politely and hands my mum and audioguide* Here, madam... a Chinese one for you.

Mum: Oh sorry, I'd like to have English.

Me: -___________-

AudioGuide fella: *tulan-ed*

Can anyone tell me how was this conversation even possible????????

Sigh. That'll be all for Part1 of the "Best of Edinburgh 2010" series. Eh cheh.

Stay tuned for Part 2. Coming not so soon. wtf.

I chao first,
Ah Moi
