More Time than Money

I'm really glad now that I made the trek (OK, it was all of an one hour flight but at least let me make it sound a bit arduous!) up here to Scotland. I spent New Year's Eve (or the somewhat cryptic Hogmanay's as its called up here, it was only the other day that I realised that it wasnt the name of a pub!) in Edinburgh with a group of ppl who were friends's with my friend in Glasgow .. a truly picturesque place with all the jagged hills that seem to dot its landscape and old buildings that stand on them (Edinburgh that is, though I have to say for Glasgow that having a Dr Who Tardis in the middle of the main plaza of Buchanan St is pretty funky!). Unfortunately I didnt get many snaps of Ed since most of the time there was spent either recovering from the pale ale or being involved in festivities that require the remedy aforementioned! In between indulging in those two complimentary activities we did manage to visit Holyrood (parliament house of Scotland, apparently which came with a construction bill not too dissimilar to its more famous American almost-namesake) and St Giles Cathedral. Also set minor records in how many people can sleep in a student's accomodation room! Fly back to England on the 4th, only 2 weeks or so before I start on the road back home beginning in Bulgaria.
