@ Edinburgh <迷宮似的堡>
When I arrived Edinburgh, it was at 3: 45 pm. It was one hour late because the bus I took had a problem with it and it caused passengers in Aviemore had to wait more than one hour.
Edinburgh is a great city with lots of beautiful buildings along the hillside. Due to it is an old city so doesn’t expect it has well organized routes. The routes of the city just look like a big maze. I got lost several times not because I am a disoriented person. Every time I open the map and ask the locals about the directions and they usually pause for a while and look at the map and think where we are.
The goal of my first day in Edinburgh just searched for food and the first one I visited is Sainsbury then came to TESCO. Finding Sainsbury was quite easy but TESCO was totally drove me crazy because it was located near the Edinburgh University. The area on map looked like a maze. The way I went to and the way I came back were completely different. As the result, I needed to ask two people to get way back.
I did not go out to visit the city during the nighttime. It’s Friday and every body just want to have fun in the city. While I am typing the article, I could hear people scream and shout on the street. This is a shorting coming to live near the campus. Instead, I decided to stay in the room and listen to my roommate talking and I sometimes would cut into the talk. I have two mates today, one is from the USA and the other is from Germany. The German speaks perfect English and I thought she must be an American when I knew she is from German. I was shocked because she is the first one I met without accent. She said she learn her English in American school in China. She used to work in HK and China for half an year so we could talk about the cross strait and economy around the world. Quite interesting, isn’t it?
After I typed the article, a man came into the room. I was shocked. I thought this room should only let girls in. However, my German girl friend told me no because this is mixed room type. American girl also had same reaction as mine. But it was okay the fourth roommate is really nice and he is also from Germany. Interestingly, the two Germans hates each other because they are from different provinces. Oh, my god. Even though, they are from same country, they still have identity problems.
