@ Edinburgh <上坡下坡中>






 <12 pounds Castle. But it's really great. >




Waling in
Edinburgh
needs a lot of energy and a pair of nice shoes. There are too many routes, closes and slopes. My first day was really tired and I decided to slow down my pace but it did not work on me.



 



After having my breakfast, I decided to explore the city. With the map, I walked along the street to see where the castle, church are. I knew there are too many things in
Edinburgh
and it needs a lot of time to enjoy and admire it. The cathedral I visited was fantastic. I had a nice talk with a gentleman who serves in it. He was so nice that every question I asked, he just very patient to answer them all. Because we talked so happily, he even took me the chapel which needs 2 pounds admission for free. He even suggested me to stay inside to feel the nice chapel. Actually, I found there are so many interesting things inside and then I walked out to keep going ask questions about the chapel. I told him that tomorrow I will visit him again and he smiled to me and said he will wait.



 



Besides the great time, I also had wonderful experience in Waverly Railway Station. I bought Sunday and Monday rail tickets to Sterling and
Glasgow
. Paying with travel check, I need to provide my passport to staff and when he saw my cover of passport. He said suddenly, “You are from
Taiwan
. Taiwan is really great but
China
is really bad.” I am a little shocked because it was my first time to meet this kind situation, and therefore I smiled back and said “It is.
Taiwan
is really fantastic even though we have a stupid president. But it doesn’t matter
Taiwan
is a really great country. ” The staff knew Taiwan and it is because one of his friend who works in
Taiwan
. As the result, he knew many things about
Taiwan
and he also knew we want to be independent. After taking my rail ticket, I was in a great mood to leave to station and head toward

Edinburgh
Castle

.



 





Edinburgh

Castle

is really fantastic. With the membership card, I did not need to pay any penny on ticket and I also got 20% discount on Audio earphone. There were too many things to enjoy and I have spent four hours inside it. I think 12 pounds on the ticket is really worthy but if you also want to rent audio will cost 3.5 pounds. However, you bought a set ticket with audio for only 15 pounds.



 



Leaving castle and I moved to another place to enjoy
Edinburgh
. I went to the Casoton Hill. On top of it, I could see the whole city above my feet but I have to say the way was really long and it needed a lot of energy to go there. Back to my hostel, I told my roommate I had a great time in
Edinburgh
but I was really exhausted. It’s time for me let my two feet on the wall.
