NORTHERN SCOTLAND

 

the company with free highland tour

walking down the royal mile is one of my hobby. whenever i'm bored and have nothing to do, this is the first option. go around and walk down the largest, longest and finest road. one friday afternoon, as i was walking down and having a definitive tourist experience i stopped in front of this cafe, i found out that they offer free highland tours during weekends! wooooah, i was like is there a place on earth where things like these are for free? my answer was, YES in edinburgh! where i am staying for 9 months! the weekend i knew that this was for free, i booked for it straightaway! and here's the result of all by myself tour...

ARRIVAL IN EDINBURGH

proven, that it is really God's will to come out of the country, and experience a new and adventurous life away home...

my first impression of the city was TOO WINDY! well, tell me how windy is too windy? Edinburgh's position is between the hills and the coast. that's why it's super windy. i needed to find many ways how to tie up my hair!

first day: Calton Hill

my flatmate Aurelie is french, she's cool and very good in cooking!

my first time to see a man on his kilt :)

MY HAIR INTO ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

my natural hair gets love because its what the good Lord gave me and God didn't make no junk!! I love my natural hair because it's part of me. Although we're just getting to know each other again after 20 YEARS. we lost touch with each other but now that I've been blessed to be with you again... never letting you go. we are one.

WORSTS OF LIVING ALONE

1. You have to do everything yourself, including cleaning up your mess, and fixing every single thing.

2. making tons of lunch, dinner and merienda as if it is for your whole family.

during my stay in Edinburgh, the first time i cooked rice, i really had no any idea of how many cup of rice will feed me. YES JUST ME! i ended up cooking rice for i think, at least 7 people! my flatmate was like "Rose, no worries, now you've got your rice ready for your 9 months stay here!" lol

3. Not having someone around to judge & inspect the outfit you've got on! i can go around the home with whatever clothes i have, perhaps walking around naked! lol

4. messing up the kitchen whenever i like to! and that just took me 3hours to clean!

5. coming home after "going out" alone, I was always SUPER paranoid someone was in the bushes, entrance, etc... waiting to pounce as I was getting in myflat. super LOL

6. not having someone there to take care of you when you're sick! thank God, i was just ill monthly for my period.

7. OCCASIONAL BOREDOM! and when i am bored, my hair was one of my best companion! i never get bored with my hair. i can always find something to do with them! they are the best!
