  UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!! I'm writing this blog on 3rd Jan 2009 as I sit on my balcony, it's about 84F/28C outside at the moment. Gotta love Texan winters! Edinburgh through the years has always had a significance to me (and to others) as another important city in the UK. It was perhaps the only Scottish city I could name when I was a kid. And so when I planned my trip, rather, when I went to Scotland and Vaiji told me that I'd be going to Edinburgh one day, it felt good! I woke up that…

Sticky Blog: A chronology of all the best things in Durham, and anywhere else I can manage to visit during my time abroad.

A 3 week tour of Scotland including Inner/Outer Hebridies and the Highlands - probably one of the best holidays I have ever done - superb scenery great place to visit - something I never did even after living there for 20 years - well worth the wait!

Edinburgh is one of those cities where you go and get amazed at first sight! You won't want to get back home after spending a charming afternoon in a castle, believe in me!

    I was very excited to go up to Scotland this past weekend for my longest (and farthest away) weekend trip yet. Soon after class ended on Thursday, I'd say probably about half of the people on the program showed up at the train station awaiting the 6-hour train ride up north to Edinburgh. The mass exodus up to Scotland was mostly due to The British Open, much like the first weekend at Wimbledon. Apparently, we weren't the only ones who wanted to travel north, and the train w…

Just a weekend trip up to Scotland with work.

When I was in Spain I met a new (mexican) friend living in Edinburgh who I went to visit. Too much fun, we explored the city together and went over the weekend up in the Scottish highlands, urgh the midges though were killing me I looked like I had measles afterwards haha.. (check out my 'midge net' aka hair ;)

We spent over two weeks traveling all over Scotland in the summer between 9th and 10th grade. Simply put, greatest trip I've ever taken.

In November 2007, I travelled with the Uncle Semolina (& Friends) theatre company to UK, China and Sydney to perform our show "Gilgamesh". We spent 10 days in Beijing, and 7 in Shanghai. These are my pictures from when I was exploring the cities between shows.

I had the wonderful opportunity to travel across England, Scotland, France, and Italy via rental car, with many adventures along the way.

After Uni, and after surfing Canary Islands, and after my detour to USA to have Christmas with my sister, I made my way to Edinburgh for a Hogmanny New Years with my uni mates. We also squeezed in a London visit on the way...Hogmanny was definitely the best new years i've had. Scottish people totally rock!

Edinburgh was our first stay in a hostel. Our hostel, the Globetrotter, was amazing. It was not what you typically would think of a hostel. It was very clean and very safe. The city in general was very beautiful. My favorite part was climbing to the top of King Arthur's seat. From there we could get the most beautiful view of the city!

school trip to scotland (wales,england) 21.6.-1.7.2007

Off2Scotland with Mother Earth,2protest against the Trident Submarines; the nuclear weaponry of the UK. Lots of teambuilding; then blocking the military base of Faslane, where the submarines are docked; &fun in custody. Great trip & group we had.

My, what a cool city. It definitely has a medieval feel to it. I spent several hours here just wandering the old cobblestone streets, admiring the various old buildings, statues, and monuments. There are at several castles here, with Edinburgh castle, perched on a cliffside, being the most dominant. It is the most impressive castle I've seen so far (although I have only seen a handful). The second night I was here, a school marching band performed in the castle courtyard, with the whole Scott…
