Thanks, Scott.

I had spent 2 days in Edinburgh since I went to York on the 3rd day
morning. Lucky, the weather wasn't bad in those 2 days & just some small
showers. There is great impression for Edinburgh, people are very friendly.
There are experiences for I was finding somewhere on the map in the street,
some guys asked me where I wanted to go and taught me how to go there
initiative. There was another experience that I didn't know I had to order
food and pay at counter in the pub, a nice man who advised me :-)

It was so pity that I couldn't go to lochs area since my worse plan, I hope
I can take another chance to Scotland for taking pictures of lochs.


Regards,
Michael
