After the first week stayed in Paris,second week in Italy and Vatican, the next stop is Scotland. Scotland a very nice country, and people are always friendly and peaceful really - my friend, Neil and his Dad came to pick me up in the airport. ( thanks so much !) and I stay in Neil and his parent's place. what a nice big house - Neil have 2 older sister but one married and one live with BF, so they have some room for guest <ie. me>.Two cats in the house too :-D

Everybody were busy, so i go to the central station in Glasgow myself by bus and take the train to Edinburgh. I thought two cities were very closed- but Neil told me : no no no, the train between 2 cities is an hour.."
Oops ... ok ok ok ... I went out very early and plan to see all the famous and non famous things in one day! ( and actually you can made it, coz Edinburgh is a small city - although this is the capital of Scotland ).
See how many things I'vei visited - and not in rush, Ii really stay long enough to see every details of the building, the people, went to the shops, and this is very easy not only because I have friends there BUT mainly because people can speak English .. just the accent ( but not too hard in this two cities, Neil told me its very hard to understand if the Scottish is from the north)
but sometime i dont understand Neil's Scottish accent either.. ...
Neil :
" do you like vee?"
Me : Argh?? vee??
Neil : do you like vee??
Me : what is vee??
( look at him with a question mark on my face)
Neil: like....just vee ! do you know vee?
Me : ......... can you .... spell it?
Neil : W - I - N - E
Me: ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! |

Neil's mom had enough sleep ( she said that, but still can see she was very tired) and go out with me. she bring me to museum ( I forgot which one ... ) and alot to see there. then I brought some candy in this museum and we went to the park next to it ,the park was very nice, just like a forest and everywhere covered which differen't green/yello/organe ( the colours of the leafs)
After that, we went to a shopping mall which Neil's oldest sister work and we had some tea and desert there. It was Halloween eve, therefore many parties here of course - Neil have to work at the bar ( he is a student and part time job in the bar) so Neil's second sister took me to go to their party.
I went back home with Neil's mom, help her to do a make up ( she asked me to :-D ) for going to her halloween party, than Neil's sister(Jennifer) come to pick me up with her BF to their place before the party. very nice house really - and the cats are very cute. we had dinner in the house and some kids come to knock the door for candy ... NEVER have it in HK! haha
then we went to the party - everybody dressed up so cute but me - coz im just a tourist ;-)
Neil's dad come to pick me home at mid night ... I meant they were toooo nice ( wanna cry now! )
i Really miss my BF at that moment. actually its was the first time for me - the first week I arrived Europe, REALLY, every night can see him in the dream... miss him so much. i even hope to finish the trip faster to back to see him. |

I had a thought i shouldn't write down what happened that day on this album before. but i've decied to write it down - its actually happened, and this was a part of the trip, to affected how my feeling goes worse for the rest. So i just tell here.
I check Email in Neil's place at the morning- I used to do that to keep contect to my BF/Friends. then i got this Email--I can't believe - he sent me a really cold and selfish Email to dumped me. I was really in love and miss him alot when i was alone there. then of course i cried, back to the room to cry like hell. Neil heard it and come to cuddle me, asked me what happened. I guess he had figure it out - i want to talk to him, but i can't stop crying in like 5 or 10 mins. my heart was really broken. its made me cried like 20+ times aday ( not an impression but its really happened, continuous like a week - can't really eat as well ), cried no matter alone or on the street. how can he do that? I gave all my heart and my love to him. Neil was very angry after i show him the email too. its made all the rest of my trip covered with a shadow. i was still in love after that "event" for 2-3 months., but now i would say he is a loser to let me go like that.----Email. coward! so great now i'm not with him coz he is not worth
I didn't go out that day - wake up at 3am to chat with friends in HK and this loser too ( in HK was day time ) - how could i sleep? i keep waking up.. |

The date I'm off to Spain. Neil have to go to school so he couldn't pick me to the airport, but I can go myself. very sad, it was honestly killing me. take the bus to central station and take the train to the airport myself. still have some ££££ so i spent them all to call my friends in Airport- Aurelie in France, Pun in Thailand, David in Hong Kong. all of them are very sorry for me and i cried even more in airport. Aurelie was very angry and said he is an asshole ( I keep telling her he is not that bad at that time - but now i just realize i was toooo kind !!!) finally i spent all my coins and went to the flight.
