Edinburgh: Things to Note

From Edinburgh...


- People walk fast
- There is a golf course in the middle of the city (no joke...all 18 holes). Oh, not to mention the castle...(in the back of picture above, on the right)
- There is little to no grid system, and streets are known to change names every few blocks, thus making for a confusing adventure
- It seems perfectly acceptable to wear ridiculous attire in public (ie puffy skirts and bright blue sparkly make up and sequins)
- The toilets don't flush the same way, they kind of just spill water into the bowl and they don't really make the toilet flush noise.
- On another toilet note, a lot of places use napkins instead of toilet paper, which is so smart because it's much easier to waste when it's in a roll.
- When going out, food is the same price as it is in the US. Except it's in pounds, so it's double.
- They like things deep fried. Like hamburgers. Gross.
- That section of the city called "New Town" is actually as old as the US.
