edinburgh

 

Hannah and I went to Edinburgh for one night on the 20th of August.  Yes, I know it was right before our dissertation deadline, but we only live once and I didn't want to miss an opportunity to go to the Festival with Hannah!!!  By the time I go to Edinburgh on the 10th of Sep, the Festival will be over, so it was a good chance for me too.

The Festival was great just like last summer.  We saw the Soweto Gospel Singers from South Africa, and a Scottish contemporary dance group.  I really enjoyed both of them, although the contemporary dance was kind of, well, weird.  I didn't really understand it, but then again, maybe not all art are meant to be understood.  

The next day we walked around the city avoiding the crowd and went up Calton Hill which felt really good.  I will definitely come here again once I start living in Edinburgh.

I'll miss london when I leave, but I want to make the most of the time I will spend in Edinburgh this year.  I want to travel around Scotland!  and maybe find myself a scottish boy???  hehehe

our birthdays

Honestly, this summer has been the best summer of my life.

I got to travel to Croatia, Greece, Spain and Holland.  I spent time with my amazing friends and met incredible new people.  I experienced so many new things.  I even fell in love for crying out loud! lol

But the best moment came at the end of the summer, August 17th, my birthday.  Me and kimkim have the same birthday, and we both always keep it very low key.  We've never really done anything big before.

But this year, my birthday started a few days before in the Hague, with a surprise party by my friends.  Then, on the actual day, Hannah made me a special birthday brunch!!!  Then, for dinner, Kimkim, me, Vassilis and Hannah decided to go to a very fancy restaurant called Rhodes 24 situated on the 24th floor of Tower 42 besides the Gherkin.(The service not to mention the food was superb, by the way.)  Then on the weekend, we celebrated again with some of our friends from uni(It was Martina's birthday on the 17th and Anis on the 19th too!) at the bedroom bar where we SO love.  

Just the fact that I got to spend my birthday with 3 of my closest friends in London was amazing, but just everything, it was all so perfect.   

i am a really lucky girl, and i am really truly happy.
