bunny


i went to peter's yard today, and ordered a cappuccino like always.

when it was brought to me, i was pleasantly surprised to see a bunny on my coffee. im glad that i sat in today, coz if i had taken it away, i would not have been able to see this :)

see, slow life does bring happiness!

ZUMBA!!!

OMG!!! it was SUPER fun!!!!!

every monday at 6pm @Bongo club on hollyrood rd :)

Edinburgh with Hannah!

Hannah came from london to visit me in edi:)

we've been to edinburgh together last summer for a few days for the festival already, so this time it was more about relaxin&talkin :D

We did a cafe crawl to some of my favorite coffee places.
First, I took her to spoons above black medicine coffee&co.
I had delicious vegitable antipasti & pitta for lunch.


Then, I took her to Peter's Yard and had yummy coffee and rhubarb tart. Peter's Yard is just by the meadows and they have the best swedish pastries and coffee. i love love.


Then we did a walk through the meadows...


We also went to Deli's cafe, an indian cafe with the BEST chai tea ever. Then we went home and i made us thai curry, and we watched Almost famous my favorite movie of all times :)

The next day, we went to cramond island, just 30 min away from the centre by bus 41. It's an island that u can walk to, if u go there during low tide :) we checked the tidal time table, and went there at the peak of low tide!

It was beautiful!!!!


After we came back to edinburgh, we had lunch at elephant&bagels, and then we went up Arthur's seat :) we went up the full 250m! yay! lol to think that addis is 10 times higher than arthur's seat is pretty incredible!

As always, i had the best best time with Hannah!!!!
im gonna visit her for her birthday this month in london :)
cant wait to see her again!!!!!


Beltane


On the 30th of April, we went to Beltane, the festival of fire, coming of summer, and most importantly, NUDITY!!!! lol

it was quite something.

the red ppl were half naked, dancing, and chanting.


i didnt really understand it, but the performance was really exciting. there were tons of ppl there, although it cost £8.50 to get in.

what i found a bit disappointing was the lack of interaction between the performers and the audience.
it would have been a more exciting event, if the dynamic of the event wasn't performers/audience, but if there were more integration between the two.

all in all, it was an event worth going to!!!
it looks like there's one for each season, Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasadh and Samhuinn so it would be interesting to see the other ones too!
