A number of things struck me about this fair land during the first month I was here. Maybe they’ll strike you too. They’re in rough chronological order.
Edinburgh buildings
Most buildings in the Old Town near our flat are very old.
Our flat was built in 1595. They all look old and weathered but very cool.
Beer
This means ale here. I started asking for lager (Staropramen, from Prague, is delicious), though I’ve developed a taste for beer now
