Farewell and Adieu Scotland
As I close the Scottish adventure chapter of my life and before I begin to snap myself back to the realities of my life, I would admit that coming to Scotland has provided me room to relax, unwind and rediscover something good.
I awed in wonder of the greatness and power of Edinburgh castle, but my heart was touched by the humble presence of its little chapel, St. Margareth. A living proof that love indeed stand the test of time.
I wowed the grandeur of Holyrood House Palace and envied royal life. But as I lied down at the grass lawn I saw the perfectly blue sky and thought to myself, I'm lucky to be alive and free and to have the resources to see all of these wonderful things.
I saw Arthur's seat from afar and I failed setting foot on it. But as I tried my best to go there, I enjoyed the richness of nature's art thru its horizons, the gentleness of life as the wind whispers its lullaby to the grasses and the power to last forever thru these volcanic rocks. It was humbling and liberating.
As for new things to learn, I have learned to
1. Get an All Day pass to save travel money.
2. Buy ready-to-eat food and microwave them, it saves you a lot. But reward yourself with fine dining once in a while.
3. People are nice and warm. You just have to give them a chance.
4. Any form of help could change a person's mood in an instant and if you're lucky, that instant could occupy a whole page in that person's diary.
5. Life is worth living...so live it the best you can, today!
So, Scotland, farewell and adieu~
