MARU in Edinburgh

來到愛丁堡已經兩個多禮拜了,美麗的街景跟自然景觀,真的讓我感到無比的幸福跟幸運。到處是百年的教堂和城堡,多樣的美術展覽,我想這一年是可以好好充實自己的。

9月4號從台北出發,在荷蘭阿姆斯特丹的機場轉機,一共飛了18個小時,來到這個半個地球遠的地方,整個就是一個新的開始。不過用了五年多的相機,就這麼在阿姆斯特丹飛愛丁堡途中壞掉了,以致到現在都沒相機可用。希望下禮拜有銀行帳號跟手機,就有錢買新相機了!

而剛到愛丁堡就被微涼的天氣給嚇到了,大約台灣的12~15度左右,之後的兩個禮拜就都幾乎都是溫暖的好天氣了。一直到這幾天,才又回到像第一天的偏冷氣候,而氣象預報下禮拜是9~12度!(晚上的愛丁堡真的很冷啊,而這只是初秋呢...)

我也幸運的在剛到愛丁堡的幾天內,就看到了愛丁堡藝術節閉幕的煙火,整個愛丁堡市區都是看煙火的人潮,而且整整放了一個小時。在異鄉看到中國人發明的煙火,綻放的如此燦爛,思緒也複雜起來。到了半個地球遠的地方,遠離了愛我的家人..男友..朋友..,陌生的語言和環境,通通都是無比的大的挑戰,但我想自己會慢慢克服的,並在克服之後,火花會越來越多,也越加燦爛。

I have been in Edinburgh for two weeks. I do feel I am very lucky to be this place that has so many beautiful sights, nature, ancient churches and castles, and various art exhibitions. I can really learn and sense a lot from all of it.

I took a flight from Taipei in 4th Sep., then transfered in Amsterdam, then after 18 hours I arrived in Edinburgh. Everything in here is totally new for me; the weather is so cool even it is actually very good for all Scottish, the food is delicious when I had in the first day, and the language that is so different from chinese. However, I think I will over come all of it, like the fireworks I saw in the end of The Edinburgh International Festival, they sparked so pretty and brilliant in the foreign sky yet they were invented in Asia.
