I'm home!! :) I mean technically I've been here for about 6 hours, but I've only just stopped moving. I was the first one here, but shortly afterward one of my flatmates arrived. Her name is Tina and she's from Germany - she's great. We've been shopping already and gotten a lot of the stuff for our flat - all of our dishes, some groceries, etc. The dishes we had to scout around a little bit for, but finally ended up with a good start. My favorite are the white squarish Ikea plates, a set of 8 that we got at a secondhand store for £4. They're slightly classier (and were actually cheaper) than dishes at "Pound Stretcher" (think Dollar Mart), where we got a lot of our other stuff for cheap. It's really great. I still need to work on getting bedding, plus stuff for my room to make it feel a little more homey. I should probably do that before the shops close in an hour. Grr. Okay fine.
Good story - when Tina and I were going out to go shopping, we came out this little alleyway onto the Royal Mile onto a PARADE. It was fabulous - there seemed to be several different bands all playing together. We have no idea what it was for, but it was pretty cool. :)
