you are jet-setting again, but just a short trip to the north. a city that you visited just about two weeks ago. you manage to sneak away from autumn in the lowland to summer and green scotland.
and today you are in the city center of edinburgh, you seize the opportunity by having your lunch at the princes garden just opposite the client's office. this is the view from your the bench where you sit and munch on your sandwiches
a little further, also along the princes garden is this green field just beside the national gallery of scotland museum, you sat on a different bench enjoying your ice cream and at one point you almost convince you should not return to the workplace. but no, you are a responsible person, you went back after all. although you may have left your heart here, thinking of the tree and lying on the green pasture.
fast forward, in the evening you had drink session with your colleague and then venture out for dinner.
at a building along george street with some columns... it's like walking into national treasure...
the interior of the building, the hallway with chandelier, the dome ceiling bar and dining area...
everything is grand and impressive except the green elephant which seem completely out of the place. you asked the lead waiter and learned that it's a animal week of edinbrugh that most restaurants and establishments will have display of one animal that close to extinct. and this particular green elephant is wearing a blanket made by a renowned artist...bla, bla, bla,... even after taking the time to listen to the end, to you this elephant is still completely out of the place, spoiling the entire classic atmosphere of the dome.
you had this fillet of scottish beef with potatoes - medium as always and it's delicious, although 8oz is a bit too much for dinner, but you wipe your plate clean. and leave the place.
walking back to your hotel, you can't paint the city red tonight because you still need to finish a few things for your work. tomorrow another full day and you will be going to another city.
yes, you <3 your job.
