a.false.alarm.and.christmas.market


you are jet setting again today, to a northern city - edinburgh.  on your arrival, after the immigration passport check, you rush to the toilet because of the nature's call. then you walk out the international arrival and hop on to a taxi to your client. somehow you decided to reach your handbag for something by then you kinda realize your passport is not in the inner compartment. panic. stressed. you check thoroughly once, twice and you ask the driver to turn back to airport. after some moment of inquiries and calls, you finally being directed to the right counter.  you expressed that you lost your passport and you suspect it is left in the toilet in the arrival hall. but thanked God that you got it back in no time. phew!!! false alarm. you were worried what if you couldn't find it, would you be trap in edinburgh, can you still fly back to malaysia in two weeks... what if, what if... anyway, thanked God that things didn't go that track...

fast forward, you checked in to your favorite hotel in the city center and went out to explore the city (of course) and much to your surprise you found a christmas market at the princes garden along the princes street.

 the big wheel

 an atmospheric christmas market at the foot hill of edinburgh castle, there is a ice ring in the princes garden ...

 brewed wine is served here too...
and a christmas crystal ball, except this is in human size....

carousel and many more....
it rains shortly after and the wind is becoming stronger and stronger. you decided to walk back to your hotel and stop by waterstone for some book browsing and call it a day.
it's a nice prologue to a anglo saxon christmas market and this saturday you are going to visit one too in germany.
