  • SHOUT OUT EDINBURGH, you are truly wonderful. Some of my fav places you need to try: kilted donut, ross bagels, Calton hill, topping and company, red door gallery, bonnie burrito, fudge kitchen, cuckoos bakery. Some places other people recommended but I couldn't visit:
    - Marys milk bar, love and crumbs, Preachers patisserie.

    Hi Grace I’m from Edinburgh, Maki & ramen’s takeaway bowls are designed so the noodles are on top and underneath is a second layer of the container with the broth in it! So sad you didn’t find it bc it’s so good 😅

      England isn’t in the EU anymore. And England is in the UK, as well as Wales, Scotland and northern Ireland. So you can freely move in this area. You cannot freely go to the rest of Europe anymore.

      @@zuzannanowak8876 First, I’m sorry if my comment was misleading, because I do not live in the UK, although I have family there. Because of Brexit (aka. The UK leaving the European Union) you now need a visa to travel to the rest of the EU. This however was not the case before. There is only an agreement between the Republic of Ireland and the UK that states that the citizens can move freely in those countries. In addition to that there are also taxes on products so imported goods are more costly. Honestly there are so many changes, I wouldn’t be able to list them all, but if you’re really interested search maybe for „Brexit and its consequences“ or something similar. Hope that helped!

    I think you would like Dublin! I was there on a day trip in 2001 ( from Bangor Uni in North Wales with the International students, which I was technically one of) and it was around St Patrick’s Day. I went off exploring on my own and felt super safe, did not get lost, found a little free/cheap art gallery/museum and had so much fun!

    Before the pandemic my sister and I went to Edinburgh for the Fringe festival, and we also stayed overnight in Dundee with a friend so we actually got to see a LOT in 48 hours lol! We climbed Dundee Law while in Dundee and went to the V&A which was fab - when we got back to Leeds it felt like we'd been away for a week, not 48 hours, we were exhausted but managed to pack so much in!! We also went to the galleries in Edinburgh and got the tour bus which took us out and about - there's literally so much to do!! If the Fringe returns I recommend you go Grace it's fab, the city is so alive! Xxx
