Hope you catch some nice weather for it. Got any shows planned out? --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!

I went for the first time ever two weeks ago.
Obtain a map as soon as you can. That is super important. Unless your colleague is going to guide you around all the time. Make sure you have 4 change for a bus ticket every day. That is very necessary. You can jump on and off at any point with a ticket. If you try to pay by card, you pay 1.70 for a single bus ride - you cant buy a day ticket with a card. Prepare to do a lot of walking. The city is huge. I got lost several times and found myself just walking and walking. The most convenient free toilets are in Wetherspoons by the train station. Others will be far too busy when youre out walking around town. --- "Well, it's not a bad game. It's made by Capcom, so how could it?" ~ AVGN ... Copied to Clipboard!

Unless your colleague is going to guide you around all the time.we're mostly going for work, so between 9am and 7pm, we'll be at lectures and events and talks when we're out in the evening, it'll probably be at an evening reception/drinks in the main part of town or at a comedy show somewhere.

I got lost several times and found myself just walking and walking.i heard that edinburgh is quite small to walk around? either way we could probably expense transport costs but thanks for the tip about free toilets. that always catches me out wherever i go [LFAQs-redacted-quote] yup, she's super cute ;) --- ...
