Aberdeen

Arriving Aberdeen at noon, Osbert's dad took us to see the fishes. Unfortunately, I did not manage to see any fishes swimming around. Does that mean I am not lucky enough? Well, his mum said that if I did manage to see fishes, I would be lucky for one year. Wow.. is it true? I wanted to see some fishes though. I was told that the salmon swam upstream to lay their eggs. Isn't that taking a lot of energy? Yea.. it is and they just die after laying eggs. Poor fishy!!


At the river

This was taken at one of the castles. Hmm... what was the castle's name again? This is only one of the castles in Scotland. There are a lot of castles. I like to visit all of the castles but I don't have a lot of time in Aberdeen, I'm leaving the next day for Newcastle. Sigh.. it was fun staying in Aberdeen.
It's called Crathes Castle.

This was taken at the city centre. It was a bit dark because the lights weren't on. They should have it on, right?

Well, I think only some of the lights are on. This was more colourful.

This builiding is made from granite and is the oldest building in where? I'm not sure. I forgot already. I was told though. Very forgetful, am I?
That is Marshall College, the second biggest granite building in the world.


This was taken in the shopping mall. It was really cold outside. I didn't have enough time to walk around and also window shopped. Sigh.. but I went to church that night and watched movie with Osbert and his friends. He said that watching movie price in Aberdeen is cheap. Rite???
After movie, his dad came to pick us up. We only slept at 2am in the morning. O.. I think it was only me because he slept at 3am. His mum, sister, dad, him and me were chatting. They are also related to Tommy Ting, who is also my cousin. wow.. long relations huh? But then, Bintulu is so small, who wouldn't expect such connections/relations.
