Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Scotland（苏格兰）

Last weekend I went to Edinburgh, Scotland. To join the event of the year, Edinburgh Military Tattoo. (Tips: Buy the ticket months before. The event takes place annually throughout August, tickets will sold out couples months before. I got the ticket on May, by the time I got the ticket it was only couple tickets left, I was so happy to get the ticket.)



Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2009 sees Scotland’s colourful military musical spectacular celebrate its 60th season, while paying tribute to the 250th anniversary of the birth of Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns, and playing its part in Scotland’s first ever year of Homecoming.

A cosmopolitan cast of top-class talent will be present, including highlights such as the world-famous Massed Pipes & Drums, the Massed Bands of The Royal Air Force, Switzerland’s Top Secret Drum Corps, along with highland dancing, the Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, the traditional haunting notes of the Lone Piper and, in their first Tattoo appearance, the Central Band of the Swiss Army.



They came out from the castle. Basically the event is in front of the Edinburgh castle.






The castle is the background for those performances, it changed according to the performance. This background for Chinese group performance.


One of my favorite: Switzerland’s Top Secret Drum Corp

This video taken by me at the last couple minutes of the event follow by the firework, too bad my camera don't have enough memory don't have full firework video.


This video taken from YouTube, cos is better than the video I took.

Denmark - Copenhagen（哥本哈根）Part 1

Among all the cities I visited in Scandinavian, Copenhagen is the least favorite town on my list. But one of the interesting area you muct visit when you travel to Copenhagen. That is Christiania.

The MUST visit place, The Freetown of Christiania.
A very unique town with a group of hippies live in there. Drugs sell openly in Pusher Street. Eccentric shops, clubs and galleries. They a little bit free from Denmark's rules.

Behind the Christiania sign is the "You are now entering the EU". I think is to warm the residents when they leaving the Freetown.








The world famous Pusher Street, where hard and soft drugs sell openly, no photos allow. When I walk through Pusher Street alone, I was a little bit worried. I was so funny as well, after my first walked, I felt that, I wanna see again, so I walked two times, even I am a bit nervous. Silly Kikey.. :p


The sentences at the bottom of this map is very interesting to seen in Freetown.


Vor Frelsers Kirke
Climb up the 400 steps of the church's 95m high spiral tower to have a panoramic view of the city across to Sweden. The last 160 steps run spectacularly along the outside rim, arrowing to the point where disappear at the top.

Try to look very closer to the picture on the right, you can see the people walking along the rim. I had visited a lot of towers before, but that was my very first time walk along the rim to the top of tower. So CoOL~~




Great view up there!!


Inside the tower.

Kikey is Back to London
