Hey ho! Let's go!

So...Tuesday was a one of those days..
Firstly, I used McGyver skills to fix my umbrella. and I think I fixed it..with a hammer..oh yes. Going to test it out as soon as there's some rain (too see if that trouble was all worth it, the umbrella cost £1...).
Secondly, a warning for you guys out there doing your laundry: don't leave your stuff to soak too long. I accidentally bleached my jacket. hey-hou!Thirdly, I met this guy, who made Tombraider the computer game. According to him, his name is even in the closing credits. and he hates Steven Seagal (mm..who doesn't?). Anyway, that's what you get, when you go to the beach sooth your mind: instead you get an interesting conversation.
Yesterday made me feel like the main character of "Yes Man". Should I call myself a Yes Woman from now on?..

a quick update.
but first, I lied to you. There are actually more churches in Aberdeen than just two (well of course. d'oh!), but two of them work as nightclubs. and I've been to one of them (if I remember correctly..)Yes..Marta has showed me the nightlife in Aberdeen. So far so good! :) People are cool, music is cool (not all the time, but still...Marta knows some great trance moves that can keep you dancing no mather how bad the music is). To be honest, I can't remember when was the last time I've danced so much. Legs were hurting the next day. Don't get me wrong, I don't dance like Shakira (for Christ sake I played basketball for 9 years..not very lady-like is it). Though, I did get a compliment about my dancing..Nevertheless, everybody can dance, because there's always silly dance. There's a video on youtube with Talking Heads doing some brilliant dance moves ;DNo news concerning job or a new living place. But I'm not worried. Remembering what happened in Bath, it takes about two weeks or so, before your phone starts ringing. Besides I do have plan B and plan C. Plan B: they're always looking for new staff at Burger King. Plan C: I might as well start my own business by repairing cameras (fortunately I can't guarantee that the outcome is always positive).Actually, I'm really looking forward to the time when I have all these things sorted out: school, job, home. So that I can start feeling not so touristy.Internet is gone from the flat. Probably because neighbours got a feeling that somethings going on. Luckily, there will be Internet in about two weeks time. At the moment I'm in this lovely little French cafe. Drinking some peppermint tea and writing this. (P.S. They make lovely tomato & basil soup here!)I've been reading this book "Yes Man" by Danny Wallace. It's really entertaining to read how this depressed guy suddenly starts saying "Yes" to everything. and I mean everything. He gets into really bizarre situations. That book made me think about how many times have I said yes to things I'd normally say no. I came up with some, some of those spontanous things you sometimes do because you think "What's the worst thing that could happen? I'll give it a go!" Those are actually one of the most refreshing and exciting memories I have. So I really suggest reading that book. whenever you're feeling down just read a chapter and you'll be laughing again. ;)
Weather's been quite nice. We've had some rain, but mostly it's been sunny and windy.
here's also a photo of my luggage (I forgot to post it earlier)
Cheers, my dears!!

Hey-hou, my dear blog readers. This is my new blog. A blog about UK, Scotland, Aberdeen, my life, my stream of consciousness etc.

Why am I writing in English? (I appologise for any grammatical errors I make. I'm not native, you know)
Because:
A) I want to practise English (at the moment I'm living with Estonians so there's no English at home)
B) to urge my mum to learn English (though she's probably going to use my sisters or google translate to understand what I'm writing) No worries, there should come some writings in Estonian ;)
C) I do have some friends who don't understand Estonian and English is widely spoken language.

So here I am: sitting next to this malfunctioning banjo that Marta gave to me (ei Liina, see ei ole mu "Väike My", mitte veel vähemasti ;)), trying to gather my thoughts and write.
For those of you still in the dark: I moved to UK to study Events Management. The course lasts for 4 years. Long enough to get to know this country a bit more than just a tourist.
Now about my trip from Tartu to Aberdeen (via Riga and Glasgow). It lasted about 18 hours. During those many hours I experienced many different emotions: from teary-eyed sadness to pure joyfulness. That sadness came from realising that I'm moving far away from the people that are really close to my heart. Therefore, sitting near security control where friends and family members sent away their travellers, wasn't making things easier for me as I was in Riga all by myself (well I did have Devendra Banhart with me, but he was in mp3 format..not helping that much). Luckily I met a girl, Alena, who was going to Glasgow and wanted to study the same thing. That meeting in a bag drop queue made this trip much funnier.
Flight with Ryanair was what-more-could-you-excpect-from-a-cheap-airline-type of flight. Luckily the pilots were on top of their game. They even got a nice applaud at the end of the flight (I'm not sure why. We did flew through a cloud and the plane was pretty shaky then... Nevertheless, thank you, guys!)
So finally in Glasgow. Mmmm! The air was already different. It felt great! First contact with the real Scottish accent was on a train from the airport to the city centre: ticket controller William. So this is the language I have to get used to. Nae bad ;)
What is more, I know have a place to stay overnight in Glasgow and that is a great thing because my first impression about Glasgow is...Wow! Love at first sight! ;)
The following bus trip to Aberdeen was another wow. As a girl coming from a country where the highest peak is 318 meters, now seeing mountains..wow..and I mean mountains (they looked great from the plane, but driving past them was another thing and certainly climbing on them is the best). A hiking/climbing trip to the mountains was instantly booked in my head. All these mountains and the sea (no wonder Biffy Clyro is from Scotland!) and those castles etc. Yes, there's so much to see, feel, hear :)
My first day in Aberdeen: rain! Better get used to that, ay. So summer is over for me, as today the temperature was 12 degrees at one point. First thing I bought was an umbrella..a pink one to brighten up these rainy days. ;) The city itself looks nice. I saw a some statues (including William Wallace), many beautiful buildings, shopping centres. As Marta told me there are two curches in this city and both of them work now as nightclubs. And of course the beach. Though the water is way to cold to have a swim it's still really nice and relaxing place.
Ok That's it. Actually this is just the beginning. Beginning of many-many new and exciting stuff ;)..

So come back every now and then if you want and check out what have I got to say about....everything & nothing ;)

P.S. Dear Santa Claus. If you're reading this letter can you get me a ticket to Biffy Clyro's show in Aberdeen. Though it seems to be sold out I'm sure you can work something out. Thank you!

P.P.S. Aberdeen have been mentioned by the one and only Homer Simpson (check out the episode "Monty Can't Buy Me Love" and 18 minute).

Stay cool,

K.S.
