Hey ho! Let's go!

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.
