The Long and Painful History of Edinburgh Castle
Visually domineering, Edinburgh Castle is a majestic fixed feature upon the volcanic Castle Rock that has a sense of the pre-civilised about it. Today it may be a huge tourist attraction, notably seen by the shops and hotels near Edinburgh Castle but it has been dated back that humans lived in the castle as far back as the 9th Century.

Walking City and Country: Edinburgh
Big city life means relying on public transportation, living cheek to jowl with your neighbours, and never knowing quiet what actual quiet sounds like. While this can be invigorating and part of the energy living in an urban environment, sometimes a little outdoor time is needed and your inner naturalist needs to be nurtured.

The Most Important Meal of the Day in Costa Rica
In Costa Rican, breakfast is the great leveler. It is the most egalitarian and universal of cultural experiences.

Returning to the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean Sea is a place that many dream of seeing, and rightfully so. It is one of the most beautiful seas that this planet has to offer. The water, in most places, is just the right temperature to enjoy activities such as swimming, surfing, sailing, water skiing, and almost any other water sport that you can think of. Also, I am unaware of any dangers that lurk below the surface, like many other seas out there. I am sure that they exist, but they rarely present themselves as an issue that one should be concerned about.

It’s Always Sunny in Edinburgh
If “Whisky is liquid sunshine,” as George Bernard Shaw claimed, then Edinburgh has more sunny days a year than any tropical island. The making of whisky is a vital, fascinating, and extremely enjoyable part of the history and culture of the city, and indeed of all of Scotland. Enjoying a dram of whisky is thus an essential part of any trip to Auld Reekie (Old Smoky) as the city is fondly called by some. Indeed, enjoying whisky might not be part of a trip but the entire trip, as tours and attractions that focus on the distilled elixir abound.

Austria’s Minorities
London is an extremely cosmopolitan city. If you have lived in the city for any length of time, it is easy to take its ethnic mix of people living together for granted. Amsterdam, Paris may have sizable minority communities whose origins are outside Europe also, but you cannot compare these cities to London.
So if you are visiting Austria, prepare yourself for what could be a slightly disconcerting feeling if you have always lived in a place where every other person is of a different ethnic background. Do not let your own presumptions before you arrived in the country colour your views of the Austrians however.

The Land Of Butterflies
If you are thinking of taking a gap year from your studies to work abroad, the world is, excuse me for the cliché, but it is true... The world is your oyster.
If you live and work in the United Kingdom, than perhaps you would prefer to travel a bit further afield than Europe. Having said that though, there are countries in Southern Europe which you may consider to be radically different from the Europe you are familiar with.

Visiting Aberdeen and Scotland
Aberdeen is a wonderful city to visit in Scotland because it has a vibrant culture and a rich heritage. It is where Annie Lennox was born and raised and is also where Lawrence of Arabia sought solace after his exploits during the First World War. If you are visiting the city I would certainly suggest that you go on the thirteen castle walk as this twenty-seven mile hike takes you through exquisite countryside and the castles that you see are exceptional. There is also the Glenfiddich distillery nearby where you can sample some of the finest single malt scotches that Scotland has to offer.

Planning a vacation to London includes arriving at one of the busiest UK airport and I am sure that you want to know something more about how to get to and from the airport.

The easiest way to get into the city is by taking a Gatwick Express train. Thus you will arrive at Victoria Station which is the hub for transportation in London. The price of the ticket is £14. You can take a Southern train to Victoria which is cheaper (£9) but it will also take you from 5 to 20 minutes more. You should know that these trains become very crowded in the rush hour.
