Roomies

So today marked the end of my hostel stays, had roommates from all over the world..

British..
My first night at Edinburgh, I ended up sharing a 4 bed room with a British girl. It is so weird sharing a room with just one person of the opposite gender. Didn't get much chance to talk to her, being still jet lagged and going to bed pretty early. It turned out that she talks in her sleep!

Brazilian..
The next few nights on Skye was spent with David, carol and a Brazilian named evandro. He flew all the way from brazil to learn English at a school in Edinburgh. Thought he was rather weird at first but turned out he's pretty alright.

Romanians..
Only met them late in the evening when I returned to Edinburgh. By the time I got back from the queen's concert screening, they were asleep and woke up at 2am to catch a flight

Swiss..
This two fellows were so funny. They bought a stack of postcards (like 60) and spent the whole evening writing back to their family and friends about their experience in Scotland. In this age, it is rare to see people still writing post cards, and enjoyed so much at doing so.

Pakistani..
Turned out my newcastle roommate was doing his phd in Cardiff and dropped by Newcastle university for research. Found out he has a 14 month old baby back in Pakistan. Must be very hard to be away from the family, and he still has 2 more years in uk..

All in all. It was a good experience, meeting people from all walks of life, but for now, it's time to enjoy having a bathroom for myself :)
