December is finally here again!! Time passes by way to fast, it's already December 2009!! I still feel like is 2006 or 2007. At any case, I've uploaded more photos from my Edinburgh trip. This time I specifically illustrated the great exhibits in the museum of Scotland. It was such a fascinating place to be. So on going with the explanations.
Above: For some reason this statue reminds me of the video that I saw in my British History class. It seems like if this prayer is Elizabeth I. But I can't be certain.
Above: One of the coolest guns I've seen during 15th century in England.
Above: That's an obsolete bell that should be hanged on the clock tower.

Above: Haha, I know the specific name for this harp-like instrument! It's called Clarsach, wire string harp of Gaels of Scotland and Ireland!

Below: Sharp-edged rapier/spears called Beartas an Ealain which I do not know what it means must it must refer to this weapons.

Above: Night view of Waverley Bridge near by the black castle.
Above: In the central part of the city. That looks like the parliament building. I need to check my map again. What's good is that I found a Starbucks in this part of town! Oh do I crave for the drink, just can't resist the aromatic flavours of Starbucks.
