There’s something about the churning sounds of the train speeding on the tracks and the passing beautiful scenery that’s unwillingly hypnotic. The train ride was about 5 hours but the hours flew by with each fascination of spotting sheep, horses and the rest of the rolling hills.

The Scottish say there are treasures hidden at the end of the rainbow arch, and I was sure of the treasure as it was my first time seeing a full rainbow. The rainbow appeared shortly after the sun rain, it was a beautiful day in Edinburgh, not a single cloud in the sky.

The standing ticket at the Opera House cost less than £2 (which is cheaper than a single tube fare!) and are released 80 minutes before every performance. Anyone can enjoy world class opera but it does come with sore feet at the end of the day. I queued early and got myself really good view of the opera with the most high tech subtitle system I’ve ever seen. It was my first opera experience and I loved every second of it. Personally, I feel that musicals are deviation of operas: the singing, the dancing and the monologues really blew me away and what impressed me the most was the set design. I feel that this is what higher art should be about, it’s about the appreciation and not whether you have the money to buy a seat at the opera. Everyone should be able to enjoy world class art on the token of priceless passion! :)
