MY EXPERIENCE IN EDIMBURG







EDINBURGH

Last summer I went to Edinburgh (Scotland) from 3rd to 19th of July (two weeks) and it was a really good experience for many reasons.












I chose a full time English course in the Edinburgh School of English. The course was very interesting becouse the teachers proposed different interactives, motivating and interesting activities. The groups were of eight persons and I frecuently changed of group so I could speak and know people from different nationalities and cultures. In the afternoom there were different activities which were organised by the school such us: going to Arthur´s seat and look at Edinburgh at the very top of the hill, practising Scottish dancing, going to different trips,.....




With respect to my accomodation I stayed in Pollock Hall Residence which was very confortable and its food was really good, it was better than I imagined.

Edinburgh is not a very big city so two weeks are enough time to visit it and if you want you can do it on foot. In Edimburgh you can visit different museuns, go to different trips around the city, visit the Edinburgh Castle, Calton Hill, Holly rRood Palace, St. Giles Cathedral,.........

Scotland also offers different beautiful places to visit so you can go on trip to visit them. I went to Glasgow, Stirling, Loch Lomond, Stirling Castle, High Lands, .......

When you travel to Scotland you learn a lot of about its culture, its people, its weather, its natural enviroments, ...... I invite you to visit it and I´m sure you won´t regret it.
