Edinburgh
I decided to visit Edinburgh because my friend Michael is living there and studying at the university. He did a year internship at Los Alamos National Lab so that's where I met him. I timed my visit really well because there was a huge theater, arts, music, and comedy festival going on in Edinburgh while I was there. As such, Mike went ahead and took care of reserving 5-6 shows for us to see in the 4 days that I was there. It was a pretty jam-packed trip because we toured during the day and then saw shows and had beers in the evening. We saw the castle, climbed the crags although we didn't do arthur's seat, saw the "athen's of the north", went to a crazy optical illusions museum and just wandered. The comedy was pretty good and fun to see. Overall, I really liked Edinburgh and I know that I would've been happy if I had attended my masters there. BUT before my edinburgh pals get high and mighty, I think Utrecht is really perfect as well! Oh another weird thing was playing beer pong there. Mike had invited a few friends to play because they never play it. So it was funny to be doing something so american and typical to me that was so novel to them.
