Beach, Thai food and Stonehaven

After class on Friday, I had some extra time on my own as Edwin had another class, so I went wandering about Seaton Park which is quite big apparently and normally we just cut through it to reach our school. Apparently Seaton Park has this story which I just found out. Its about the Seaton Park Rapist(s) (who likes girls....and boys!) Once upon a time there were a group of drunk friends who were walking along Seaton Park at night. They decided to tie one of their friends at the tree. The next morning they found him there naked and shouting for help. Well I guess you all know what happened X_X

There is a path that follows the River Don just beside my hall of residences and it leads to the beach! Took me an hour to walk all the way there though haha....luckily its so cold over there so I hardly broke a sweat.

Utilizing my camwhoring abilities!

So many shoes on the tree!

Rainbow by the beach!

The beach board walk that leads all the way to the city centre

Seems like these seagulls have nested here!

Afterwards we went to union street for dinner with the Singapore Society people again at this Thai Restaurant. Recall that I just went to Bangkok where the food was SUPER CHEAP. Well we spent 20 pounds here for this meal which was good but really expensive! Took a couple of photos but forgot to take the rest after I started eating :P

Union Street at night!

Clockwise from bottom left: fried chicken, tomyum, king prawn (which was tiny but gd) and phad thai

The next day which is today, we went to a nearby town, STONEHAVEN by train! (It was just one stop!)

Stonehaven is famous for being the birthplace of fried mars bars, and Dunnottar Castle. The coastal walk was amazing but was actually closed due to some fear of landslide because of the weather. BUT it was quite sunny that day after a little snow the previous night and this morning, so like many fellow tourist we just climbed over the fences and went ahead. And wow what a view it was!

At Dunnottar Castle we met up with some fellow NUS exchange students from Glasgow who was there for a school organized trip and then saw them back in Aberdeen again!

Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat the fried mars bar as we wanted to hitch a ride from an Indian couple we met at the castle back to the train station at stonehaven but they misunderstood it for the city centre at Aberdeen. Oh wells we got to travel for the first time in Aberdeen by car! (and also prevent ourselves from gaining unwanted calories)

Damn sinful!

The boats at the harbour were all marooned due to the low tide!

The city of Stonehaven! (What is edwin trying to do?)

Reach out for the sky~

Dunnottar Castle!

With our fellow NUS engineering friends from glasgow!

Camwhoring skills again!

f***ing beautiful!

Well tomorrow will be Laundry day plus notes reading day, so probably gonna take a short break from blogging! Looking forward to more adventures next week!
