			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, time to post the story of Scotland trip because I&#8217;m lazy update here since this trip already passed 2 week ago haha. Me and my friends had a Scotland trip for 4days started on 15 July 2009. Definitely we need to skip class because it&#8217;s impossible to have 4days straight holiday <img src='http://unclechan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  . Scotland is a country that part of United Kingdom and just located north of the England. We are going to Scotland by this rental car, Vauxhall &#8211; Corsa 1.4 with 5 door.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/unclechandotcom/CIMG0927_VauxhallCorsa14.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>Our racing car, 烈火战车!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/unclechandotcom/CIMG0928.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>You can&#8217;t see Vauxhall car in Malaysia <img src='http://unclechan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  . This is the cheapest rental car for below 25years old. It cost us 215pound for 7days include insurance and an extra driver. For those above 25years old can get a cheaper price. Don&#8217;t know why have the 25years old rule <img src='http://unclechan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif' alt=':???:' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/unclechandotcom/CIMG0929.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>We rent this car from Arnold Clark, one of the car rental company in United Kingdom. We drive this car more than 1000km within 7days !</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/unclechandotcom/DSCN7169.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>This is a manual gear car. They prefer manual gear more than automatic gear car, weird. It is right-hand side drive (same with Malaysia) but the corner signal is on left hand side and sweeper on right hand side. Be careful, there are many speed limit camera in England !</p>
<p>On the way to Edinburgh &#8211; the capital city of Scotland. From picture below, It&#8217;s 7.48am morning and 15 Celsius. A bit raining on that day. It took about 4 hours from Liverpool to Edinburgh. Do research on the route with Google Earth before start your trip, it really helpfully and accurately. All the road sign are same with Malaysia, only one difference is they using &#8216;Mile&#8217; while Malaysia use &#8216;Kilometer&#8217;.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/unclechandotcom/CIMG0708.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>Finally we reached Edinburgh. Take some pictures first. Train station down there.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/unclechandotcom/CIMG0720.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>This bus exactly same with Liverpool city sightseeing bus, just the word &#8220;Edinburgh&#8221; different. <img src='http://unclechan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/unclechandotcom/CIMG0721.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p>This is the main street named High Street at Edinburgh old town, all tourist come here. A lot of souvenir can be found here.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/unclechandotcom/CIMG0722.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></p>

<p>Edinburgh really a nice place and worth to visit <img src='http://unclechan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  . I recommended stay at Edinburgh for at least 3 days if you planned to visit here. Unfortunately we just stay for 2 days and not enough time to fully explore Edinburgh.</p>
