Large image: it will take sometimes
Well, since it will take me forever to get this done, I will just split the travelogue into 2 portion. (1) the Aberdeen visits and (2) the London calling. :)
We spent 2 nights in Aberdeen and while hubby is working I do all touristy stuffs and also shop. First thing, get a map and started to explore the city. The busiest street in Aberdeen is the Union Row St. where hubby's office also located at. The whole stretch of the road looks somehow similar. In case u didnt know, Aberdeen is famous for 2 things. 1. its granite. All building in Aberdeen is constructed by granite.

| some of snapshots early morning in the city |
Every single one and its super nice classic just how i imagine Scotland will be. Anyhow the granite industry has long stopped and I did get a chance to see the mining area which is now closed(somehow scary looking 500ft below) and those surrounding area now is developed into the house of all the giant multinational Oil & Gas player. The second (2) famous remark for Aberdeen, the city of oil and gas these days. The city is by the sea, there's busy port with vessel and ships carrying supplies of gas and what not.

I took the chance to visit Aberdeen Tourist Information Centre and they actually arranged a private tour for me for only 7quid. Blessed u. So, this almost 3 hours tours see me circling the city, witnessing its nice landmarks, parks, univercity, the old city, the oldest bridge, the farm, the golf town and etc. Some of the nice shots which very mesmerizing

And I had a chance to had dinner here with hubby. Nazma. Its one fo the best scottish restaurant and top 30 eateries in UK. Beriani dia kebaboom....
Part of the tour and eating and etc, off course I went crazy in Marks & Spencer, Primark, Debenhams all those UK shops nih la. No picture sbb dah busy kan....:) Put that aside lah. But overall I love this small chic town. Anyhow its super duper cold and in case we stayed another 2 days we may get to see the snow.

| Jakun la kejap masuk M&S bertingkat2 nih kan |

byk beli baju kids dlm nih...x sedar 2 diri

And in case u happened to be tersesat here, u can always spend ur early night in Union Square. All shops open till 8 pm. Adalah life compared to others shop which all closed at 6pm. (shopping tips ni). So this is where hubby and I will be menghabiskan our early night. Ada Zara, H&M, Next, Apple store, M&S, Dorothy Perkins, Clarks and few more shops. So kira just nice nak merepek dlm nih. The best part, its attached with the train station. I am this close nak pi Edinburg siang tuh hehehehe 75mins aja..And there's taxi stand nearby so teruslah cabut ke hotel bila poket dah kering & perut dah kenyang.

| last minutes merembat...tak sedar diri badan dah penat and sejuk nak mati.... |
I think this kind of conclude my Aberdeen portion. I will continue with my London soon...
