Edinburg was one of the best cities I have ever visited. The people are the best there. I visited it twice once with a tour group for 3 days. I saw Edinburgh Castle and walked the streets of Edinburgh which is a very enjoyable place to walk around and view all the city has to offer. One night of our tour while everyone else was resting for the next day I snuck out and took a taxi into Edinburg from Dumfermline, I went into the city with hopes of finding some good nightlife, and it didn’t dissapoint, I went into a pub and had a orange and vodka as they call a screwdriver in the UK and I met some local Scots. Immediately I had friends who invited me to join them as they took me to a few pubs and a club which was awesome. I ended up paying alot for a taxi back to Dunfermline but it was well worth it to me. The other time I went was Y2K the MILLENIUM for Hogmanay or the New Year’s Celebration. I can honestly say that it was the best night of my life so far. We walked the streets of Edinburgh from sundown to sun up that night, me and my Air Force buddies went to all kinds of pubs and then to the main celebration on High Street, we were dancing with the local people in the streets, there was music performances, there was a concert going on up near the castle, the atmosphere was so alive and vibrant, you could feel the energy of the city and it’s people. Then after the great fireworks, A girl grabbed me and started kissing me, then all throughout the night as we walked the streets, all the girls that passed by kissed me, as is the custom I learned. A custom that I think we all should adopt LOL, and I must say, most of the ladies in Edinburg are beautiful women.

I was stationed in England two years in the Air Force at RAF Lakenheath, two hours north of London. From the moment I got off the plane I felt comfortable there, like it was a place that I belonged, maybe because I am part English and it feels good to be back on land where your ancestors are from. I loved being in England, from the history, to the architecture of the buildings, the people, the pubs, and great nightlife it’s a great country to visit or live.I traveled quite a bit when I was in England, visiting Stonehenge and Salisbury, York, London,Cambridge, the East Coast, Dover Castle etc. I was 22 when I was in England and I loved the nightlife, I spent most weekends dancing the night away at DeNiros a club in NewMarket. I also visited other clubs around England, and went to Ministry of Sound in London once. I got into the music, Trance, Hardhouse, House, Drum and Bass etc. When I got back to the States I wanted to be a DJ.I miss those days. Getting into the club music In England also made me aware of Ibiza and I hope to get there someday.

A few reasons I would recommend visiting my city is if your coming to our State Fair, which is one of the best State Fairs in the Midwest. Another one is the races, Indy 500, Brickyard 400. It’s also a good city to raise kids, relatively low crime rate. On the other hand, the night life is much to be desired after being in Europe and even a few other States where the nightlife was much better. I only live here because of family is here and my job for now, but would love to get out of this state. If you come to the State Fair, don’t forget to get some Corn:)
