How was the price? It was awefully expensive when I went there. 

      Simple hamburger and a coke was over 10  pounds. 

      Ireland was somewhat  poor at that time. It was 2005. Now maybe

      better.  I took golf tour with my C.C. friends.  We played all British

      Open courses in Scotland and a few in Ireland for 12 days. We stayed in

      the hotel that overlooking the 18th hole green of  St. Andrew old course.

      It was a memorable trip. The pictures of Edinburgh  you posted brought back 

      the old memories.

     I went London in 2002. I visited Wimbledon tennis court. It was

     very different from what I saw on TV. TV pictures gave me 

     grandiose idea. It was rather shabby. We dined in Korea town.

     I was surprised that so many Koreans living in London.

     Then we came to Paris. I would say if Paris was very romantic,

     London was stoic. 

     Thank you.

Prices are still awfully expensive, like in any other European countries.

I envy you for your awsome golf trip. I hope some day I could do the same.

I could not play golf this time, although I played in Ireland a few years back.

Unfortunately I was soaked and wet in rain, and that's all I remember.

   Edinburgh produced Charles Darwin. Scotland is famous for "Ould Lang Sayne" by Robert

   Burns. It is too early to be the end of the year, but I would like to present you with

Thank you. It is a beautiful song.

But I have a mixed feeling that Auld Lang Syne was the origin of the Korean National Anthem,

although it was modified by Ahn Iktae.

National anthem should be more progressive and energetic, instead of sad and regressive.

I guess it was the predominant emotion of Korean people under Japanese oppression.
