Christmas and New Year in Edinburgh (Hogmanay)

爱丁堡的圣诞节和新年

 

 

 

 

同一片月光下, 千里明月寄乡思!!

 

 

 

 

Are you kidding? It is still November, 2007, Christmas is still far away. However, today when I walked through the street, I found Christmas was everywhere in the city centre of Edinburgh.

 

今天上街, 很是惊讶!! 没搞错吧, 圣诞节还有一个多月, 在爱丁堡的王子街(Princess Street)圣诞节已经到来了!

 

 

 

 

The streets are lit with spectacular Christmas lights. The Traditional German Christmas Market returns, the Edinburgh Wheel starts spinning, the ice is frozen on Edinburgh's Winter Wonderland (one of Britain’s largest outdoor ice rinks) and there are shows, pantomimes, exhibitions, storytelling, craft workshops, sporting events, Santa's grottoes and so much more !

 

 

德国风味的夜市, 摩天轮, 旋转木马, 绑紧跳, 特大溜冰场 (英国最大之一)!! 还有可爱的雕塑娃娃!

听说还有几千个圣诞老人穿着苏格兰短裙一起跑步!!! 偶也!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

爱丁堡的除夕聚会Hogmanay)规模盛大, 1231号这晚的街头派队真是热闹(要收门票20),现场音乐表演,音乐会和晚12:00的焰火狂欢更把节日的气氛推向顶点,有成千上万的游客从世界各地慕名而来, 一票难求! 酒店都找不到!
