Edinburgh is wonderful. The only downside to it is that it's freaking cold during the winter and I dislike the very limited daylight hours during winter. Other than that, it's got good people, loads of things to do and places to go, decent pay, expensive housing prices but you can get around that - half a dozen initiatives to allow lower income people to get onto the housing ladder were started in this region over the past five or so years, and I'm on one of them myself. The festivals are also great - the film festival (including world/UK premieres of such films as Wall-E and the Edge of Love) just finished but the real fun will begin in August when the city doubles in population (literally, due to tourism) as the world's largest arts festival rolls into town, and the streets fill with quality buskers and so forth. It's a
beautiful city to be in, too, with good public transport at a decent price. Hooray!
