One-day tour of the Scottish Highlands!

-
For my first (and only, so far!) time in Scotland, I stayed mostly in Glasgow because I heard that it was nice and also more affordable than the capital... like staying in Brooklyn instead of New York or in Oakland instead of San Francisco. 

I decided to go on a one-day tour of the Scottish Highlands since there's no other way I would have been able to visit the more remote places on my own and without a car. I went on the "Myths, monsters, and mountains" Rabbie's tour. Absolutely no regrets at all!
Location: Scotland, UK

I haven't flown anywhere in some time... almost exactly three years. I'm very much looking forward to traveling again and am planning to go to Taiwan in a couple of months!

The first step (well, other than deciding where to go!) was to make sure that my passport was okay and not about to expire.

Second step was to buy the plane ticket and then book lodging. On a typical vacation, I'd probably look into what cities or other countries I'd like to visit and book lodging/...

But it was fine) (Not going to mention the airline because I don't like them! Even though the food was okay. I only used them because I had some points but in the end I didn't save any money. Also, if you try searching for Taiwan it populates "Taiwan, China" 😠) Random picture from inside LHR

Elevator conversation

In Taiwan: a nice older lady gets on the elevator. Conversation in Chinese (strangers often speak to each other in elevators there): Older Lady: Have you eaten yet?  Me: oh yes, I've eaten OL: Eat more fruits and vegetables Me: What about you, have you eaten yet? OL: I'm going to go buy bread
