A Busy Day for Edinburgh

TrafficEdinburgh roads ( mainly Princess street) are going a major revamp to give way to the tram. Today when I was returning from shopping at st. James’ center, I saw many barricades erected, in addition to the already existing ones. There were many traffic management vans and traffic people, to create new routes for buses and pedestrians.

Then there was the usual Farmers’ Market, although This is the first time I got there. They have some interesting stalls which sell organic foods.

Near the St. James shopping center some people from the socialist party were holding protest against the bombing of Gaza by Israel. When I returned from shopping I found Women in Black at the same place and they were there for the same cause. I signed a pettition to urge the government to intervene in the ongoing assult.
