Hello, my lovely learners, and welcome to Easy Stories in English,
the podcast that will take your English from OK to good and from good to great.
I am Ariel Goodbody, your host for this show.
Today's episode is a conversation about my cousin's wedding in Edinburgh,
my Japanese exam and tourism in London.
As always,
the transcript and PDF are available at easystoriesinenglish.com and you can find the link to that in the description.
So yes, as if starting a new job,
going to a party in Cambridge and preparing to move to China weren't enough,
a few weekends ago I also took the four and a half hour train from London to Edinburgh,
the capital of Scotland, for my cousin's wedding.
Now, I talked a lot about weddings last year when there was my sister's wedding.
I have a big family.
My mum has seven siblings.
Well, it's big by European standards anyway.
So, I was excited for the wedding, but I was also tired.
I was so exhausted going up there and stressed.
So, key context.
Edinburgh, when I was growing up, was a popular city for students.
it wasn't this really popular tourist destination.
