Born in Lima, Peru. 

From 1 to 2 years old I lived in the USA, but then moved back to Peru until I was 6. Moved to Toronto until 18, and then moved back to Peru. Recently moved back to Toronto.

I am studying to become an English teacher though and want to move to Morelia or the Dominican Republic.

My work will be round the corner from Haymarket station. 

In terms of where I'll be staying, who knows at this point. I've heard getting a flat around the west of Edinburgh isn't as tough as it's made out sometimes.

Not a bad area, we stayed in Roseburn just up from Haymarket and next to Murrayfield Stadium, some nice pubs around there the Roseburn Bar being one of them, you will be close to the Hearts ground in Gorgie, I don't think it would pay to go into one of the pubs near Tynecastle with a Hoops top on. xD

Roseburn Bar, we lived in a nice flat to the right of the photo, me and the wife had many a pint in that pub years back.

Do you know where the Lloyds banking building is John? Opposite a Tesco express? Went to work in that building a few years back when I use to work for the bank.

They are everywhere in Edinburgh buddy all over the place, can't say if any are near a Tesco's or not, the main Lloyds is Edinburgh near Princess Street but I don't know if there is a Tescos Express next to it.

Strange q but do we have any members (active) from Africa on the forums? Can't seem to remember running into any.

Wasn't that one lad, Mo, from Egypt?

Or maybe I just think he was from Egypt now because we've got a player named Mo Salah xD

"But Gonzo, Egypt ISN'T Africa!!!!"

As much as that's been used it never ever gets old. FYI to the person that started this all my question was genuine.

My answer was genuine as well. I'm pretty sure that Mo was either from Egypt (Africa) or he was from Oman (not Africa lol)… or somewhere in the Middle East that wasn't Saudi Arabia. But I think he was Egyptian. No idea though now that I think about it more.

@Stan and I were Nigerian for a World Cup though

Oh I thought were were going back to the its not African thing that occasionally finds its way back up now and then. Never really ran into Mo. 

Going by that World Cup I'd be half Swiss which when I look on it now isn't half that bad.

As a history lover you really can't beat Edinburgh as far as Scotland goes. I love Glasgow, but it was a relatively minor town before the industrial revolution and you're hard-pressed to find more than a handful of sites in from before the Victorian era. 

Edinburgh is absolutely bursting with places relevant to some of the key moments in our history like the conflicts of the mid-1600s and the Scottish Enlightenment. Glasgow was actually almost as important in the Enlightenment, but the old university site is gone and the city is nothing like it was in the 1700s. With Edinburgh, you can walk down some streets and know you're in surroundings that Adam Smith or David Hume would recognise.
