Update: covid has passed from House Kakibot

[@waynesabados4048]

Glad you both have come through and are now well. We visited end of March/early April 2019. Wonderful time of year - not busy and refreshing to see the city wake up and bloom after a long winter.

[@saanascorner9675]

We will be arriving in Ediburgh in under two weeks and I am so excited😍 It looks soo much more spring-y there than it does here in Finland.😍

[@Jordan-inJapan]

“The weather that you see in those shots is not fully representative…” I appreciate your honesty. 😆 That said, it still does look like a nice time to visit. Not so different from where I live in Japan, I guess. (Maybe a few degrees warmer here..?) Anyway, I appreciated the cool images and chill music. 🍻

[@Kakibot]

I really need to force myself to go shooting on all those super windy, wet, grey days... but... it is hard to find any motivation to do that .D Where in Japan do you live?

[@Jordan-inJapan]

@@Kakibot Wet grey days…sounds like where I’m originally from (Vancouver, Canada). Now I live in Mie prefecture, central Japan. (A rural area between Nagoya and Osaka…and the location of Japan’s most important Shinto shrine.) If you’re ever in the area, let me know! I can recommend somewhere interesting (cafe, brewpub, market?) to check out. 🍻

[@Kakibot]

@@Jordan-inJapan Sounds good! Once they let me back to Japan I will likely want to spend the whole 3 months that tourist visa allows there haha. Mie seems nice, plus how convenient to be sandwiched between two city-heavy areas without having to actually live in one!

[@michellerutten4412]

We just missed that streak of sunny days when we visited the past week 🥲 It was cold but we were pleased we didn't get rained on so much! Thank you for all the videos and content you make about Edinburgh, it has really been a great help exploring the city ❤️

[@blethersy9206]

Aw I thought you sounded like you had covid as soon as you spoke. I hope you feel loads better soon. Thanks for helping entertain me while I’m self-isolating.

[@bill3117]

Glad to know your feeling better! Thanks to your series I feel I'm ready for every kind of weather and fun this coming May!!!

[@chloebishop814]

Top tip, if you are going up to Edinburgh Castle and feel you can't do the walk up the hill, please tell them, the Castle offers a careers ticket option also, if you you have that or if your struggling they do have a car service that will on less busy days drive you up to the Castle and museum up there. Staff are amazing and are really happy to get I need to start a how to get around these cities if you have mobility issues blog 😀 😊 thanks for your vidios .. Now I just have to find some friends that will come with me to the fringe in August,

[@Kakibot]

That's a great tip! I have been thinking about making a video about accessibility in Edinburgh with a friend of mine who's interested in that topic - so I'll definitely keep this in mind if when I get to it! .)

[@aimeejohns3718]

Love that sweater!!

[@macandfire5477]

She really has found her look

[@NathanWind99]

This is perfect for me because I'm going to visit Glasgow and Edinburgh in March. Great idea to do a month by month series.

[@wilma2282]

Wow March looks sunny enough for me! Hopefully it will be warmer and more verdant and colorful End of March this year coz that’s my plan!

[@shanchat]

Well somebody was on the roof terrace at the NMS. :) . Great views from up there.

[@NickiNewellArt]

That streak of sunny weather was SO nice! Loved your calming lovely footage in this vid.💛

[@dianacasey6002]

Daylight saving is great for tourists I loved it you can go and see so much.

[@Zamode68]

Glad you are now Covid free. I’m still having a slight time adjusting to the time change but it is greatly welcome. They are talking about trying to abolish it next year in the US. Envious of your blossoming trees and flowers. Bulbs are just coming up here and of course the weeds and the thorns are growing first. Take good care of yourself and enjoy Easter!

[@rivelitojunior]

Every video that I watch in this channel makes me more excited about visiting Edinburgh

[@Kakibot]

Yusssss that’s the dream!!

[@rivelitojunior]

​@@Kakibot Already bought the tickets to go on march with my wife 😍

[@IzzyInMiami]

Please continue this series ❤️❤️❤️ I’m planning a trip for next year and am looking forward to the next coming months.

[@Kakibot]

It's absolutely on the agenda! Only 4 to go to finish the whole year! .)

[@engineerskitchenworld5187]

We visited during 2nd week of March nice weather, I love city 👏

[@elizabethmckown2156]

So glad the COVID has left your home. I too was hit with the COVID stick two weeks ago. As I will be traveling to Edinburgh at the end of the month I am glad (if that’s possible) that it hit me in March instead of days before my planned arrival. I look forward to your next video, although by that time I will be in Scotland!

[@NickiNewellArt]

I LOVE your jumper!

[@NemoMangelk]

I got covid in Feb/March too. I was fortunate that my symptoms were not so bad. But, all in all I'm glad to be over it and feel a lot more relaxed about avoiding catching it. Hope you recover quickly and are asymptomatic

[@Kakibot]

It was pretty rough for the first 4 or 5 days but thankfully after that it quickly faded out like a cold would! Glad to hear your experience was mild and I totally agree that it gives one a bit of a reprieve from having to be anxious ALL. THE. TIME. when going out.

[@NemoMangelk]

@@Kakibot I would love a video (unless you have one already) on the most posh suburbs in Edinburgh. Also, which ones have the really nice Georgian architecture.

[@catherinewilson3880]

I have Covid too. It does actually seem as though everyone in Edinburgh has Covid at the moment.

[@iancampbell6925]

Amazing and no cold or flue at all.

[@estherng1038]

Do you have any recommendations on where to get good hot cross buns for good value?

[@RobsShinyDex]

Ill be in Edinburgh on May 5th is that usually a warm week. Is it rainy? I love your Nessie plush in the back! Where did you get it!

[@Kakibot]

May tends to be one of the nicest months in Edinburgh, but of course with Scotland one should always be ready for quick changes in weather! It's unlikely to be cold cold but it might very well be colder than what you expect (because the wind does cool you down a lot). Hope you have a great time!

[@adrijamitra7867]

I'm visiting Edinburgh in March this year. It's early March and I'm worried about the weather. I'm visiting on 8th March, and I'm wondering if the travel will be good.

[@Kakibot]

I think for locals, March can be particularly bad because it FEELS like it should be getting nicer and often it isn't just yet. But you might luck out - I definitely remember many beautiful March days! Visiting Scotland asks for a zen-like ability to just not mind whatever weather hits you. After all Edinburgh looks beautiful in the rain! Just be wind-proof! .) I'm sure you'll have a great time.

[@adrijamitra7867]

@@Kakibot Thanks for the suggestion 💜

[@robynnparker1455]

Wow! I didn't realize the UK had daylight savings time also. Also you guys don't celebrate St Patrick's Day?

[@Kakibot]

Aaaah St Patrick's day! I forgot about that. But I wouldn't say Scots really celebrate it. I mostly see Irish pubs setting up events (unsurprisingly) but otherwise it's not really something you would notice much in the streets like you might in Irish/American cities .)

[@robynnparker1455]

@@Kakibot Ya here in the states, everybody's Irish on st. Patrick's Day!

[@ayrespower]

Hello, great videos! Question, my wife and our twin boys (4 of us in total) are planning on moving there this Fall for school. We are in our mid twenties and our boys are currently almost a year old. Do you or could you make a video regarding moving there with young children? Are there months where you probably couldn't take them out as it would be too cold? Thank you for your help! We just started looking so any help would be awesome!

[@Kakibot]

Hi Frederico! Congrats on the future move! .) Small kids - wise: I have a friend who moved here last fall with a toddler (so just a bit older than your twins, I believe she's about 2 and a half years old now), and she was able to go out just fine over the winter - the trouble in Edinburgh is mostly the biting wind rather than cold itself. I'd invest into some really wind proof baby attire! (Some days it will most definitely be so windy you will probably be a bit scared to take your kids out though. But those are days when we are all quite worried to leave the house x) ) Another thing that gets tricky with kids is that the extremes in when the sun goes up and down in Scotland seem to mess with their sleeping schedules - so from what I gathered, some good blackout curtains will be a godsend!

[@NickiNewellArt]

Hi, don't mean to barge in but I just moved here with my husband and 2yr old fall of 2021 (I am the friend Kakibot was mentioning). I don't have a video about it but would be happy to answer some questions and pass on some knowledge if I can. About certain months where it is too cold to take them out, I wouldn't say there are full months (haven't been here long), because there are days where even though it is cold the sun comes out and it's beautiful. The wind is killer so I have seen some kids have these like coverall things that are like a coat with feet. I keep meaning to get one for my daughter so she can still be out when it's rainy and not get her clothes wet. I will say it gets dark really early in the winter, as Kat mentioned. So there were some days that if we didn't go out before her afternoon nap we missed all the sun.

[@ayrespower]

@@Kakibot Great, thanks for the tips!

[@ayrespower]

@@NickiNewellArt awesome, thanks for the info!

[@chloebishop814]

Just been to Edinburgh it was beautiful, we had sun, snow hope to get the van done up so we can explore more of Scotland. We did regular rapid flow test things before we left and after London etc. And when we got back. I'm so greatful we finally got to visit this beautiful city

[@Kakibot]

Glad to hear things worked out for you AND you managed to stay healthy! Also sounds like you really witnessed the full spectrum of our weather! Haha.

[@kimreese3530]

Are you still engaged and planning a wedding? I notice you didn’t have your ring on.

I just wear it on the "wrong" hand, but it's there! .)
