glasgow, scotland: may 2005

i arrived at glasgow by taking a bus from edinburgh, and stayed at the scottish youth hostel. pardon my uninterested face.
along the river, as in any other city, bridges span the length of the river.
some lucky sights i managed to chance upon was this flea market near the bridge.
where i made a new friend!
and a random procession nearing the city centre.
here's a picture of the shopping streets, where you have disney, levis and the likes.
at the city centre, there's st mungo's cathedral with its characteristic black walls and greenish roof.
visit the museum for more information on the place as well.
and here's a 3d map of the buildings within walking distance of each other.
george's square with its own stash of pigeons and statues.
and finally food! scottish favourite haggis.
and this is how it looks like inside, with sheep intestines, barley and oat. meant to give farmers an extra boost in energy.
of course not forgetting the fried mars bar. which should really be eaten warm for maximum satisfaction.
and yes the train took me back to good old london which was my base for my europe trip.
