Escape the city
by fluffybunny
Glasgow is wonderful but if it's the buzz of a big city that you are after then your better off to head for London. If you like architecture then it;s wonderful to see the work of Greek Thompson and Renee McIntosh. Glasgow is great for art galleries also and mostly they are not charging entry If you go to Glasgow you must leave the hub of the city and ventuire further out to the outskirts. If your coming to Scotland it's better to come to see the beatiful countryside. Loch Ness is the most famous but Nessie has gone into retirement.
"Sorry"
by cadja
To me, the first thing I noticed was how sorry everyone was. If you stand in the store looking at something and someone wants to pass, THAT person says "sorry" for passing and YOU says "sorry" for standing in the way.
Where I come from we may say "sorry" for passing, but in the situation above I think we'd just say "may I pass" with the reply "sure".
This was just an example, people say "sorry" in all situations imaginable. Sounds nice though, I got used to it very quickly.
Although people gives me peculiar looks nowadays when I automatically use the same phrase here in Stockholm...
The glasgow climbing centre
by blos
This is a climbing wall inside of an old converted church. Lots of routes from beginner to advanced. All the necessary equipment including rockshoes, and harnesses can be rented from the centre. There is a climbing gear shop there aswell. You can bring your own gear or rent it.
This is for those sadists out...
by thunderbox
This is for those sadists out there, or is it masochists? I always get them confused. So, for all those evil people who like to be mean.
They have the equivalent of rickshaws in Glasgow. So, to be really cruel, have your driver wander aimlessly up but never down the hills of Glasgow while eating the equivalent of an adult elephant's weight in haggis.
don't head towards
by sammyE about Sauchiehall Street
Sauchiehall street is definately the place tohead if you want to go on a pup crawl - however be ready to play "dodge the drunk" and shudder at the sight of bear legs and sandles during the coldest of January nights. For a calmer, more sophisticated evening head towards the merchant City
