Buchanan Street, Glasgow

Discount store that's always packed with people trying to find good deals. I found really nice stuff that's was cheap (for the UK) - still expensive when you compare it from back home.

It's funny that the sale prices is what we'd pay in Canadian dollars not pounds! Really nice clothes in the UK but very expensive.

One of the Glasgow's famous & most crowded street is known as "Buchanan Street".From shops to Musuems you can find anything around this street. Packed with shopping malls & markets its a real shopping Heaven for the locals & tourists. The most expensive of all the mall is Argyll Arcade.But Like me if You believe in Quality than Quantity then you should pay a visit. You can also find the Museum of Modern art on this street as well as the main Bus Station in Glasgow.
