Glasgow

I'm in Glasgow! I'll be in this city for the 10 weeks. On first glance, it's a small city with some of the charm of London and less crowded. I like that because I hate crowds. Of course, with an apartment and corporate card provided by the company, who doesn't like it.


The apartment looks nicely furnished but some of the fixtures are not practical! In the toilet, the bathtub doesn't have a shower curtain and showerhead. It only has a tap! WTF right! One of the lights in the en-suite bathroom is out which makes it look very dim and the 2nd bedroom is empty. There's no bed and how am I going to invite my friends over!

I spent the first day in the city recovering from my jet-lagged and managed to make it to Marks & Spencers which is just down the street to get my groceries. My first meal in Glasgow is a Marks & Spencer Beef Roulades meal. It is good! Tasty and delicious. I'm going to have as many M&S meal as possible!

I woke up late the next day and I didn't make it for the Glasgow Show... damn it. So I went for a walk ard the city and 30mins later, I decided to eat in the cafe just right next to my apartment. It doesn't serve the best food, the English Breakfast wasn't fantastic but it's a nice place to hang out for 30mins to 1 hour to read the newspaper over a cup of coffee. It's not Borders with the Starbucks - it's not commercialised at all, just a nice and quieter place to eat down and read the papers. I kinda like it.

Ended the afternoon with 2 pints of beer in the pub across the street watching Arsenal vs Celtic. Nothing much though the waitress is kinda cute... I'll definitely go back there again!

Time to unwind, heat up the M&S Seafood Caserole meal and iron my clothes for tomorrow.
