Aye Scotland

The highlight of our trip to Glasgow? Mich, Zuhi and I standing on the pavement
1) screaming and laughing in some sort of bewildered frenzy,
2) hanging on for dear life to our flapping upturned brollies,
3) clothes and hair flying everwhere,
4) rain and wind flying everwhere, and
5) Michelle's super loud laughter. MATCHLESS!

Our camera shy host

Junk food! Can you tell what the pakoras are made of?

We also made sure to take a day trip to Edinburgh, which everyone says is a beautiful city...

In the second picture you can see Zhi Hui standing on the steps of a bridge that connects the main station to the town centre. The view is really pretty there. At one end is the Edinburgh Castle, the government offices and the train station. At the other end is the Edinburgh Gallery and the town centre. Also, the bridge is built over the railway station so you'll be looking down onto in and outbound trains. Add lots of trees, flowers and other forms of fauna into the picture and you will not believe how awesome it feels taking in the sights as you stroll along the bridge. The view was just too overpowering for my little Nikon.

On our last night, after days of living on cheap take away dinners, we celebrated by dining at a posh eatery called The Ubiquitous Chip. The decor was chic du jour - stone walls and creeper plants, and a mezzanine level for the brasserie. The ground floor was for formal dining, and everyone was dressed to the nines except for us.

And THIS is the reason we missed our train back to London!


We caught a bus the very next day. The journey was NINE bum stiffing hours long.

Finally, here's a video that I shot in Mich's flat...
