A weekend in Glasgow

It was a gloomy Saturday morning, I’m so eager to pay a visit in Glasgow for the first time. So, together with Rudy and Samson, we drove to the city of Glasgow in the morning. Weather is gloomy and it’s expected to rain as forecasted on TV. In UK, weather forecast is very precise but we didn’t care so much.

We parked our Picasso in Partick, in the suburb of Glasgow. Then I found this little signboard which caught my attention.

We walked from Partick to the University of Glasgow which took us 15 minutes. This university has been around for a few hundred years but its magnificent building architecture is still standing solidly as it is. The following casts consist of Samson the "skinny scatman", Gideon the "Chubby jackass" and Rudy the "Big Chef".

Weather turn out to be the main obstacle of the day. After strolling around the university, we were pinched by rain which went on for the whole day. But the walk has to continue. But I was lucky wearing the right jacket, which is made of water resistant material. So we stopped at a “eat all you can” Chinese buffet restaurant, to re-energize our body. At £6.49, we had our stomach filled with buffet from Asian cuisine including Malaysian food.

After that, we braved ourselves in the rain to some of the lively lanes in Glasgow, somewhere like Bukit Bintang where most shops are offering major price slashing on their items. I didn’t hesitate to buy for myself a pair of hiking shoes at a modest price of £21.

We came to know a grocery shop owned by a Malaysian guy, who has been a UK citizen now. There we got a lot of Malaysian products from spices to sauces. Although I didn’t manage to utilize my camera due to the bad weather, it was a fruitful day.
