Went to Glasgow yesterday!

As mentioned previously, I have to find things to do to fill the time between now and when I go home. So yesterday morning I took a bus to lovely Glasgow.

 On the way to the bus stop. Foggy Edinburgh!

I feel like it was about time that I went there, considering it's only a little over an hour away by bus and is, by all accounts, an awesome city. I really didn't get that full a picture of it since I was only there for about 7 hours, but I'll be going back there in February for a Spoon concert, which, side note, I am REALLY excited about. Spoon concert in an intimate venue the day after my 21st birthday sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. But I digress.

Anyway, a friend of mine who has been to Glasgow had explained that there's not a whole lot of tourist-y attractions there (such as in the way Edinburgh has the castle, palace, etc.). They do, however, have good shopping, which is what I did. Before I came to the UK, I looked forward to going clothes shopping here because I've always thought of European clothing as stylish and chic, but oh LORD are clothes expensive here. It's ridiculous! Basically my day of shopping really wasn't very successful because any time I found something I remotely liked, I would look at the price tag and think "I could easily find something like this back home for much less, and I go home in a week". But even so, unsuccessfully shopping in Glasgow is better than sitting in my flat in Edinburgh with nothing to do!

Next week I think I might go on a tour of the Highlands. I will update if I do!
