Back from MIA

Long time no see, I'm back to blogging!

Let's talk about my trip to this other side of the world. First stop, London Stansted airport.


After a long non-stop 15-hour flight from KL, I finally landed in London Stansted....without any jetlag (lucky me!) Waited a few hours before my next flight to Glasgow, to be welcomed by Wei Ven who was hiding behind one of the columns at the airport (and she thought I couldn't notice her?!) =.=




It was already about 9-10pm then. And it was raining and windy and cold, but I was sweating from carrying my luggages and wearing 2-3 layers. We took the bus to Kelvinhaugh, the place she was staying....after some chit chat and a quick bath we started to relax and enjoy HK drama....



....and also Ben & Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream!


Had a good night's sleep after that. Next morning we toured around Kelvinhaugh and Glasgow - the largest city of Scotland. 


The University of Glasgow....magnificent!!


You can find statues everywhere


I love walking down streets like this, feel very relaxed, calm and peaceful...


We went through this gate to the University....obviously this isn't the main entrance (and the metal gate actually reminds me of Halloween)


University of Glasgow - awesome view


The 'award-winning' picture on Facebook - poser yet to be given the award





Inside the University


There's the famous red telephone in the University!



Nice view =D


Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum - didn't manage to get in coz we were there before its opening time


Went back home to get our luggage as we had to take the bus to Edinburgh in the afternoon....and so we 顺便 SS 一下

Dragging our luggages we took the bus to Glasgow city centre and then to Buchanan bus station to store our big luggages in the locker. Then we had brunch....


Sauces are free in the UK!



Shared the big Scottish breakfast with Wei Ven, which included: eggs, black pudding, tattie scones, bacon, fried tomato, baked beans, toast, mushrooms...yummy!

We then walked around the city though it was raining (hence the dark sky in the pics).




The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall



George Square


Gallery of Modern Art



one of the art pieces inside the Gallery



Buchanan Galleries....a shopping centre!

Soon it was time for us to catch the bus to Edinburgh...tickets only cost us 1 pound each coz Wei Ven bought them earlier =) Bid farewell to Glasgow and say hello to Edinburgh....stay tuned for my next post!
