Day 6- Walking tour in Glasgow
Wednesday, October 7, 2009
Took my time to wake up and go for breakfast this morning. Cuz we need to check out by 11am and our bus for London only leave at 11.45pm tonight. The good part is we can save one night accomodation. The bad part is we wont have a proper sleep tonight. Pray that it will be a smooth and safe journey back to London. Suddenly I felt that it is a blessing to have unlimited flow of warm water to shower cuz we have to stay out tonight. Sometimes things are like that, we only treasure things after we lose it and I realised its these small and simple things like having a comfortable bed to sleep on which makes me happy!
Walked to Glasgow School of art and I missed the tour. Then we went to The Tenament House which shows display of a house which was preserved since 1888. I paid £5.50 for my entrance fee cuz my mum wont understand anyway. To my disappointment, it was only a display of two bedrooms and one kitchen! The entrance fee is really expensive. I was quite surprised that they actually built their bed inside a cupboard and the door can only be opened from the outside. There are no lights, window or fans, I think I will suffered from the fear of being locked in a closed atmosphere if I were to live there. Next, we took the underground to Glasgow University and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. The University is the coolest I had ever seen. The museum was very great too, the best part is the entrance is free! I want to go to the Museum of transport too, which entrance fee is also free, but all of it were closed at 5pm. One thing not so good in the European country is that only pubs are available at night! Even the shopping centre closed at 5pm. Back to the topic, the drawing in the museum is fantastic and it was really very educational, definitely worth going to. Well, i guess thats y this place was rich in culture and not so much in Singapore.
Bought sth for dinner on our way back, my mum had Macdonald cuz thats the only food which suits her other than the chinese food. I had some fried mushroom which is nice but oily :( plus one piece of pizza. I can see that my check is bloating up, but u cant blame me for that cuz all the food here are oily! They dont have 果条汤 for me... In Macdonald now and its was cold. I still have three more hours to go. I think I better go out for a walk before the fats accumulate at my stomach.
