Glasgow

Trip day 13

A rather uneventful but relaxing day in Scotland. Just walking around Glasgow, lots of nice shops including several record stores. Saw numerous DJ CD systems with integrated mixers as cheap as $300 CDN. No need to buy expensive vinyl with one of these. At a food court I struck a conversation with a girl reading L.M. Montgomery's Rainbow Valley.Edinburgh tomorrow.

Trip day 12

Now in beautiful Scotland, Glasgow to be exact. The day started at 4:30AM in Paris, checking out, catching the RER to Paris Gare Nord then onto Charles de Gaulle. Terminal 3 is where EasyJet flies out of, a barren warehouse with seats. The flight was 30 minutes late leaving making me worry I'd miss my London-Luton to Glasgow flight, but the consistency of EasyJet's tardiness allowed me to catch the Glasgow flight easily. If you have a short fuse, don't fly EasyJet.
Glasgow reminds me of Halifax. The streets are full of students and the atmosphere is a bit more light than the places I've visited so far, more like home. I'm staying at the EuroHostel which is located right in the middle of the action. It has nine floors, it has a hotel feeling. My room has four beds with en-suite bathroom. The bottom floor houses the Osmosis bar, word has it it is very popular. Tonight they have funk house DJ's on tap so I may make an appearance.
While things are moving along here at a tourist's pace, Radio@UPEI is hustling away without me on the ECMA's. So far the coverage has been top-notch, I'm sure they will capture some gems.
All of my gems are still trapped on my camera and mp3 player. It has been impossible to find a functional computer.
