 | February 23rd, 2010 at 03:39pm I know there's a museum for the whole Loch Ness Monster thing but couldn't find a price [if it cost that is]
Um the Glasgow Cathedral,Eilean Donan Castle,Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum,The Saint Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art
Not sure if most of them are worth visiting I just like how most of them look  xD
And where ever else you wanna send me lol
idk how long we'll be in Glasgow is the problem =/
I guess since you're from there I can ask you about plane tickets too |

 | February 23rd, 2010 at 03:45pm ask me anything, I should know and the rest I can easily find out
Kelvingrove is a must I'd say. The Musesum of Transport is also really good! The brilliant thing about Glasgow is that all museums/art galleries are free of charge so you might as well go to as many as you can cause it won't cost you anything
If you want cheap but still good places to eat The Ark on Martha street is really good - its right next to the University of Strathclyde (where I go) so its popular with us students. The Counting House on George's Square is popular with both tourists and locals - you can't miss it cause no doubt you'll go to George's Square cause its right in the heart of the city |

 | February 23rd, 2010 at 03:52pm Sounds good =] So basically the only think I'll need to pay for is a souvenir and food lol
I'm actually trying to go without eatting to save money [told you I'm crazy ha] but I'm sure I'll eat something because ppl will bug me to eat xD
My friend wants to fly like the next day after the London show to Glasgow I was looking at tickets but the prices kinda varied my luck it'll be a one way ticket then a damn one way ticket from Glasgow to Paris [I'm sure she's probably thinking that]
So just in case think you can give me a rough estimate on how much a return ticket from London to Glasgow is ? and maybe a one way to Paris too ?
I've only tried looking up bus tickets for places in the UK/France so I'm lost when it comes to planes haha |

 | February 23rd, 2010 at 03:58pm I would try someone like Easy Jet - no thrill air travel but that's why you get a good deal. If you don't mind flying at an awkward time then you can get even better deals - I once got a flight from London for 30p!!!
Try Here
And you must eat! But don't worry that's one thing that Glasgow is good for - cheap but quality food! |

 | February 23rd, 2010 at 04:11pm yeah, its a pain in the arse. If you're going to be using the train a lot you might even be as well as getting a railcard - its £26 for a year (the min you can get) but it saves you 1/3 on your faires - you could always factor it into your expenses and see how it works out |

I was on a site and they suggested that you buy an Oyster card for the bus and stuff,around the city but idk if that was just for London or what it was like £89 for a vistor one =/ |

 | February 23rd, 2010 at 04:28pm you might think you like cheap wine but there is this thing we have in Glasgow known as Bucky - I don't think you can get a cheaper wine but its rank!!!
I just stick with a Southern Comfort and Lemonade - that's my drink. A cider and blackcurrent is student favourite here though |

 | February 23rd, 2010 at 04:34pm Yea what we have is like pfft $5 or something a bottle lol You could drink the whole thing and you wouldn't get drunk because how low the alcohol is.
I usually will mix the peach flavor with coke idk why but it taste good to me lol
The one other thing I really drink is Smirnoff Green Apple Bite they say the are beer on the bottle but I always thought Smirnoff was always Vodka |
