The weather in Glasgow is not cooperating with us. I thought when people said it always rains here, it was like saying its always windy in Chicago. Not so much. The outdoor Radiohead show starts in an hour and it looks like we'll be soaked. But who's complaing, we're in Scotland! :)
Actually, there is something to complain about. Maybe you're wondering why there aren't any pictures with the post? Well yesterday, as we explored the city on 10 minutes sleep, somehow we lost the camera- or someone swiped it (sorry mom, we'll buy you a new one). If it was the later, it seems a freak occurence, because the Glaswegians have been so friendly. And the accent! I think a lot of people here speak english interchangably with gaelic, like spanglish. We met some guys last night who tried to teach us some of it. They said if anyone messes with us, say "macashow". And what would that mean? Its gaelic for "f-you". I think I'll run right out and try it now...
Some other fun facts about Glasgow-
- their most popular soft drink is called "Irn-Bru". It tastes like carbonated bubblegum. Gross.
- you know how we always like to drink "forgein" beers? They love the MGD. Gross.
- fried potatoes are not french fries, they are chips. ok.
Hope you enjoyed this installment of "Travel with Jamie and Brett". more later. I used a lot of "quotes" in this post, didn't I? :)
