Glasgow

"Glasgow is ful of exciting experiences whether your taste is for Mackintosh or Modern Art, Dinosaurs or Dali, Tall Ship or Tearoom, Science or Scottish Football, Glasgow's got it all!"

That pretty much sums it up. I spent the morning walking around, listening to people talk and trying not to grin because I love me some thick Scottish accent. I actually love it even more than Irish. There is a strange mix of hardness and softness to it, that tugs at my heartstrings and pleases my auditory taste buds. Or maybe I just read a adventure/romance novel or two back in the day, with a dashing Scottish protagonist in a kilt.

After the concert, as I was signing CDs and meeting people, a lady came up to me, beaming and said to my friend: 

'Bloody talented, isshe? Not bad fer a farrreignerr'

:)

We also discovered a marvelous vintage shop where we made some important costume-oriented purchases.  

Tomorrow - Manchester. I get to perform in a cathedral, and I can't wait.

Time travel, love it, big sci fi fan for many years. And yes, you are just young (for the nonce!)but time again will tell how the wanderlust goes. Sounds like a heck of a schedule, hope you get enough rest (nag nag) and good luck with the Chinese language! Thanks for the rain. MDW
