On Places I've Lived: I Moved to Glasgow for Love

@deana I live in Thurso in the Scottish highlands now, for work, but my parents live in Sandyhills, a suburb to the East of the city. I lived in anniesland for a while. I know Partick well, as I went to the University of Glasgow. Fun to read a foreigners perspective of my hometown :)

On Places I've Lived: I Moved to Glasgow for Love

Ah, Glasgow....my hometown! "Too little sun, too many weekends wasted to hangovers" Absolutely agree. And they do say Glasgow is the biggest village in the world...a small town feel in a massive city.

On It Only Took Me the Whole Terrible Cab Ride to Rationalize Its Expense

I can walk home from the bars in my town, but when I'm out drinking in my hometown I always have to get a taxi back to my parents', as the night buses in Glasgow are pretty dangerous. The fare from the city centre to my parents suburb has ranged from £6 ($10) to £30 (about $50). Crazy.

On Where Have All the Ice Cream Trucks Gone?

The same in Scotland. You see the odd one, but now when you do, you realise how creepy the tunes they play are.

On Standing in the County Line

@madrassoup Very well put. Everyone is struggling for a job now, and going to university and earning a degree is almost the norm, rather than the exception.

On I Really Stretch My Clothing Dollar (And Probably Need New Clothes)

My record is a Curious George tshirt I bought at Universal Studios in 2000. That's rare, though, usually my clothes have a span of 2-3 years, unless it has sentimental value, then it has closet space indefinitely.
