it's no secret that well, i love scotland and i've never even been to the country. that's right- i've never been to scotland but i've decided that it's the best place to go. i mean where else would you go on vacation? most people would say to a tropical and exotic place, but i say you go to country that just might have worse weather than iowa -and that's saying something. why scotland grace?
number one: their weather is crap for the most part, which is very appealing to me. i'd rather walk around in fifty-degree weather and rain than eighty and sunny. despite
living in los angeles last year, i don't like the sun. i liked grey, dark and miserable.
i'm sure that after living in scotland, i might come to appreciate those occasional sunny days.
number two: i cannot tell a lie-the accent. george washington is rumored to have said
something to that effect. the accent man. i want to marry a scotsman and listen to his accent for the rest of my days on earth. i obviously have to go to this country and find my soulmate.
number three: i just want to live there. not a very valid reason. i've never been there,but i've wanted to move there for the past three or four years.
maybe i romanticize scotland, but i doubt it.
i wouldn't just show up in a random city in scotland without a plan (or maybe i would). i'd love to see the highlands and the seaside, but i want to go to glasgow more than any other place. glasgow is the third largest city in the united kingdom. it has a reputation for being a pretty rough city, but it's also a beautiful city. when people tell me they've been to glasgow, i kind of get a little bit jealous. i've wanted to live around glasgow for a couple of years now. in all honesty, i decided that i would live in this scottish city because i was watching food network and there was a chef from glasgow. i fell in love with his accent and decided that i want to marry a glaswegian. of course, i had to research the city i'm going to move to and find my husband. i've fallen in love with a city i've never actually seen.
what would i do in glasgow?
 |
| the hunterian museum: everywhere i go, i like to find museums. i'm one of those people who loves history. the hunterian is scotland's oldest public museum. it has a collection of roman scotland artifacts. |
 |
| house for an art lover: a home designed by scottish architect and designer, charles rennie mackintosh. |
 |
| the kelvingrove art gallery and museum: another museum in glasgow that has art and natural history. the building itself is simply gorgeous. |

 |
| whole foods giffnock: my dream is to go to foreign whole foods. don't worry, i'm laughing with you. i suck. |
 |

 |
| the hanoi bike shop: a vietnamese restaurant in glasgow. |
 |
| bread meats bread: meat, bread and glasgow. what more could a girl want? |
 |
| babu bombay street kitchen: a restaurant serving indian street food. i used to think i hated indian food-until i actually tried it. i'd love to try the dhal of the day someday. |
if you're going to scotland and you're looking for friend to bring along… pick me please. i'm begging you.
~adios mi amigos~
