It’s my last travel day. With a very good ending, it’s a rainy day again. The weather in UK is really changeable. Glasgow is the last destination that I want to visit. Due to the 16-25 youth card, the ticket I bought should be used after rush hour but I came to train station too early therefore I felt really bored. Finally, I decided to buy a book to kill time. Quite expensive, 7 pounds for one book. I don’t want to buy too many items to make my bag become heavier and heavier. But I just can’t stand I had nothing in hands.
From Edinburgh to Glasgow needs 50 minutes by Train. It’s much faster and cleaner. Glasgow is big city but it’s much cleaner than any other big city in UK . When I was in City Chamber, I saw a video and finally I understood why it is so clean. The city has a team who always give fixed penalty, 50 pounds, for littering.
What could I do in Glasgow ? There are a lot of museums here for free, Churches for free admission and a shopping street. Spending one day here should not feel boring but with rain could make everybody smashed. As the result, I chose to do indoor activity. I visited the Glasgow Cathedral and St Mungo Museum. The cathedral is not as big as Edinburgh but it is really great because the outfit could be tracked back to 15 century. A lot of 13-15 century churches were all destroyed by religion war in UK . This one is the one who left perfectly intact. People said it may be related to St. Mungo. Who is St. Mungo? Please google by yourself. He is an important person because he also had important relation with Glasgow history.
The religion Museum is next to the Cathedral. It’s kind of small but it provides basic information of all important religion. Not only Buddhism but also Jewish religion, people could get background knowledge here. Of course, it’s free. Across from the museum, there is a 3 floors building. It is the oldest building in Glasgow . It preserved a lot of furniture and the structure of the house is also quite nice. Spending 20 minutes here is really enjoyable.
However, the most impressive thing is I visited Glasgow City Chamber. From my guide book, it is said visitors could take part in walk tour. Visitors want to know the walk tour timetable, please ask the staff inside. I took part in 2: 30 pm walk tour. I think it’s my first time who really could not understand English. The guide spoke with very very strong accent that I just could not understand what he was talking. Luckily, there were three Americans who explain what he said to me. Now, I could understand Londoners told me they did not understand Glasgow ’s English. Visiting the City Chamber was really great because I really knew how rich the government it is. The building decorated with marble stairs, marble fireplace, leather walls with beautiful crafts on it, amazing stained window glasses. But there is one thing made my jaw drop, the stage room. The ceiling with golden crafts, several Scottish paintings which was drawn by a talented Scot, leather crafts on the wall all made the visitors wooing.
