A Note From Glasgow

We have been in Glasgow since morning 26th june. The weather here is cold unpredictable and chilly - alternating between cloudy skies, drizzling and short occassional sunshine. We went for a tour of Edinburgh on 27th and Oban on 28th june. Today 29th went to church and then shopping. Wife and daughter somehow are in shopping and buying mood telling me here they have some of the latest fashions and bla bla to justify their acts. I am not amused though because when you make the conversion, the items turn out to be very pricey!

Tomorrow will be a graduation day! The day she and we had been waiting for! On 1st July we are thinking of joining a day tour to Iverness or Loc Ness?. We have yet to have plan for the 2nd but on the 3rd we are ready and happy to leave this place before we get to burn more of our pockets.

Just to give you an idea of the cost here: pisang embun is RM3+ per biji at Heathrow airport, taxi meter in Glasgow starts at RM13 ie 2 pounds, a four courses chinese meal for 3 cost RM264 and at tourist city -Oban your fantastic seafood lunch will cost RM386.00 ie oysters, mussels, prawn, crabs and salmoon - hotel room rate RM500+ per night the equivalent of 2 star size room in KL.....and to enter a toilet RM1.20 per entry. Maybe you should come and see for yourself. Daylight hours till 10pm and by 4am - udah tampak!

Someday I hope when the hole in the pocket is self healing it will probably be a good idea to come here again - the country sides are a sight to behold!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely money is not a problem for both of you.
