SCOTLAND BABY

so we just got back to London, from our 4 day trip to Scotland, which was AMAZINGGGG

- slept for 4 hours in the lovely, spacious, hospitable, and accomodating Luton Airport
- arrived in Glasgow totally pooped and paid 3 pounds to take a 5 hr much needed power nap
- strolled around East End of Glasgow ie. Hastings Street, and met a few "good" people
- the most memorable person we met, was an old man at the ripe age of 70, who was just completely smashed. he definitely laid down some knowledge on us. Firstly, he felt "[leanne] looks just like my 1st wife, but i've never been married."
- we asked him where to find the best and cheapest scotch in glasgow.....and he replied "i am sooo drunk, i'm just on my way to another bar....uhhh cheapest scotch......?? cheapest scotch?? ....uhh i don't want to lay down a mortgage...."
- he also gave us some insight on our career choices:
winston:business...pfft look at this guy!?
ethan: historian....you're never going to make money
gilbert: pharamacology....what?? oh so you're a drug addict!
leanne: psychology...i'm a crazy person!

- went straight to People's Palace only to find that it was closed :(
- went to a crazy burger shack where a Turkish and Scottish guy were blown away that we didn't have cobblestone streets in Canada, thought we were insane to spend about $5000 to travel europe, and loved us tons more after he realized we weren't americans who as he said "spoke bullshit"
we asked them what Scots in Glasgow do for fun and their reply: "oh you can't imagine..." ie. they be doin some crazy smack
- walked the entire ghetto area of Glasgow in an hour
- walked through George Square where we were discriminated against by these 2 indian boys who thought they were smooth operators and went "HEY CHINA!!!"( in the strongest indian accent ever heard)
- called it a day, and booked a tour with TIMBERBUSH to see Scottish Highlands, Glencoe, & Loch Ness!!!


DAY 2: TIMBERBUSH TOUR
- 6:30 am wake up call....only to wake up to the tragic news of the canucks being ousted by the hawks....DAAAAAMNNIITT.
- tour with GRANT, our Scottish tour guide
- drove up to Loch Lomond, which includes passing by all these LOCHS (aka lakes) ...including Loch Ness where Nessie lives

- the drive was like the Hope- Princeton highway but 10x better
- saw tree lines that were spectacular, extinct volcanoes, sheeps sheeps and more sheeps, and hairy ass brown furry cows
- stopped for tons of photo-ops by the lochs
- had our first chotchy meal at Loch Ness
ethan: cullen skink which was smoked fish/potatoes and weird shit in soup
leanne: sun blushed tomato and chicken sandwich
gilly: soup n roll
wins: free water
- by the time we got back it was 8pm......and we made our way to edinborough
