Greater Glasgow
Yesterday night we came back from Glasgow. Their weather reminds me of London so much. It’s very sunny and way warmer than Aberdeen. The first day we got to Glasgow it was very late so we stayed at the hotel unpacking. We didn’t do much, just ate at Pizza Hut. Then slept until the next morning.
The next day we drove to Loch Lomond and we took some pictures of the lake there. This place is very special to my dad, back in the 80′s when my dad was still a post-graduate student he used to go there a lot with my mom to picnic and it was cool going back to the same places and re-living the good old days again. On that same day, we ate at The Bay Tree cafe and I think it was a Turkish restaurant because of the music playing, but their food was pretty good. Then later on we did a little bit of shopping at Braehead mall, it was so much crowded and stuffy that you’d feel the floors vibrating underneath you but it’s huge comparing to shopping centres in Aberdeen.
The third day we checked out of the hotel and we went to the Safari Park or Zoo. It was fun to drive thru the Zoo in the car, passing some endangered species, lions and tigers. We even rolled down our windows to have a better look at the lions, it was risky but everyone else was doing it. My dad parked the car, we walked around and we had a chance to pet some animals too. Hassan was enjoying his time there. Meemo tried feeding the ducks some toast and they actually surrounded her from every corner. She was running away and they chased after her. It was terrifying! One duck even stood in front of the car behind us and it wouldn’t shoo away lol.

Spike, I think we drove past Argyle street.
Chika, ‘Loch’ means lake. But we’re going to Inverness this week and the Lochness lake is there, so the Nessie monster should be over there too lol.
