Glasgow. 1 month overseas immersion program was such an amazing learning point for me. Having roommates, time to explore places, studying in one of the most beautiful University I have ever seen; basically I had one of the best time ever. I actually miss having roommates, knocking on their doors whenever I am bored or having annoying team mates banging on my door while I am napping. Good times. Honestly, when I first arrived at Murano Student Village, I had a love-hate relationship due to having inconsiderate flat mates. The room is definitely not COZY but we started decorating our rooms along the way making it feel like home. Anyway, here is what we did while in Glasgow!
Loch Lomond lake
Loch Lomond is the largest loch in Scotland, the largest fresh water lake on the island of Great Britain and probably the most famous after Loch Ness.
University of Glasgow
What is that one word that you would use to describe UOG? Mine is Hogwarts for sure! I am in awe whenever I am at the main building. I was so proud to find out that Ayat Ayat Cinta 2 actually filmed some of their scenes at my University. So beautiful!
The famous shopping streets, Buchanan Street!
You can shop till you drop here. How my friends and I shop there: Primark, primark and primark. Lush and Nike are one of our favorites go-to store too! Miss coming here almost everyday to shop for clothes and food, haha.
Glasgow Botanic Garden
Great place for a picnic or photo-shoots! The Kibble Palace is one of the largest glass hours in Britain and features a handful or rare orchids!
The Lighthouse
The lighthouse is about 45m high filled with a lot of arts and a spiral staircase that will lead you to a viewing platform. This building is actually designed to hold up to 8000 gallon of water in case the building catch a fire. Great prep right there!
Riverside Museum
Riverside museum is one of the interesting museums I have seen. It contains all kinds of vehicle in history that you would probably have seen in old movies. On top of it all, you can also visit the Tall Ship just behind the museum! If you ever wonder how a ship looks like on the inside, then you should go. I was amazed by how huge it is on the inside as compared to the outside.
Kelvingrove Museum
Kelvingrove museum and park is located near University of Glasgow. This museum will make you feel as if you are in the Night of the Museum movie. I wish I have more photos taken but silly me forgot to bring my camera that day!
City Chambers
City Chambers is located at George Square, nearby the city centre too! It is easily one of the most WOW architecture I have seen in Glasgow. It looks like a palace! Entrance is free and in order to see what it is like on the inside, you have to adhere to their visiting hours. They have only 2 time slots, in the morning and in the afternoon. Definitely worth a visit! It is a pity that they do not allow you to take pictures in most part of the building hence you should go and see for yourself!
Glasgow Science Centre
Glasgow Science Centre entrance is not free, unfortunately! But definitely worth the visit! Lots of cool activities and shows so it is fun to go with your friends.
People Palace
It is closed on Monday. I repeat. It is closed on Monday. My friends and I were silly enough to visit on a Monday morning. At least we get to see the famous fountain, haha!
Ruchill Park
Definitely should visit if you want to watch the sunrise or sunset from up above! I loved how you get to see a 360 degree view of Glasgow City. I am glad that this park is actually located behind our dorm.
Glasgow is one of my favorite cities ever. The people in Glasgow are so lovely. I definitely would come back one day just to pay a visit at the University and also to visit other places in Scotland that I have missed!
