| Comment | Contrary to some of the opinions here, I kinda miss Dundee as someone who used to live there. It was a lot easier to socialise, and there was a lot less pretension in a lot of the arts/music scenes. Like, some real wanker-y nonsense at times, but you could always turn up and join in with things. Everyone was on the same level. In Glasgow every music and arts event is about people looking for the big time and trying to get famous. Every gig is either a blockbuster or a dud. Every food venue either gets massively crowded and becomes super famous or it folds in a couple weeks.
That said, it's bigger, there's more to do, and in most places the vibe is a bit happier and less glum than in Dundee. Transport is 6 and 1/2 a dozen ... better in some ways (there's more of it) worse in others (1st Bus is way worse than McGills for being both useless and unscrupulous).
Its hard to say if its a clear better/worse. Glasgow has more opportunity and a different kind of charm, while I found Dundee a bit more welcoming in its own way. |
