| Comment | Because it's my favourite city on earth. Moved here to study in 2006, stayed 6 years then travelled the world living and working in cusco, melbourne, hong kong, edinburgh... I also did stints regularly visiting an ex-girlfriend in manchester and london. Places abroad were great, and it was a pleasant change living in places with predictable weather, but they never felt like home. I could have moved to England but... nah. Just not a fan of their big sprawling conurbations that go through some flat fields and then into another grey town. From Glasgow city centre you can be in proper wilderness by loch lomond in half an hour, or in pollock country park, or queens park within the city and feel totally outdoors. Hate to use the cliche as well, but people make glasgow, and I love the humour here above anything else. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty absolute roasters too, and don't get me started on the transport or peoples stubborn attitudes to shit like sectarianism or eating more exciting food, but on balance i fucking love the place to bits. |
