The sunset from our (very 90s) EuroHostel. The big building on the left that looks like a factory/warehouse is St. Enoch Shopping Centre, currently undergoing renovation, so we didn't go.
Primark - the low-cost apparel shop that made my gf so crazy and anticipating the shopping that will come tomorrow morning, or as early as the shops open - 10am to be exact.
Marks & Spencer - so everywhere in U.K.!
The scenes from our night walk in Glasgow, after checking-in.

The impressive City Chambers, facing George Square, very near Queen St. train station.
There's one shot I used my own head as a tripod! (the smallest picture)
LQ at Goose - a restaurant/bar that looked nice but stopped serving food after 9pm,

so we had to settle for Macs!
RJ outside the Osmosis pub at the ground floor of our EuroHostel, and holding as many ketchup from Macs as he can hold with the spaces btw his fingers!

Taking the very simple breakfast at the EuroHostel - dun we just miss the continental one at Granville Guesthouse in Edinburgh, urrrgggh!
Walking down Buchanan St - the main shopping drag of Glasgow that cuts through the heart of the city, catch the peacock sculpture around!
Why LQ so happy when see Apple?
A very interesting shop facade of a candy shop.

Visiting the so-called-famous Glasgow School of Art, up on a slope which supposedly had a 20 milesperhour (i suppose it's miles) speed limit.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed this building in 1896

and he is to Glasgow what Gaudi is to Barcelona.
The deluxe tea-rooms nearby are the Willow Tea Rooms, also designed by Mackintosh. See the high-backed chairs! and LQ's fave shot which she took - the one on the right with the pastries inside the glass cover - at last she is getting 'some positive influences' from me

(after 7yrs)!
Lunch at the Willow Tea Rooms, after a time-limited shopping spree at Primark! (I bought a few t-shirts, berms and a belt! Imagine what the gals could have managed!)
Eats - XH's salmon platter, my chilli beef and LQ's Haggis (the brown layer below the orange yellow top) - Scotland's national dish, which contains lungs/hearts/livers of a sheep, mixed with oatmeal and onion and stuffed into a sheep's stomach bag and finely chopped!

Tell me how brave is this woman I chose?
Another of LQ's fave shot which she took - the rock sugar/white sugar contrast?
We had strawberry milkshake, hot chocolate with marshmallows, special green tea and the Willow blend (of tea). Nice tea - very relaxing and can pao4 many times with hot water!

Walking/shopping along the Z-shaped shopping streets of Argyle St, Buchanan St and Sauchiehall St - said to be the best shopping in UK after London's Oxford/Regent Streets!
And finally, after such a shopping spree (cue LQ bottom left), its home sweet home via 1hr train to Prestwick International Airport to take Ryanair again!
That's how you spend 24hrs in Glasgow!
