Glasgow World Pipe Band Championship

Salam,

Monday is the starting day for another big event in Glasgow. It's the Glasgow World Pipe Band Championships! Yeheyy! I am really lucky to be here this year. It was the Commonwealth last month and now it's the piping championships. So i have decided not to miss this. The main event will take place this Saturday 16 August 2014. I just can't wait. Hehe. 

Just bought the ticket the main event which cost me as a student £8 for a 2 days pass. Yipee. Can't wait can't wait!! So everyday in this week sound of bagpipes can be heard everywhere in the city. Which is too me very pleasant and made me somehow felt like home. 😁

Took this on Monday in front of Buchanan Galleries. This is a team from Canada. Wow. I thought only Scottish people play this. Silly me 😁

They marched along the Buchanan Street and somehow we followed them. Haha 

They stop here to do another performance before they marched till Candleriggs.

Yes. We did follow them till Candleriggs 😁

So that's it for today. Been quite buzy with life. Can't wait for this weekend for the Championship! Stay tune! 

Peace and out 

Mending heart

Salam,

Yesterday was partial bad and partial great. But life must go on. Right ey?

Since everyone went to Livingston for summer sale, i decided to take 'me time'.  After done with meetings, i wander around Glasgow city, first planning to find a spot under a tree near Clyde river. But when i reached St Enoch, i saw a bus. Tried to board the bus and i wanted to buy day pass. But i forgot they wont give back change and i don't have enough change. So i continue my walks. Then i reach Glasgow Central Station

Still not sure what i want to do. So i stepped inside. And aim for the promo tickets or anything such. Then i say the SPT Roundabout ticket which you can but £6.30 ticket and there's more than 100 stops you can reach. Unlimited. For a day. Haha i was happy. 

My first stop was Neilston. Small town with population of 5000. I googled the town and they say the church was build in the 2nd century. So i went to check it out. 

The tower and the graves did look ancient. 

One of the art they put along the walkside. 

Great hill view

This is Newton station. I stop here for transit to go to my next stop. From the bridge i can see Newton as a small village. 

This is my second stop, Motherwell. It was the day the Commonwealth baton passed this town. But i think i missed it. 

North Lanark Heritage Center. Stop here for the view from the tower. 

Here's the view from the tower 

Tjus is the town center. Small town but much to see. Quite near to Glasgow. Placed one park named Strathclyde Park and home for Motherwell FC. 

Third stop, Milngavie (pronounce as mill-guy) nice town. Some how this town felt cooler than Glasgow. 

You can take the West Highland Way route from here up to Fort William. I'm not sure how long I'm going to take if I try. Haha 

Fish ladder for salmon. 

I planned to go to Dumbarton as my next stop but there was a technical problem with the lines and all train was cancelled. And i was stuck in Westerton for almost 2 hours. After the station master told us there is no trains on the way to the station for God knows how long. I headed to the bus stop for the city as i started to feel hungry and tired to wait any longer. 

Heading to the bus stop

I reached Glasgow around 9pm finding this. Ahaha love the idea! So wait for my next journey with bikes. Yey! 

Peace and out~
