I'm in Glasgow now. The bus ride unfortunately sucked.

When James and I made our way onto the bus, there were only single seats left so we couldn't sit and chat, but I was happy to see a small asian man in the seat beside mine, I thought perhaps it wouldn't be a troublesome trip after all. Little did I know that the asian man had the capacity to simply exude the most pungent of smells. Along with that, he snored loud enough to drown out any coherent thought. Finally, he took up more space than any person that size has any right to. I got almost no sleep as a result, but hey, we made it to Glasgow :D.

Jonny boy was waiting at the bus depot to pick us up, which was cool. w00t Jon. We hopped on the subway and made our way to Jon's place. He's got a flat in a pretty nice area, the Glasgow university isn't far away, and quite happily the women around here are a lot better looking than the ones in London.

James and I are going to reorganize Jon's flat though, and buy lots of protein rich food, to go along with the intentions of continuing my weightlifting program started a month and a half ago in Waterloo. Maybe I'll convince Jon to join up too ;). But it's all good, theres a fitness centre not far from the flat. Naturally, all props go out to my homie Jon for providing the place to stay. w00t w00t to that.

It's raining at the moment, I hear that it's pretty normal though. In fact, Jon warned us to 'not look up', as it will become depressing after awhile. Jon hasn't seen the sun in about a month. James and I are conjecturing that the lack of sun may be a direct cause of the somewhat lower standard of female beauty in the UK. But that was conjecture from London, so far Glasgow has been pleasant. As I stated before, Glasgow women = better than London women. I really can't stress enough the complete lack of eye candy in that city. I think the eye candy in London is all buildings, pretty much, as opposed to people.

Scotland appears to be a lovely place, we saw the rolling hills from the bus as the sun came up, and were pleased. It really does remind me of Cape Breton so far, just with less trees. I think someone from Scotland who went to Cape Breton would say it reminds them of home. That's probably why all the Scots settled in Nova Scotia. Probably why it was called Nova Scotia :P (New Scotland). I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the countryside, Loch Lomond is just north of here, and Jon's says it's beautiful. Actually, Jon says the whole of Scotland is incredibly beautiful (I'm referring to the many emails he's send where he goes on about the amazing countryside here).

I almost forgot, at the Victoria Bus Depot in London, James and I had to pay 20 pence to use the bathroom. This would have been ok if it wasn't a crappy bathroom. But it was. I mean, come on, toll highways are supposed to be better maintained, why isn't a toll bathroom in better condition than others!?? The shower at Jon's flat also requires a 20 pence toll. I find that really amusing as well. Oops, I forgot my 20p, can't shower today ;). But it's all good :), I have plenty of change. I suppose if I happen to not have any chance, I can just take my clothes off and go outside into the perpetual sunless/rain land and shower in the street.

Anyhow, Jon's been waiting patiently for me to speed it up, so I'll end this right about........now.

Peace out folks!
