Glasgow (f)Art Scene
















Last art experiences I had was travelling to Glasgow to inspect the artistic delights that is Glasgow art scene. This included admiring the tattoo pieces that can be described as "Glaswegian doodle". It is hard to get away from seeing this body art as most fat sweaty men walk around without their tops on -in a similar manner to the nudest beaches of our neighbours in mainland Europe.

Must sees include the pre-drinks bar Glasgow Courtyard which sells the local's drink "hobos tipple" including 3 shots of Buckfast, 1 shot irn bru and 1 shot of Bells Whiskey. It was nice place until someone farted in the corner of club : the smell resonating to the beat of the bass. This made everyone move towards the courtyard area where projections were put onto the inner walls. Later walking to the west end I met some of my hipster friends ( one with a large forehead) who took me to the glue factory (22 Farnell Street). The beats were pumping without the flatulent effects.

Other places to check out Sauchiehall Street , Centre for contemporay arts and ARTeries gallery.

Into the Wild - Chris McCandless


I watched Into the Wild the other day. A great film about finding yourself in the wilderness. Worth checking out if your planning on going for some exploring this summer.



The revolutionary cycle











"In November 2008, Simon Evans and Fearghal O'Nuallain began the first Irish circumnavigation of the globe by bicycle. Their unsupported expedition will cover over 30,000km, passing through 30 countries and some of the highest, lowest, driest, coldest, warmest and loneliest places on earth. In doing so, they will be promoting the positive contribution that cycling can make to mental health by encouraging people to get on their bikes, and by raising funds for Aware"

The landmark stops they made include The Iguazu Falls, Argentina, Petra, Jordan, The Gobi Desert, Mongolia, Machu Picchu, Peru, Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, Great Wall of China, Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt, Colosseum, Italy, Eiffel Tower, France, the Galapagos Islands and Lake Baikal. They made it home on the 15th of May with beards. Well Done guys!
