I think it is time to explain the happiness of living with nice flatmates!!!!

All right, today I am very angry because of my flatmates. To explain the situation in brief, during the night I am in my boyfriend's flat and during the day I am in my flat.

So I am very lucky because I can have problems in my boyfriend's flat and problems in my flat!!!

My boyfriend's flatmates like to do parties till 5 o'clock in the morning, they like to explose some baked beans on the ground floor and of course they do not like to do the washing up but they like to take your stuff for eating (of course it is clean).

What is wonderful is that, the morning, you are very lucky because you can eat your breakfast in front of a poster of a doped man who has got a syringe in his arm, I like it very much.

But it is not all, I have the chance to have my own flatmates!!! My flatmates like to transform the commun bathroom in swimming pool for other flatmates, it nice from them. They like to make the kitchen as dirty as possible when they eat because they like to feel like pigs.

And the best for the end, they like to imagine that the fridge is a distributor of food and that they can take what they want to eat in your stuff, of course the food directly send by your parents from France is the best for them!!!

(if you did not understand that all these things are ironic, it is not normal!!!)

In Glasgow, between Gallowgate and London Road, you can find a vaste flea market (in french "marché aux puces"): THE BARRAS MARKET. It takes place every week end, saturdays and sundays between 9 am and 5pm.

On this place you can find everything you want or almost.

There is a lot of DVDs (no very legal process), CDs, clothes, food, parfume, sweeties, pet food, mobile phone etc.

I like to go there because it is very cheap compared to the normal shops. Of course, I am not sure of the quality but sometimes you can find very interesting things. (secret: there is a stand with the best caramel bars in the world, keep it for you ;-) )

Strathclyde is the third largest university in Scotland. It has 67 buildings over 500 acres of land. It teaches over 20,000 students in five faculties : Arts & Social Sciences, Education, Engineering, Science and Strathclyde Business School. The university counts a lot of international students, I don't know the exact number. You can meet people from all over the world, it is incredible!

Some pictures of the campus...

So now, let's go for tourism.

These pictures were taken inside the city chamber of Glasgow. The city chamber is where you can find the Lord Todd who is in other words a sort of president of Glasgow.

This building is very big and very beautiful. It is situated on the most famous place in Glasgow: Georges Square (you have some pictures in this site).
