You don't know what to do tonight in Glasgow?

You have the choice between severals clubs.

Usually ERASMUS students go to clubs during the week end and wednesday evenings after the international meeting in a pub.

Differents clubs:

- Jumpin Jaks: on Sauchiehall street, about 25 minutes by feet from the city center. This club has a big room with very high ceiling. The entry is free on wednesday for every students. Usually on this day, there are some challenges between the 3 universities in Glasgow: Strathclyde, Glasgow uni and Caledonian uni. For example these challenge can be eating as fast as possible a degusting sandwich or exchange clothes between a girl and a boy... Another big advantage: all drinks £1!!! The music is quite good, they play all kind of musics.

- Blo: In the city centre, near Georges square. Free on wednesday for exchange students with a pass. A large selection of drinks for £1. Music: majority RnB.

- The garage: on sauchiehall street, 30 minutes by feet from the city center. Very varied music, quite good.

- The cube: in the city centre. Varied music, 3 rooms.

- Blanket, Bamboo, Destiny...

Few days ago, I took the underground of glasgow to go to the west end.

I want to write an article about it because this underground is particular.

It looks like a long orange sausage. Inside, the roof is not very high but we have space enough.

The price for a one way ticket is £1 (1,5 euros).

I am sure that you wonder: "What is a ceilidh?"

You are lucky, I'm here to answer!! ;-)

A Ceilidh is very famous in Scotland. This word comes from celtic culture.

A Ceilidh is a kind of Fest Noz in Brittany in France. People are gathered for dancing on traditional country songs.

The ceilidh band plays some scottish songs with ou without bagpipes. You do not need any experience for dancing because just before the beginning of each song the band explains how to dance. I have to admit that sometimes it is not so easy to understand what we have to do...consequently, I am often lost but it is quite funny because I am not alone.

I have been in few ceilidhs and I like it even if I don't like dancing because I am always lost. The atmoshpere is unique and people enjoy themselves in dancing or drinking a pint of beer.

Contrary to Fest Noz in Brittany, it is not only old people who dance but a lot of young people.

For ceilidh, every scottish people who has a kilt wears it. So you can imagine what we can see when the dance is quite fast and the kilt lifts....So now, I am sure that scottish people do not wear anything under kilts ;-)

In Glasgow, there is a shop that I like very much.

Bear factory

The principle is:

1. You choose a teddy bear among a lot of models. Your bear is empty.

2. You choose with what you want to fill your bear.

3. You place a small red heart inside your bear.

4. You make a wish.

5. A person who works in the shop, close the bear. And you have your new bear.

6. You choose a name for your bear and then you have a certificate of birth.

After that you have a big part of the shop where you can choose clothes for your bear.

At the end, you have a very cute teddy bear and and a big hole in your budget (minimum 23 euros).
