In Glasgow, one car out of two is a taxi. Taxi have a particular type of car just for them.
However, a lot of taxi are decorated with some advertising for any type of commerce, is can be for a market, a special company or a club...
Taxi in Glasgow are very cheap compare to France, to join the two sides of Glasgow, you would pay about 5 pounds (about 7.5 euros).
Some pictures of taxi...

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and counts 453000 persons.
It is the second touristic destination of United Kingdom, just after London. This town is famous for its castle (see in the photo album).
It is the place in Scotland where you can find the cheapest kilt in touristic shop.

Now, it is time to explain what is different in Scotland compared to France! ;-)
This is a list of few things differents:
-Food: food here is hum...how to say? Not so good and expansive.
-Weather: it is not so bad as expected. The only thing is that in winter, night is here at 3:30 pm, it is difficult to get used.
-Girls: here, girls are in mini mini skirts even if the temperature is negative. It is strange when you are with your big pull, your warm coat and you see a scottish girl in short skirt and short tee shirt...but boys like that...
-Beer 
and pub: beer is less expansive than in France and the atmosphere in the pubs is very good and warm.
-Lift : don't be surprise if you hear "doors closing" or "doors opening" when you tke the lift.... (The lift speaks)
-Alcohol: scottish people are drunk very early in the evening. I think that the reason is that pubs close at midnight, so people drink before midnight and leave pubs completely drunk.

On the 12th of February, I had the chance to go to the famous rugby stadium: Murrayfield in Edinbugh.
This stadium lies in the west of the city of Edinburgh. It was opened for the first time in 1925. Nowadays it has a seating capacity of 67 500 persons.
The match I saw was during the six nations competition 2005: Scotland Ireland. The score was 13 - 40.
The match was sold out, of course. Thanks to a french friends we manage to have our places for only 10 pounds (15 euros).
You can see some pictures of this day in my photo albums on the left side...
Enjoy it!!!
