Hello
I’m not going to be in Glasgow when you are there (in Australia at the moment), I could show you how well loved all my poketo wallets are. But I would deffinatly recomment going to chai ovna, a chai tea house that is also next to an excellent 2nd hand record shopr and one of those book shops where things might come alive. It’s in the west end. Get off at the Kelvinbrige subway stop and go to otago lane.http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=chai+ovna,+glasgow&ie=UTF8&ll=55.872157,-4.278445&spn=0.008716,0.037122&z=15&iwloc=A Don’t be cruel to yourself, get the pugu cake.
Hope to make it along to this guys. Let me know if we can interview (:
Oh and I reccommend checking out the ivy bar and king tuts for music, and if you’re hangin around a few days, the (25-27) is well worth a swatch.
