WinterFest Glasgow
You know it's winter when the usual wool-knit jacket don't seem to be able to keep you warm anymore and when the department stores start to blare out the all-too-common-and-sometimes-too-irritating Jingle Bells tune through their PA system. Winter is finally here!! And Glasgow, being the "most" happening city in Scotland certainly has BIG plans to keep up to its title - WINTERFEST 2008!!
Yesterday, at -1 degrees, I reluctantly went to the city centre with Steph, LJ, Marc and joker Antonio. The 20 minute walk was none the less entertaining! What started with a playful shove ended up with 3 men boys playing game of Tag, tagging you know where…(no, not there, lower..lower..just a bit lower…yea..there!) But nothing can top Antonio’s toilet story..
“My (points to groin) very pain…”
“Really? What happened?”
“In the toilet…(making a pee-ing pose) finish, then I pull de chain (pointing to his zip)…oouucchhhh..”
Bursts of laughter soon ensued…Poor Antonio…
We were greeted at Arygle Street by a colorful array of sweets…sweets that looked too good to resist, but overly priced!!
Steph's tempation
-(p/s: she bought once when we were at Nottingham & it was a GBP15 bag of candies!)
Many tiny stalls lined the streets, most of which were selling Christmassy stuff and the deliciously sinful lipid-laden food that would eventually clog up our poor arteries!
Gingerbread stall :)
Steph was kind enough to pose for me :)
i actually saw some kids wearing it!
warm felt feet warmers!
German Sausage Stall

Our next stop, George Square…
the festive lights that lit the periphery of the Square
George Square was transformed into a mini-theme park, with an ice-skating rink built right in the centre...
Ice skating around the statue of a famous naked man
i wanted to slide, but after thoughtful consideration and taking into account the expanding size of my derriere, i decided against it! :(
like the one in Genting
merry-go-round :)
