00:00 I spoke to a group of students from Glasgow who say that,
00:03 I believe the word dodgy was used.
00:05 - What's my favorite thing about Glasgow?
00:07 - Cooler and edgier than Edinburgh,
00:08 but otherwise pretty similar.
00:10 - Never been to Glasgow.
00:11 - I've been to Glasgow once and it was incredible
00:14 and I'd love to go back.
00:15 Glasgow, yeah, it's a vibe.
00:17 - No, is that not what it's like?
00:21 - My perception of Glasgow is that it's a bit more of an
00:24 oomph, oomph, oomph, oomph scene than Edinburgh.
00:28 But I've been told it's just as beautiful, visually speaking.
00:32 - So I live in Glasgow and I found when moving to Glasgow
00:35 that it is one of the most welcoming cities in the world.
00:39 Like it brought me in, it made me feel like
00:42 I was a Glaswegian, right?
00:44 I'm a Yorkshire though, so I think I kinda,
00:46 you know, we're friends.
00:47 - Oh, I'm not necessarily saying better,
00:49 I'm saying cooler and edgier, you know.
00:52 - How do you know if you've never been there?
00:53 - I don't know, social media.
00:55 It's really gritty.
00:56 My favourite thing is probably all the street art.
01:00 You can just walk around for hours and hours
01:02 and appreciate all the amazing street art there.
01:04 - I've been to Glasgow for an hour.
01:06 I've never, I haven't probably been to Glasgow.
01:07 - Favourite things about Glasgow, the food, right?
01:10 Especially if you like vegan food,
01:12 like there's amazing vegan food in Glasgow.
01:14 The culture's incredible, the art's incredible
01:17 and everyone's funny, which makes it impossible
01:19 to be a stand-up comedian because everyone there
01:20 is funnier than you.
01:22 And that's what I like about Glasgow.
01:23 It's quite dark and rainy.
01:25 (laughs)
01:26 - There's also loads of incredible vegan food.
01:29 I'm not even a vegan, but yeah, it has just,
01:32 yeah, just the coolest people as well.
01:34 Everyone's really trendy, everyone's really cool.
01:36 It's just, it's fabulous, yeah.
01:38 And it's different to Edinburgh.
01:39 Edinburgh's got that sort of old town posh vibe.
01:42 But yeah, Glasgow, completely different,
01:43 but also very Scottish.
01:45 (laughs)
01:45 - I was just getting off a flight and driving to Mull.
01:49 So I was there for literally an hour, but it was okay.
01:52 - Not a whole lot.
01:53 I spoke to a group of students from Glasgow
01:55 who say that, I believe the word dodgy was used
01:58 in certain parts.
01:59 I can imagine what that means,
02:02 but I wasn't quite sure at the time.
02:04 - No, I mean, yeah, I've met Glaswegians.
02:06 No, my perception of Glasgow is like, great.
02:09 I really wanna go across to somewhere.
02:11 I've got a friend who's at a university there
02:13 and I need to go and visit him.
02:15 Yeah.
02:17 - I've heard Edinburgh's posher.
02:18 That seems to be the, and I can understand that.
02:20 It's quite a posh place.
02:21 (laughs)
02:22 The streets are, it's a very active nightlife is what I've been told.
