I can't speak for your London friend, but I am an American who has been to Glasgow twice in the past few years, and I'm married to an American who spent a semester studying at the uni. I can tell you that every Glaswegian I've ever met has been nothing less than friendly and hospitable. And I've never felt intimidated walking around the city, though as with every metropolis, there are certain parts of town you'll want to avoid (you certainly wouldn't catch me in a dark alley in the Gorbals). In many ways, I find Glasgow to be a more welcoming city than Edinburgh or London. It would be a shame if you missed out on visiting such a fine place because some Londoner tried to scare you out of it :). mike ciflux@aol.com honeymoon photos from Glasgow: http://www.geocities.com/FashionAvenue/Salon/6920/honeymoon.htm +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
