Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
what's their language? scottish?

Please excuse the good-natured banter between my friend Del [Tawi2] and I! Welcome to the forum and Congratulations on receiving your visa.
reputation (although no worse than Philippine cities of comparable size, e.g., Manila and/or Davao).
But these days are long gone, and indeed, just a few years ago, it was nominated as a European City of Culture. And you'll soon find that its citizens are a very friendly people on the whole - withs as "big" as the place itself ... and a sense of humour unrivalled anywhere on Earth.
Enjoy!
thanks a lot for all your comments! hope i could still get a lot more from other people in the forum.
more info about glasgow please!!!
I'm a Scot my partner is from Manila, Ana finds it far easier to understand the Scots than any of the English people she has met, some English regional dialects are extremely hard to understand
If you are outgoing and approachable the Scots will be very friendly and very nice to you, I sometimes find the English a bit stand-offish
I actually think our Scottish and Philippine cultures have a lot in common although I find it hard to put into words why I feel that way, we do still have the close family ties, a common belief in fairness to each other and so on.
You get free aircon for a very large part of the year, that is true and it rains a lot
In Glasgow, you are only 30 minutes from spectacular countryside in the form of the Trossachs indeed most cities in Scotland are only a few minutes from beautiful countryside.
Glasgow has some fantastic architecture and some of the best Museums and art galleries in the country, it is easy and sometimes cheap to get a flight from Glasgow airport to most other parts of the country it is a major provincial hub airport in that respect.
It's a cold place but the people are often warm and friendly and they really are not that hard to understand and I can tell you they will melt when they meet a warm smiling Filipino!

JimAna is not alone in this, Jim. Myrna's the SAME! With ME being a Scot too, she finds it easier to understand MY accent than most of the English dialects you find on *television nowadays. Talking of *which, we frequently have the subtitles switched on because I'm getting a bit hard of hearing ... though perhaps LESS so when watching Scottish programmes like 'Taggart'.
Maybe Scots are more clearly understood because, on the whole, they tend to speak slowly and delberately.
Ana likes the subtitles on a lot of programs in the UK and on a lot of movies
Maybe Scots are more clearly understood because, on the whole, they tend to speak slowly and delberately.
Don't get me wrong her English is superb, she greatly outclasses the vast majority of English speaking Filipino's I have met but she still finds some accents hard.
American English is the favoured dialect and accent but a well spoken Scots accent is one of the clearest forms of English there is, sure we Scots have a whole deep vocabulary of our own but most of that is well understood almost everywhere in the UKI could not say the same for Cornish
I think it would be hard for most people to understand a drunk Scot in a bar in the east end of Glasgow, god I find that hard a lot of the time
However the majority of us speak very clearly when we want or have too
Cheers Arthur!

Hi ! I managed to meet a lot of filipinos in glasgow since moving from Aberdeen to the Central belt, West Lothian to be exact and it is about 20 minutes drive to glasgow. In fact there are two filipino association in the area and you can join any if you wish. About the glaswegian togue, you don't have to worry as it will come naturally and you will understand them in no time.
Just give us a shout if you need assistance when you come over!
All the best !
True!
