Abang Adnan and Abang Zaidi picked us up from the airport, which was about 45 minutes from their place. Abang Zaidi has been in Scotland for 3 years, so the roads are quite familiar to him.We stayed at Kak Effa and Abang Adnan's house, togther with their adorable kids. Their place is in Glasgow, Victoria Road, if I'm not mistaken.
(Mimi, Ammar,Khatijah,Umair-L-R) On the first day , we just went to the park and the charity shops around Victoria. I wasn;t surprised that there were a lot of Halal food, but I was dead surprised to find out that most of the properties belong to the Pakistanis. Apparently they are the strong and rich ones there. And so, I later found put that even the local primary school that Kakak (khatijah) attend has more Pakistanis and Malays than Scottish. HOW?!
The next day we went around Glasgow town via car, thanks to Abg Zaidi, trusted Estima! (and memoried of WDJ 737 being our official balik kelantan van comes pouring back!)

Scotland is a very beautiful place with lots of historical buildings and churches. I guess churches are also common in Dublin, or any european countries for that matter. So I'll upload the pictures for you to enjoy. Since, a picture is worth more than a 1000 words, I'll let my pictures do the talking for my Second day in Glasgow.(not literally tho).
PS-we were constantly on the move, so some of the pics were very blur and shaky, so just enjoy what you see ok?

There's a proper mosque right in Glasgow, because the Muslim community is strong and the Pakistani Muslims are , in a way powerful. But, Abg Zaidi shared some information, that the 4 mosques around his place, practices different Mazhab (apa dah in english? luper).
(Please mind the picture, I was in a moving car)
After that we went to the Forge Market, and aorund that area, there's a lot of Warehouses, which I can so get broke if I go there!. Kak effa wanted to get her PC, and this is what the kids did!
(Faiz the Dolphin, Khadijan the butterfly, Mohd the Tiger!)
The best part was really the Car Boot, where there's really good price for good items. This carboot is the biggest one.

(Please mind the picture, I was in a moving car) The went to Alfa, a warehouse which sell really cheap stuff in BULK. And the owner? You guessed it, Pakistani. So it's very easy to get Halal stuff here. Ferero Rocher tu best!!
