Radio

The next day we had to do a radio interview for a local radio station telling them a little bit about our experiences around the world and our reactions to last nights party. 40 mins of talking on the radio is long but we were three people from the Smirnoff Ten and we had a lot to talk about. When we were all done I asked if I could announce the next song coming up and they let me… good times. Some of the things I talked about were my best party: which will forever be the Bahia Salvador 2008 Carnaval, and the best country: to this date that is Thailand. It always feels good to reflect on this massive journey we’re taking around the world.

That same night we were taken to some bars in Glasgow to see the best nightlife. We must have walked in to about 3 pubs and 2 clubs that night and as hard as it might sound I felt like I got a pretty good over view of their nightlife.

The next day we moved to Edinburgh, which is a smaller city very famous for its history about an hour away. An hour away is not far but for some reason it felt like a completely different place, I was amazed how different Glasgow and Edinburgh could be even though they’re so close to each other.



After we settled in we were taken out to see what Edinburgh’s night life could offer. I found that the people here dressed up a bit more and it to be a bit more fancy. The clubs we went to had a different type of crowd and people looked more relaxed here. We went to a pub called Dragon Fly, which had some impressive cocktail making and décor. Everyone got a different cocktail; beer just wouldn’t cut it in this place. After this we went to a hip-hop venue called Medina, it was an underground club that played really good music. The team got together and started singing and dancing to the music. Towards the end of the night we went to one last club that was much bigger and played techno and house music. We stayed there for a while and before we knew it our stay in Scotland was over. It was short but it was fun while it lasted.

Both cities have their own unique style and they both have something different to offer its visitors. You definitely have to experience both cities if you’re going to go to Scotland, with the train It will only cost you £10 to get from one city to the other. Glasgow felt more like a big city whereas Edinburgh felt more historical and fancy. All in all Scotland might have been cold but it was definitely cool.
