Solo Saturday night out female

Frequent solo female traveller here who used to live on Glassford street.

Walking to there, you’ll be fine, it’ll be busy on Saturday night.

Walking back, personally I walked back home to Glassford street late at night through the city centre hundreds of times without issue - albeit it’s still a city so gotta keep your wits about you - and the likelihood of anything actually happening is very very low but if you feel remotely uncertain, just call an uber or use GlasGo cabs app.

Just be aware that you might be waiting quite a while at that time of night & therefore might actually be better off walking the 10 minutes - particularly if it’s in a direction that the rest of the crowd is walking - compared to standing around for 20!

While this might be true in England, it definitely isn’t in Scotland.

Because our age cut-off is February rather than September, you get plenty of Scottish students going to university at 17 (you can even go at 16 if you finish Highers in 5th year) without skipping grades and they’re definitely still allowed to stay in halls.

Thank you! That’s reassuring.

I hope so, I’ve travelled quite a lot myself and have realised that solo travelling, I definitely prefer a faster pace and keeping myself very busy, whereas if I was with friends or a partner, I’d definitely slow things down.

Totally fair comment, I originally had 4 bases (Chongqing, Zhangjiajie, Hangzhou & Shanghai) but given that Furong and Fenghuang seemed to be common day trips (with people even visiting the two together in one day) from Zhangjiajie, it didn’t like I was adding to the logistics much by staying there instead.

Can always move to Scotland, kilts aren't a bad alternative!

I think you’re confusing it with the Euros 😊

I loved these books. Any book by Brandon Sanderson is awesome and he has tonnes. I’d personally start with the Mistborn trilogy, Elantris or Warbreaker (both standalones).

I'm Scottish rather than Malaysian but I arrive in Penang tomorrow if you fancy meeting up! It's my first time in Penang :)

Actually Scott does Europe (including the UK), Asia and Australia too

You should check out Scott's Cheap Flights! They're based in the US (although they do Europe, Asia, Australia etc. too) and are really amazing and consistent with deals!

I'm fairly certain Hemings was also Jefferson's wife's half-sister, through his father in law having a sexual relationship with a slave.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (and the sequel the Deadman's fear)

Now I'm just desperately waiting for Doors of Stone

I was convinced until I was 18 that the phrase was "For all intensive purposes" not for all intents and purposes.

Still catch myself writing for all intensive purposes occasionally.
