Pollok House

Alrite..since Ming Jia is having a whale of a time in Italy, we have decided to see a little more of Glasgow WITHOUT her *griNs* We went to the Pollok House (dunno what is it?? go visit Glasgow abit laa) It was a home to the Maxwell family since 13th century and the Pollok House is an 18th century mansion. Entry to the Pollok House is £5 per person, but apparently the price is negotiable..hmm~~ After visiting this place, I can only say that the Maxwell family were filthy rich. They have a whole lot of collection of arts, statues, antiques, silverwares etc etc from all over the world until they need another building to store their stuff-The Burrell Collection, entrance : FREE! Having said that, we, being the not-so-artistic kind of people, enjoyed being out in the garden rather than looking at weird collections. There was a river in front of the house called the White Cart river (more like BROWN river) and a bridge across it. Their garden was also full of rhododendrons, their fav flower, and some tulips :D Hehe..we also saw alot of hairy Highland moo-moos. This one looks damn yeng^^ And this is damn lansi! Small elaine kept moo-ing until the other tourists from far end also can hear her but this cow just wont move an inch to look at the cam :( Ha. A drooling cow. Small elaine's moo-ing has probably translated into some kinda sex-talk between her and the cow~


Okla..that's all for now..nothing much at the Pollok House actually~Wait for Ming Jia to get back and brag on her Italy trip**have to do some packing now..going to Lake District with Laine, Hong and another friend on Thurs but my room is still upside down :S
