This week Me and a friend of mine decided to take a day trip out to Glasgow's Science centre. Both of us (now in our mid 20's) haven't visited the Science centre since we were children, and if I'm honest I was a little worried that I was going to be disappointed that is wasn't going to be quite as epic as my 7 year old self remembered! 

We arrived just after Lunch during the week so thankfully the centre wasn't too crowded and overrun with screaming children so we got to play on pretty much everything! The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly all throughout our visit and this defiantly isn't just a place for children!! The top floor help the most fun for myself! They currently have a live bodyworks exhibition where you can scan a card, insert your details into a computer system and interact with all the different games and track your scores, weather it is your height, how fast you can sprint or how lightly you can jump. My personal favourite exhibit was a 2 player game that was centred around mind control. two players took to the opposite end of the table with a ball placed in the middle, they place a band containing electrodes around their head and the less active your brain was (the more calm you were) the more the ball would move towards the opposite players direction! After recently getting into meditation I was an ace at this game, and maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. My friend and I lost complete track of time and spent well over 2/3 hours around all the different levels!

Overall I had an amazing day out. even thought the science centre isn't perhaps the cheapest attraction to visit in Glasgow, if you are going to pay for one tourist attraction I think it is well worth the money!

Have any of you visited the Glasgow Science Centre?

Travel Time | A few days in Malaga

Rocking all the prints

Museo Carmen Thyssen

The Marina 

Hello Sunshine

Malaga

Tapas & Wine | Panorama Bistro Bar

Recently one of my closest friends has moved to the beautiful Costa del Sol to start up a beautiful Italian Restaurant by the beach at Benalmadena. I thought I would make the most of their hospitality... and sample some of their yummy food, and head over to the south of Spain for my 24th Birthday. 

Now anybody who knows me, will know that I am a bit of an over planner when it comes to travelling. I'm not really into schedules, but if I know I'm heading to a new city or country, I feel its integral to do lots of research so you won't miss anything amazing. 

The frist and for most reason for my trip was to spend some much needed time with my friend but I also squeezed in a good few museums, lots of food, some sun and reading.

Malaga is best known for being the birthplace of Picasso. He is not one of my most favoured artists, however the Picasso museum is only 3 Euros entry for a student, so definably worth the money even if your aren't too arty. For me personally, the gem in Malaga's art scene must be the 'Museo Carmen Thyssen'. Entry agin for students was around 3/5 Euros (depending on exhibitions) and they have a collection of some very talented, if not perhaps the best known, Spanish Artists. If you only have time for one art gallery I would defiantly recommend the Carmen Thyssen over Picasso!

Also for those a bit more hands on, Malaga's Interactive Music Museum is the place to go! You get a chance to play with a wide array of musical instruments (who knew the I was a natural on the steal drums) and you can record your creations all through electronic bracelets thought your experience.  Check out the website here

Overall the trip was amazing, it was really good to get out of the city and spend time with loved ones in the sun!

What are your holiday plans?

Amsterdam | A Perfect End to an Exceptional Year

Just before the long and lovely Summer ends, I just had enough time to squeeze in one little holiday to meet up with some of my European friends that I met and studied with in Montreal. Amsterdam seemed like the perfect option because it is a pretty cheap and central place for us all to travel to. We only had four days but I crammed in everything from the Rijks Museum, pedal boating on the canals and enjoying the seedier side of the Red Light District while enjoying a beverage or two on the way. I feel like I haven't slept in the past few days with not getting in until 5am and being up at 8am to beat the queues at the art galleries but it was all worth it!

Im off to go sleep for a week now before back to reality and back to school for my final year.
