It's a cool place. Very la happening. It's a melting pot of so many different nationalities and races, you even have a whole road (Edgeware Road) catering to Arabic cuisine (think shisha, hommus and lamb shawarma).
Dunno why but it's a trend for Malaysians to stay in Bayswater which is where all the food is at. There's so many different kinds and all along one convenient road. There's the kebabs, chinese food, japanese, waffle cafe, pub grub. And the Tesco there sells HALAL CHICKEN MEAT which is cheaper than the non-halal kind. Unfair lar. Glasgow should have a larger Muslim community! Then finding good food wouldn't be such a pain.
Expenses-wise, it's prolly cheaper to live in Glasgow... I mean, in London, travel is already effing ex (£1.50 for a single tube trip - without an Oyster card, it's £4 which is what I kena-ed the night I arrived XD) oh yea, 90p per bus ride (w/o travel card its £2) and London is big kay, so you GOTTA take public transport to go out and have fun.
Cheapest kebabs there are say £3 and the portions are pretty small so I'd say the food in Glasgow is cheaper... Or at least, the kebabs in Glasgow are cheaper - £2.75 for a "small" kebab and it'll last you for lunch and dinner.
However, like I said earlier on, it's happening. Got lots more things to do - musicals, plays, cinema, bowling, ice-skating, sports, food, clubs, etc. Generally more stuff happening there every night compared to here where the locals usually just go to pubs to have fun. Should be hard to get bored in London...
Now have to catch up on studies. The guilty feeling already permeating the bones like an early morning chill.
