I was born in 1984. your city reminds me of late 90s or 00s China. it has a similar vibe. its kind of insane to think that many developed country could enjoy a 90s-like Chinese life even since as early as 50s 60s. glad we have caught up.

Thank you for sharing. Beyond the buildings, infrastructure, shopping, dinning aspects of Scotland, it will be very interesting to hear the voices of Glaswegians or the Scottish general public. Please share their views of their understanding of past and present China. Please let us know what ordinary Scottish people think of the geopolitical/cultural/ideological issues related to China - UK relations.

Interesting, speaking of architectures in Glasgow (that yo showed to), it's only when the vid runs to 8:44, a red modern building with a vertical billboard says 'like nowhere else' stands out. It caught my eyes only bc of its distinguish color, red. I mean, it seems all buildings displayed in this 9min+ vid are mostly grey, white, beige, or a color which communicates with a solemn tone between past n today. That makes me thinking, since sitting on a highlands, which's full of sunshine all year long, ppl here are natural as well as down to earth, therefore loves to stick to n present the original colors of these historical architectures…in comparison with cities in Scandinavia, Scandinavians loves having their architectures coated with different colors esp brighter ones. Maybe that has something to do with the 'polar day' n characteristics of scsndinavians.

There was a lot of begging in Beijing before the Olympics, particularly around areas where foreigners shop. The government cleared most of them out. The Chinese generally don't give to beggars. And most Chinese prefer to give, rather than to take charity. Only those who are very, very desperate, or those who do it as a profession, beg in China.

Glasgow has a population of only 1.7 million, yet Beijing population is over 25 millions. The land area of Beijing municipality(16411 km²) is ever bigger, equivalent to nearly 94 Gasgows (175km²). So compare the two is like compare a mouse to an elephant. They are simply not in the same category. Although Glasgow city center has a few nice historical buildings, but in terms of grandeur, scale and variety of other things, Glasgow can never compare to Beijing, even London or Paris are no match for Beijing.
