How to make friends in Glasgow

Hahahah a bit of a trick question here,Glasgow you will find is like no other city youve ever been in.Theres a reason for this.When they built and later expanded the city they built huge housing schemes within the city which in turn built up around them.
Its an extremely busy city and downtown much given over to transient shoppers.
Hesitate to trust strangers is sound advice anywhere but particularly in Glasgow.Do not get involved with strangers if drinking.
Be aware that although an extremely busy city it transforms at dusk from city workers and shoppers to club goers and theatre types.
Spend the extra 5 quid to get a taxi home , never try walking home and especially not alone.In Glasgow you can be in the heart of the downtown one second and in a dark alley the next.
Groups of youths do cruise the city after dark and they prefer a solitary target , worth keeping in mind.
Budget for a taxi any time you are out late.

Oddly most people you are likely to meet in Glasgow will not be Glaswegians.The city serves a multitude of towns for miles around,these people will and do come in to the city to work or shop on any given day but more so on the weekends.
Glasgow also has fantastic theatres and movie theatres , lots of live entertainment of all kinds.

Having said all that the Glaswegians can be a fun lot and friendly , same can be said of all Scots you might meet there.
Just dont give a weegie a chance to burn you,take your bag to the toilet if in a pub.
Keep your senses about you and go easy on the beer , its much much stronger than American beer for example.

Do not discuss religion , tell them your athiest for a quiet time.Do not involve yourself with the local football team talk ever on any occasion.Tell them your an ice hockey fan or baseball.
Bottem line is its a city,dont expect to make many friends and keep your head straight.
There are some great people living around Glasgow but you wont meet them in the city,dont be tempted to explore the outer glasgow,thats extremely unwise.

Do get out though , pair up with a work colleque , its a fantastic city and night life 2nd to none.
Use the centrel station in the heart of the city to catch a train to the coast , takes under an hour , get the ferry out ot the islands for a most excellent day or weekend.

I'm thinking about moving to Glasgow. So this is really quite useful. Thanks a lot.
