Paper
Newcastle

Worth visiting!

I studied in Glasgow

for a year, it’s a great city, lots to do, loads of really fantastic architecture. Go check out Tchai Ovna a secretive haven of a tea room which has poetry readings and over 100 different teas with a garden filled with makeshift furniture and ribbon tied trees.

not really

I am still trying to come to terms with the geordie accent still after 15 years. Sometimes it was really hard to understand the glaswegian accent, and I was also friends with a girl from the Sheltland islands which is cross between Scottish and Dutch.

I think it was

around May 2004, I used to live on Otago street, which is pretty much next door to it, but they were rennovating it for a few months before I left. Shabby tea houses rule!!
