Thirteen floors, seven levels, 16 show rooms.

That's CineWorld, Glasgow. You have to ride either escalators or the horrifying glass elevator to move up, unless you just want to stay at the bar (second level), and the view from the 13th floor is spectacular. Frightening when you're in an elevator that moves rather fast and has glass walls, but spectacular.

You buy your tickets on level one (that's ground floor), and then ascend to whichever level your film is showing on. There are snack bars and bathrooms on every level, so don't worry about rushing up or down. The seats are comfortable and there's plenty of leg space; in short, it's one of the more comfortable cinemas I've been to.

The movies are much the same as you'll find elsewhere; they show the new releases. In that respect, it was no spectacular thing. It was mainly the building and the interior that impressed me. But Cineworld Glasgow is most definitely worth a visit, if only to ride the elevator up to the 13th floor.

I missed breakfast, which took some of the delight out of my experience. Sad, since Glasgow is such a terrific place! We spent the day shopping, mostly, and taking a guided bus tour around the city. There was an annoying American family on the bus, …open a Starbucks in Norway? Why?! Dinner was devoured at a Chinese eat-all-you-want buffet, but somehow, all the food seemed to be drenched in fat. Odd. We returned to CineWorld and saw Stardust. It was wonderful; 5/6. My new favourite store: Bhs … Day 2

Travelling takes a lot out of you, but this was more than I had bargained for. I went by bus to the train station, from there to Oslo by train, thence to Torp Airport by bus, and finally, by plane to Prestwick Airport. We had lunch and tea and every…Snack-a-Jack's and some Irn Bru (my favourite drink in all the world). Then we discovered CineWorld (see appendixes/reviews), and ended the day by watching Beowulf (I'll give it a 4/6). General feeling: slightly annoyed; likely due to travel strain and accommodations. … Day 1
