Matt: If I were traveling to Scotland would it be very expensive for me to spend time in Glasgow?

Rachel: I'd say there some of the hotels that are quite expensive

, but you can usually find a nice bed-and-breakfast

which would cost you

 maybe thirty pounds, English pounds. Scottish pounds even.

Matt: Right, right, right.

Rachel: A night, and that would have breakfast included.

Matt: Yeah, that sounds good. And what about like transportation?

Rachel: Glasgow's one of the few cities out of London that has an underground and it only has one line, so it's called the clockwork orange cause it just goes around in a big circle. But it's quite cheap to use. And the good think about Glasgow actually is it's walkable

. You can walk around the city quite easily without having to take transportation.

Matt: Yeah, that's good. And is that named after the movie?

Rachel: Yeah, I think so.

Matt: OK, alright.

Rachel: I think that was a sort of reference to it. Yeah. And it is orange. The line, the picture of the line is orange, so. And the buses in Glasgow are orange.

Matt: Okay, it's a theme.

Rachel: Yes. I don't know why. Different cities in Britain have different colored buses, like Edinburgh's buses are maroon and London's buses are red.

Matt: Yeah, everyone chooses a color.

Rachel: Yeah.

Matt: Does it match the flag or the region or local area?

Rachel: I don't know why Glasgow's orange and Edinburgh's maroon but that's the way it is
