UK Trip- Blackpool, Manchester and Liverpool







After managed to scrape ourselves through the super freezing cold winter in Scotland, one of our friends decided to travel to 3 places located in the north west of England..those places are Blackpool, Manchester n Liverpool..we went there during the ‘READING’ week in our second term..as usual, never read in the so called reading week..haha..if u could recall, during our first term, we went to the beach n London during the very the same ‘READING’ week..haha..

As usual, we started our journey from Canterbury to the metropolitan city of London..then took another bus to Blackpool first..it was a 10-11hours journey..juz imagine,11 hours of sitting in a bus without moving..when we arrived there, my neck was like in an ‘L’ shape..can’t be moved..lalalala..then we began our exploration around Blackpool..it’s a nice city located by the sea..we took a ride around the city by a horse car..or wutever u called it..then to Louis tussaud museum of wax..then to coral island..where we spent hours playing the money machine..we wanted to go to the main attraction which is the Blackpool Tower, but according to the stupid ‘smart’ website, it’s closed, but when we there n asked, it’s opened that day, but already closed since it’s already nightfall..we were like ‘……….’then back to our villa n hav sum rest..the place was really nice..plus, the owner were very friendly..

The next day, we moved to Manchester by bus..only bout 1 hour n a half if I’m not mistaken..to be frank, Manchester is really great..i mean the city is really modern n the architecture was surprisingly superb..there’s the wheel of Manchester n others..n not to forget, Old Trafford!!home of the Manchester united football team..definitely we went there..n one more thing, Manchester is famous for it’s halal food outlet..there’s this 2 rows of a loooooooong shops with juz halal restaurant..wow..n it’s cheap too..i mean reasonable..hehe..one thing happened here..when I was going into 1 of the restaurant, I bumped into my cousin!!..wut the heaven..i haven’t met him for years..it’s mind blowing..but nice too..we had lunch together n went to his house..then off to our hostel, ‘Hilton’ Chambers..haha..not that hotel of course..lalalalala..but lip vi n me went off to sum extra walk around the city that nite..greeted by 2 weird guy thanking us for the party..owh..it’s CNY..n they thought we were among the organizers..ok wutever..then off to sleep..

On the final day on this uk trip, we went to Liverpool..it’s where the Beatles man..ahaha..n definitely metely not to forget, Anfield!!!!..home of the Liverpool football club..i’ve been a Liverpool since like forever..been like crazy when we arrived at the stadium..took countless photos n else..finally I got to be there..hehe..
