Cardiff + Liverpool

Cardiff, Wales

Interesting welsh language. Cardiff = Caerdydd. The sign below depicts the welsh translation for english. Nice quiet little city, with a beautiful bay! Its great for relaxing and everyone is helpful and friendly! Paid 8 pounds for a return trip from london, spent 6 hours there and explored Cardiff Castle (first established by the Romans) and Cardiff Bay (its a quaint little port town).
Fish and Chips with unlimited Chips. Though i was so full i didn't really want anymore chips. The chips were better than the ones i've had so far in london, but nothing beats the aussie version. nothing.





Liverpool - where the beatles came from, saw the rest of the world, and conquered.

Home to the world famous Albert Dock (pictures below), and its a nice city. Strange Scouser accent, which made me ask the waitress to repeat and repeat what she just said. Other than that, apart from a horrible bangers and mash, the city is rather beautiful. Heavily devoted to the beatles and Liverpool FC, it has many sights! just not enough time to finish them all!

Walked for 1/2 an hour holding my pee, because it was about 3km till we find the nearest toilet, in the city centre. Plus it was at most 2 degrees, so was dying really bad. When it was getting really bad, this really really hideous-looking lady (think Roald Dahl's 'Witches') grabs my arm and asks me to go into a shop. Promtly shouted 'no' and dashed off. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise! It gave me a much needed time extension to hold my pee and reach the toilet of hope.

My back was so sore from 6 hours back and forth on the bus. Especially the ride back, where there was someone sitting behind me with a serious snoring problem. From little grunts, to purring with his lips and full-blown thunderous snoring sounds. kept me awake much of the journey.





haha anyway, looks like everyone is having fun. Josh, your homework is legible, or illegible, but never eligible. haha. tickets to new york look cheap..............
