The land of Terry Chocolates!
It was a day filled with excitment from the beginning. Me,edmund, and two other friends decided to follow edmund to york as he will be having a confrence there, so might as well go there also since i never been there before.
The morning was damm shack from the halloween party the nite before yet to recover and only have about 3hrs of sleep before embarking on the journey towards York. We were there at the train station by 6:30am and had to wait for 2 other friends to arrive. Me and edmund was worried we can never get on the train on time as our friends was still on the way...then the annoucement came and say that the train will be arrving at platform 14 which was on the other side of the machester picadilly station. It was a race to the platform for both of my friends and they finally made it in the nick of time. Guess it's the first time they had to rush for a train hahahaah...but anyway as soon as they sat down they doze off leaving me and edmund still awake reading the news and magazines and seeing the scenery.
Upon reaching we could not check into our accomodation as people only check out at 11am so we decided to go and get some nice english breakfast. It was bloody raining again damm the weather in UK. Anyway we had breakfast at a cafeteria which sell some cheap breakfast and boy was i full. Then we decided to walk to York minister and boy was it big and magnificent. It's a damm big cathedral and it take about 240 years to built which was damm long, guess thats the way things goes during the early years. The cathedral has a wall of kings which showcase the 1st king till the last king to rule england and boy was i impressed with the design all was so sophisicated and artistic especially the glass windows. During halfway edmund had to leave for his confrence, he will meet us later for dinner later. Me and my 2 other friends decided to head back to the hostel as we were very tired, as soon as we saw the bed we doze off like we have never slept for ages hahaha...We decided to go to the ghost hunt which was about 1hr+, it prove to be very funny in the process and we enjoyed it a lot with the company of about i think 300 people. Then we had dinner at a restaurant which sell again some english food and it was good in fact we were the last customer in the resturant again.
The very next day we headed to the memorial war garden to take some pictures as i saw some trees which were very nice due to the atumnm season with the golden leaves hanging. Then after that we decided to walk around town where we decided to stop by a cafe again for some coffee and tea. The cakes they sell there was fantastic as it was served in a huge portion and i dun think i can get it back in singapore. Anyway after that we met up with edmund and walk around town and saw a man in some strange apperance in the middle of the streats and we took pictures with him. Later after that we took the city bus and have a tour of york which proved fruitfull and we got some history of york. It was also the base for producing kit-kats but we didn't get to go to the factory and the other was terry choclate factory and they say that if you can smell the orange smell from the factory then it will be a nice weather. After the trip we stop by some shops and get some fish and chips and pies, before heading for the train station back to manchester. Overall York give you the kind of a small english town feeling unlike in manchester but i think i will be bored if i go to York and study hahaha...
Upon reaching manchester we went to oxford street and had steamboat which was very full as it came on a huge plate and it was fun as i havent had it for a long time. Soon we went back home straight and doze off and the time was 12am sunday.
