Finally, I am done with my one month travel. I still couldn't believe that I made it!!! YEAH!! Can't tell how excited I am when I first step out from the flight in London Stansted airport. Breathing the fresh air, watching the white skin people----> ang moh walking around, cold and windy environment, yeah, I have reached UK. I have traveled 9 countries in 38 days. Within this 38 days, I learned to be independent, learned to adapt to the western culture, learned how to survive in cold winter, and of course, I get to make friends from different countries. To make it easier, I will only share those interesting spots or things over here =)
The first stop we went is
London. London is a big and hectic city where people are rushing for their work, for their jobs and for their life. I don't really like London when I first got there because people are rushing here and there while we need to carry our luggage along, as if we were blocking other people's way. But later on, I was impressed by the efficiency and the manner of the people over here. They are helpful and they put on a smile when they work. Unlike Malaysia workers, especially the government workers, you will never see them smile. Perhaps I should say European love their jobs.I guess that's the spirit you should have towards your job. Anyway, back to the topic. We spent 3 days 2 nights in London. The below is the pictures of places we went.
Madame Tussauds which the entrance fees cost us 25pound.
I don't think it's worth to get in especially when you see Victoria is standing beside Beckham =p
The National Museum. Nothing much inside there but just dinosaurs.
But since it's free admission, so why not get in. hehe =p
Hyde Park. A very nice sightseeing place to be. I can feel the wind blowing towards my face, the people were having their rollerskating, dogs running around, and people jogging along the pathway.
London Eye. Much more better than Eye on Malaysia. =p
The Tower Bridge but it's sometimes mistakenly referred to as London Bridge.
Personally I think Tower Bridge is much nicer than London Bridge. Anyway, I forgot to sing the song London Bridge is falling down when I see the bridge. Hehe.
Dinner for 9. It's the best scene I love throughout the whole trip. You will never imagine how nice it is to have 9 Malaysians sitting down and chatting around together. I feel like I am back home. =)
The second stop is
Edinburgh. Before I been here, everyone is telling me that Edinburgh is a very nice place to be. I finally understand what they meant when I got down from the bus. The buildings there were amazingly great. There is basically 2 parts in Edinburgh, which are the old town and the new town. I prefer the old town due to the nice buildings. Actually, you only need a whole day time to walk around this city. Stay overnight if you plan to go to the lakes or they called it as loch. We went to one of the loch called Loch Ness. Loch Ness was famous because of nessie. I wa shoping to meet nessie but I guess it is too shy to see me =p. We took a tour to the Loch Ness and it costs us 30++ pound for the whole tour. It's quite worth as you can see a lot of nice view especially the mountain and the glands along the way to Loch Ness. The tour guide was fun as he shared a lot of the history of Edinburgh with us and he got a lot of lame jokes to share with. Unfortunately it was raining during the day we went to Edinburgh. I still remember that the first thing the tour guide asked us was Why you guys choose to come here during November. Everyone was just laughing. Yeah, it's not a good time to come during early winter. So, I think I will be back someday during other season cause Scotland is a really nice place to go. Here is some pictures of this city.
The night view of Edinburgh. NICE!
Castle...=)
Loch Ness. It's nice to walk along the lake to find nessie. hehe.
A MUST place to go when you come to Edinburgh. It's amazingly nice. You can see the whole view of Edinburgh and the view of sunset.
P/S: I will continue with my part 2 when I am free to do so. =)
