Post-thesis-submission Trip to York!

Assalamualaikum...

last week on Thursday, me and my bestie headed for a short trip to Leeds after we submit our thesis on 1st September...I call it as post-thesis submission syndrome...but I could say that me and my bestie are the lamest people as other master students ie our friends headed for eurotrip but we on the other hand only go to LEEDS! yehaa we win...lol!~ ^_^v

upon reaching at the bus station around 12.30pm, my bestie friend, Nadirah, a PhD student in University of Leeds fetch us and brought us to the market just nearby the station...I love the market so much! its like Shepherd Bush market just that its bigger...then we headed back to my friend house to leave all our belongings at her house since we bring 3 big luggage...hahaha!!

after we performed our prayer, she bring us to have our lunch+dinner at Chacho's...

after dinner she brings us to her university since she needs to ask permission from her sv for a day off the next day to follow us to go for shopping! where to? read my next entry ^_^v

nothing to rambling about, have a look at the pixsss~ :D

just in front of the Chacho's...

while walking towards my friend's faculty

my friend's faculty...shes a PhD student in Engineering... :D

I told her that I want to see how engineering students lab would look like...and wish was granted...haha...full of machines!

they have flight stimulator lab! woohoo..

after she met her sv, we went back home...but this time we didn't use the route that we used before, we use another route which we need to pass thru a cemetery...thats the entrance to the cemetery...

   

inside the cemetery...the big building behind my back is a cemetery as well...maybe someone powerful or famous is buried in that building...and as you can see on the floor, the rocks are engraved with the names and year of people who died and buried there before...we weren't sure whether its a grave underneath the ground...but we come out with a deduction that there weren't any grave under the ground but maybe its just their way of remembrance of people who have died since we saw many tombstone scattered around the cemetery...

finish touring and since we were so tired, we headed back home and rest....

the next day, we went out early to go for shopping at York...before shopping, we went for a short walk around York...lets check it out! ^.^'

York train station

right after we came out from the train station, we headed straight to look for the York Walls...it looks like a Great Wall of China which covers the York City area...

the description of the wall...we came about this from Nadirah's housemate...she mentioned that we can walk along this wall which we will came about the York Castle which is the second attraction of York...

and so we walk along the wall...

there are some part of the Walls that we need to go down thru the stairs and climb it up again on the other side as the Walls are not continuous...

the other side of the Walls...

then we walk again...

its such a long walk until end up so we know, we are already at the Bridge that heading to the York Tower...

at the bridge...my favourite shot! auuww so sweet~ ihiks!

we walk along the bridge to go to the York Tower...

The York Tower

there is an entrance fees to go inside...for adult is £4.30...but since we were in hurry, we didn't go inside the tower...

tired of photoshooting, we headed to find a place for lunch...my friend's housemate did recommend a restaurant which situated just infront of the tower, Queenie Restaurant...but sadly, its close! they only open for lunch on weekends...haiyaa~~ and so we straight headed to find bus number 7 that go to the venue for shopping...

the bus stop is just in front of Pizza Hut as you can see in the pix...where are we to for shopping? read my next entry... ^_^v

for me, York is such a nice city...their citizens were so friendly! all the way long we were walking at the Walls, they greet us either "Helo", "Good Afternoon" or "Hai"...love that so much! :D ihiks~

ok thats all for this entry...read next entry to know where I went for shopping~

Bye~^_^v
