Land Of The English pt 1

Hohoho sorry this took too long for me to update. I was in United Kingdom for winter holidays for 10 days and boy it was awesome! Took AirAsia got good deals and was there for Christmas. Touch down at the airport in the middle of the night in UK time, and we were all half dead from travelling 13 hours on the plane. Check in to the nearest hotel in the airport Holiday Inn. The day we touched down in UK it was the 1st day of snowing in the year, quite lucky and yet not so lucky because it was snowing rather very heavily!

Crazily snowing for the next 2 days.

Next day we rent 2 vans take road trip up to Lake District, boy that was 1 exciting road trip. Have u ever try driving yourself on a road trip in a foreign country and with snow? Is damn dangerous and quite exciting actually. Roads is slippery highway is foggy, you can barely see the cars infront of you, maybe only few meters away

The weather condition is actually quite bad and dangerous. Even the windscreen gets foggy and blurry with the snow and is so damn freaking cold. 1 thing i hate travelling in cold country is you have to put on so many cloths, and taking it off and putting it on again.

So on the way there is this shopping place kinda like factory outlet. Branded stuff are very cheap here, brands like Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, Polo and many more, you name it they most probably have it. The reason why i don’t like cold weather is wearing so many thing, and i look like a yellow banana.

Here is like shopping heaven for girls and girls in my family, bought so damn many stuff but is really cheap compare to Malaysia. Buying a Burberry shirt cos how much? just about 20 – 40 pound which is about RM 100-200 where malaysia is about 400-600. Branded goods are just cheaper and newer overseas. One of the reason i like shopping in overseas is they have my size ! and is not as expensive and very affordable.

1 thing i always wonder, the weather is so so damn cold, but the dogs or animals no need wear winter clothing. So does growing long hair helps keeping you warm? Like animals hehe.

I was in a town call stratford-upon-avon, somewhere north of london while on the way on our road trip to Scotland Edingburgh, is a town where William Shakespeare was born and lived. So this where all the literature and poem origin from, the lovely lovely poem, quotes everything by him. Even have his museum but i dint visit, was pretty expensive to go in.

Here are some love quotes i took from the gift shop.

This is how the “kampung” looks like.

Looks like my bro are enjoying the snow. Stay tuned for more pictures and update !
