Letters from Abroad

Last October, my friends and I visited York, a trip organised by the university's chaplaincy for international students.

It was a two-hour bus ride, which didn't feel very long since I talked to Khaliz non-stop (which annoyed everyone else because I tend to laugh very loud. Sorry!).

Anyways, the city of York reminds me of Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. Really, it wouldn't surprise me if I saw people with wands and broomsticks walking about!

There's loads of places to visit in York. We visited the Clifford's Tower, The Castle Museum and The National Railway Museum. Window-shopped at Shambles. Took a ride on the Yorkshire Wheel.

Unfortunately, we missed the MAIN attraction of York which is the York Minster.

I'd love to visit York again, but if I were to come here again, I'd stay for at least a night, because I'd like to experience the 'ghost tour'! (provided that I don't chicken out at last minute!) Definitely make it a point to visit the York Minster first and not forgetting the York Dungeon.

York is a must if you're a camwhore. We took,literally hundreds of photos in a day!
