ENGLAND TRIP & The MMU VISIT..

It feels really good once again hearing random people speaking "English".. not to mention the british english and that accent but english in its form of language at least. It actually were typical towards the similarities of building styles between UK and Singapore. I later recalled on the history of Singapore being british colonel and/ or in other words, fashion, food and lots more were closely adapted by Singapore. 

Moreover, globalization led to culture diversification. I have seen chinatown for the chinese, curry mile street for the indians and halal food restaurants catered for the muslims. People there were really friendly, well majority at least. "I'm here standing on the British land feeling the Great Britain breeze", thats what i feel and how i felt it when i was there. No doubt the fact of being comfortable with the environment and society, food was way different and noting the fact that English food is far too difficult to adapt. Except fish and chips for being the only great yum, the rest on the row were a big "NOT" for me. 

For a trade off of flying here was to attend programs organized by the MMU and boring trips that's checked a "must" on attendants. Myself wasn't really interested in visiting the manchester football club museum and black sheep beer brewery. eww.. God, those were boring when i thought of. Although i have never loved watching football matches and fancy beer drinking, but still, thats something new. 

Apart from the excursions, back in the campus we have got workshops waiting for our presents. Sugar handling, sausage making, wine, cheese and beer tasting were excellent choices. A bravo for who ever that planned the workshops. 

Speaking of leisure, shopping were as dirt cheap. I had gave a six star for the prices there. I almost got blinded when i compare the number of clothing items i grabbed and the amount i paid. On the second day of the trip, i got eight trendy items on hand and it only costed 88 pounds which in other words, less than 200 SGD. Just to certain the comparison, to grab stuff in Singapore, 200 bucks/nett on hand could only get you some 4 quantities the most. But also not forgetting the fact that you gonna get the chance of flying to England for free and thats how you feel the ultimate kick of being a shopaholic. 

Throughout the trip, Sira, Lilin, Yongyi and myself had taken millions of great shots. Lets see what we've got..
