York
As an admirer of old towns (medieval towns, to be more specific), I’d known that I had to visit York someday. I’d been longing to go to York since I came here, but it isn’t that close that I could make an impulsive trip like I did to Winchester and Bournemouth. So after what seemed like…

A Step Out of Reality, Into the Imagination
I’m a big fan of Harry Potter, as probably everybody else in the world has claimed themselves to be. I started reading it when I was ten, sometimes wanted to smack my sister if she read one chapter for far too long (we decided to read it one chapter each, as no one was patient…

Winchester
Two weeks ago, I finally made a day trip to Winchester. I’d wanted to go there for such a long time, but somehow my weekends were always filled with something. A week before that, I wanted to go there to see the bonfire night, but finally chose to go to London instead to see my…

Remembrance Sunday
Last week I finally went to Winchester after longing to do so for quite a long time. And being eager tourists we were, Dwi and I took the early bus and got there before nine in the morning. It was a bit chilly so we decided to have some coffee at whatever café or coffee shop…

Snippets of London
It wasn’t a proper hello to London. I was only there for twelve hours, going here and there without a chance to stroll around and soak the atmosphere of the city (it was always rush, rush, rush). I even got on that hop-on-hop-off bus that I’ve always loathed. One advantage of that trip was I…

Cornwall pt 5: Tintagel
After such a long procrastination, here come the last post of the Cornwall trip. But before I say anything about this, let me warn you: do NOT believe any of these pictures. The place itself is hundreds times more amazing than this, it isn’t finely depicted in the pictures. The first time I read about…

Cornwall pt. 4: Cotehele
Picking up from where we left, the next destination was Cotehele. It was another impulsive stop, and a break from the coastal scenery. Cotehele is a medieval house that once belonged to Sir Richard Edgcumbe, a politician. Once I set foot in there, it was like being transported a few centuries back. The first thing we…

Cornwall pt. 3: Penzance, and a glimpse of St. Michael’s Mount
On the way back from St. Ives and Land’s End, we made a quick stop at Penzance, just to see ‘how it looks’. It looked quite like St. Ives, actually, if you look at one side. We didn’t do much in here. We just walked on the pavement along the beach, captured the typical Cornwall…

Cornwall pt. 2: Land’s End
Wow, I’ve put this off for too long. It’s been busier than usual in here with all the classes and assignments. So here’s the second part of the Cornwall trip. After St. Ives, we made a stop at Land’s End. The entrance looked like a recreational park for children with no hints of the sea…
