Bristol is damn COOL...

I went to Bristol yesterday and guess what..i LOVE the place man...
it is a long journey there but me and CK made it there..haha(not to forget that he actually forget our tickets...lol)
So..Bristol is a city..might be smaller than London but is much cooler than London...
Bristol is actually a great city...damn cool!! it is actually a city stretching from the hillside to the hilltop..Cool rite? bet u havent imagine that.The shops are situated along the slope and one need to get up and down the slope in order to walk around the place. and one can see the Uni of Bristol Faculty of Law from below. it is a very very old building and it has a tower like structure. the building is actually 200 yrs old ald...surprising?? damn cool right? the shopping centres are not located at the city centre. in fact the Uni is more central than the shopping places, and there is also a lot of night life here with all the pubs and clubbing areas and riley's etc. etc. It is actually a harbour also and the Avon River(a real artistic name...i didn't invent myself) will pass throught there. As it has a high altitude then it has a rather windy and cold weather...haha when i mean windy it means really windy til u need to fight the wind real hard to get to there...lol
So..a little shopping before we met up our friend(FYI tht is the main purpose we go there)..
Aftee lunch we headed for the not-so cool british Industrial Museum and look around then to IMAX before heading to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. the name tells it all. it is a bridge suspended on a cliff...and guess what the bridge is great!!! unexpectedly beautiful(better than i imagined lol) the bridge is built by dunno-what-name and it is about 200 yrs old...woohoo..surprising rite but til now it is as steady as a rock... i was kinda expecting that it will b really suspending in the air and be really shaky. but in actual fact, the bridge shd b a little shaky(or else why the bus is not allow to pass?) Cars are allowed to pass through, so are humans. So 3 of us went to have a walk on top. and now the best bits come in...
When we walk across the sceneries are the most beautiful u have ever seen. It is overlooking the City of bristol and the coutryside. one can see bristol and lots of lush greenery surrounding it. It has really green hills surrounding it and it kind of make a contrast with the city. is a little bit like a contrast from london to countryside la but i think bristol makes a good picture. Even the air up there smells fresh...nice nice...3 of us juz stood there and enjoy the scene for a few minutes and then is photo shooting time~~
So after some time on the oh-so-famous bridge we headed for Temple Meads Station.It is about 200 yrs od and according t our friend there there are the real parts and the fake parts of the station. The fake ones are the more beautiful ones.lol we spent a few minutes there and then we headed for the student hall as i wanna take a look at the place.That takes another bus ride again~~
So we leave that really cool place at 8 and managed to get back on time..haha ...


I LOVE BRISTOL!!!!That place is super cool...i wanna study in the Uni there!!!!BUt it's gonna be a long long way...

p/s this is the 2nd time i write this ...the reasons is stated on the next blog...haih... =(
