Settling In Liverpool

Sorry for the unprecedented hiatus. Its kinda busy week here.

And yes, Liverpool. Its an amazing city. The first week is of course an exploratory week for most of us. Lots of adapting needed. The weather is really unlike M'sia, as we really appreciated the sun very much.
















As we entered Liverpool...

We were then brought to our hostel at Atlantic Point, which I can't help but compared it to the ones they have in TAR College. Of course, its a far cry from that.




















Entrance to one of the blocks.

Each of us have our private room, WITH private toilets. A common room (with TV) and a kitchen is provided. They also give us a storeroom equipped with a vacuum cleaner, a mop set and a iron board. It might sound as if we are sakais to be amazed with all these stuff here in England, but really, tell me, how many hostels does that in M'sia?

Setting up took lots of time. We did some shopping of groceries and needed appliances. The girls would of course make a detour and screamed their way towards the clothes section. We try to get the cheapest stuff available, and the cheap stuff is like real cheap here, especially for beers and chocolates. Say 5 bars of Mars for 99p. Definitely would get hyper if you had all of them.

Next, we went to our induction where LJMU welcomes us.



















Students waiting in the Britannia Adelphi Hotel Hall.

Nothing much here as a couple of welcome speeches and safety advices were given. They made it brief and straight to the point, unlike Malaysians who would always have to go through the Yang Amat Berhormats and addressing every single people and animals and ants that are in the hall.

Much of the stuff are pretty much in pictures for the next few days. So do logon to Facebook for those.

During the induction week, we took trips to Chester and Liverpool Museum courtesy of LJMU. It was absolutely eye-opening and exciting to say the least. Most of the stuff are about history (which coincidently my fave subject in school) of Britain. Chester promotes their rich vein of Roman and Renaissance History.

Our Roman guide of the day.

Next up, classes started and of course reality kicks in.

SinEu out for now.
