Liverpool...One Month Later...

When you are enjoying the splendor of things, often time passes very quickly. Its been a month since I landed upon Liverpool, renowned for its distinct Scouse culture and of course, to my liking, its fervent passion towards football.

A great city, though not magnificent. Liverpool has its charm that I came to appreciate and love. Not really busy, but you can get basically everything that is to offer in order to survive. Personally, I don't ask much. Food is adequate, people are friendly, lodging is decent ( if you want to compare to the hostel in TARC, you can use the word "awesome") and environment is very refreshing.





















Some people would complain that it lacks the buzz (most shops closes at 5pm). But I like the way it is. After all, the buzz doesn't help if you want a study environment.

It takes time to adapt. The weather is especially very unpredictable. One day it might be hot and shiny, another might be windy and rainy. Its kinda a ritual here to stretch your hands out the window in the morning to "get-to-know" the weather. But according to the locals, its the best summer they had in 4 years, with the sun shining almost everyday and the occasional breeze. They really like the sun here, unlike us back in Malaysia.

Liverpool has a great city centre. Everything's there. For groceries, its Iceland, Tesco, Home Bargain, Poundland, Sainsbury and 99p Store. For clothings, Primark (insanely cheap stuff) and Sports Direct are really my preferences. As for eating out, Subway and Lobster Pot are kinda the must-stops. McD and KFC for occasional breakfast and there is this Chinese place called Marybone Fast Food Centre which offers super-sized value meals.
























Insane proportion for around 3 pounds.

As for studies, I have to admit that the psychology course is way more relaxing compared to the other courses (as of this post). In addition, the lecturers are pretty much helpful. Very seldom there are left-for-dead situations.

Travelling around is considered a luxurious must (don't know how that works). I regreted that I can't visit every places that are offered. But so far, Chester, London and Manchester have been very enjoying.

Walking is the most appropriate transportation for budget students from a third world country. Bus rides are rare. Bicycle is a luxury. Cars are...well..you get the point.

Not forgetting Anfield, my personal theater of dreams. To actually stepped into it is already ecstatic. If opportunity arises, a feel of the atmosphere of matchday would be perfect.
















So here it is. One month of summary reporting from Liverpool. Still alive and kicking.
