Liverpool

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE IN LIVERPOOL   17 July 2012

Liverpool FC , my family's favourite football team !
My brother was so jealous that I could follow Hallam Union and visited Liverpool !
Don't be jealous, brother... I got some souvenirs for you :)

Me, the one day football fans wore the Liverpool jersey bought from Liverpool FC for only £10 (Kids' size ... haha) but it was the previous season jersey !
Who cares ? hehe I still love the jersey !


Liverpool is located around 2 and 1/2 hours from Sheffield City.
It is another beautiful seaside city in England !
Spent a lovely day in Liverpool :)








First of all, we went to Liverpool Cathedral, which is the fifth largest cathedral in the world (in term of overall volume). 
It took over 70 years to build this super huge cathedral ! 

The interior design is so beautiful and it was so peaceful !
My friend told me that if you visit the cathedral on Sunday, you might have the chance to listen to the music !

Furthermore, no entrance fees is required but donation to the cathedral is welcomed !




Huge cathedral !



yee chin, me & chia sian

Flat 44 girls :)

Group Pic !


After that, we walked around in the city centre and planned to have a lunch in Chinatown ! However, most of the shop closed on that day and I didn't know why ! 


You can see that the Chinatown is so quiet !

Then, we found a local cafe and we decided to have our lunch there !
Too hungry to find another restaurant already ! haha
I had panini as my lunch ! It was so Y-U-M-M-Y !
Dare not to try new stuff at the very first minute, but K asked me to try and he ordered for me !
And it was quite yummy :)

However, K ordered a local Liverpool food and it turned out to be out of his expectation !
He couldn't take it ! haha 


The Liverpool local food.
Forgot what it called already !
Something like beef + potato porridge ??


After lunch, we took a cab to Liverpool FC !!!
The local British suggested us to take a cab there as we travel in a big group and when we share out the cost of cab, it will be cheaper than taking bus to Liverpool FC !
The taxi fares to Liverpool FC and backed to Liverpool One cost  £ 2.97 per person ! 
Don't shy to ask ! You might know more when you ask and the British are very kind and friendly :)

I think everyone knows about Liverpool FC ! It is a famous football club playing in the Premier League !
The club has won 18 League titles, 7 FA Cups and 8 League Cups !!! 

We paid  £8.3 to visit the football club and we had the tour guide to explain everything related to the club for us ! :)
*Remember to show your student ID to get a student price



In the antique yet comfortable cab :)

The Liverpool FC's shop
I got my souvenirs from here :)

" PIIII PIIIII , RED CARD ! "
Jack, the referee ! haha


We didn't follow Hallam Union coach back to Sheffield but we overnight in our friends' hostel !
Because we planned to go Cheshire Oaks tomorrow !!!! WOOHOOO~~~ Shopping !!!
Thank you susian and her friends for the room they got for us ! Really appreciate it ! 

We had our dinner at Lobster Pot !
The shop that my friend recommended !


Super BIG portion of dinner !
Regret for buying 2 meals ! Should share with someone !!!
Couldn't finish the chips !!! SO FULL !!!




Then we visited Albert Dock and delighted in the most popular Liverpool's attraction. It is a free tourist attraction and you can spend your time in the restaurants or bars !

The Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool. It was opened in 1846 and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world ! *source from wiki*

For me, it looks similar to the Straits Quay in Penang, Malaysia ! haha

It was so cloudy and windy on that day !
We planned to view the sunset but we couldn't stand the coldness !!!
Extremely cold at the night !
It was already 8pm something and the sky still bright !
Then we couldn't stand anymore, we decided to walk back to our friends' hostel !
Haha ...














Regret for not visiting The Beatles Story Exhibition !
However, we couldn't go every places in the limited time right ?

Furthermore, we already went to Liverpool FC le !! 

Once again, 
thank you susian for the room :)
