Day 1 - Cardiff+Liverpool+Chester+Birmingham Trip

Weather was cold, although it was sunny. Again, my friend overslept this time. The same person who was late to woke up and failed join me to Bradford trip. This time, she gave me a fright again. We caught the bus as the bus had started to move. Scolded by the driver, I felt it was so shameful. I always know English do not like people who are not punctual.

We stopped in Birmingham for 2 hours before going to Cardiff. I brought them to places where my new English friend, Andrew brought me to last week. We reached Cardiff at 4 o clock. What a coincidence!! That day was the concert of famous rock band, U2!! It was so crowded at the Millennium Stadium. All public toilets were closed. We did not know why.

We walked around Cardiff, following 'The Cardiff Centenary Walk' I found in the internet. It was so useful!! We went to Animal Wall, Cardiff Castle and buildings nearby to Alexandra Garden to take photos. We bought some snack and drinks, enjoying ourselves in the garden. A group of naughty boys came to us, talked shits and obscenity to us. We felt like they had the bad intention to rob us as they kept asking the price of the outfit i wore - belts, watch, shoes. I told them that we were not comfortable with their appearance and asked them to leave. Without surprise, they threatened us to give them 1 pound or ask the girls to show their booties. Oh gosh. I said to them that if they did not leave, we would leave. They gave in and went away. This incident had spoilt our day completely.

We walked for 20 minutes from the city centre to Cardiff Bay to view the night view. While on the way walking, we felt that Cardiff is quite an unsettled city. We all felt Sheffield is the most peaceful city among the cities in the UK we had been to before. Night was beautiful in the bay. We ended up sleeping in a carpark. The night was so cold!! It was such a suffering yet good experience. I was so glad that the girls were so strong and tough to have made it!!
