Saturday on Student Tour around Portsmouth & Visit to Gunwharf on 30th Sept 2006

I joined student tour organised by the university international office on saturday. My Malaysian friend Bel and i got the ticket many days back from the office. hmm..kiasu leh? Siti, the Portsmouth University student promotion officer from KL office is here for a month training. She also joined in for the tour! it was a two bus ride around Portsmouth. Three of us happily went onto Portsmouth uni bus and we met some malaysian students who came along as well.

Unfortunately, the bus didn't stop for us to take photos, he only gave us a break at the hill top there. But, that's good enough to see the entire Portsmouth island.

This is my new Malaysian friend, Bel. We meet in Heathrow airport, London. She is a civil engineer with 10 years of working experience. Don't play play ar!!!

Tadadaa...This is Siti from KL office. Poor woman didn't bring jacket, she ran into the coach right after this picture was taken! Sejuk ar..Siti!!!

After two hours of tour, three woman (Siti, Bel & I) walked to the Gunwharf shopping centre. Wow..tell you what..so many shops and so many sales!!! M&S warehouse! Next warehouse! a lot of warehouses in this area!

While Siti and Bel were enjoying their jacket potatoes with butter, i found this shop called 'Cadbury factory shop'. Those chocolate lovers out there...you must remember this shop.

Lots of variety of chocolates in there. The most important part ...the price is reasonable. i think i can't live without chocolates these days since i started eating chocolates 4 months back. Someone should know who to be blamed??!! anyway, i bought a big bar of 200mg of cadbury with 99p. i was so happY!

After Gunswharf, we walked to another part of city. see the picture below. This is Commercial Road.

It's a busy road in Portsmouth. There are banks eg HSBC, Barclays, Natwest, bla...food stores, phone shops, Bhr, Dabenham, M&S (ops, not warehouse), Primark ( a new shop and i can't believe it, the clothes are nice and the price is gooooooooooood! baby shirt for 1 pound!!! Siti grabbed a few pieces for her 3rd son! Bel & I kept on shouting in the shop, 'Siti, this is nice! Get this! look! buy!'). There is market from thursday till saturday and we can get fresh fruits, cheaper than tesco. At the end of the road, there is Tesco and Sainsbury (yet to visit).

Another famous building near my hall is Guildhall Walk, just 2 mins walk from my hall. You won't miss this building.Some youngsters like to gather here on weekends. i have to walk past this building to get to Commercial Road.

ok..more pictures to come in near future!
