Day 1 : Birmingham

The second most-populous metropolitan city in British city, the reputation of this famous city known as 'city of a thousand trades'. FYI, in 2007 Birmingham was ranked as the 55th-most livable city in the world and the second most in the UK, due to the standards of living. 'Brummies', err, most impressed, the Chinese here at least far more better and friendly as compared to LEEDS! And of course, our hosts (Uncle June and Aunty June) really treat us well with delicious home dishes, nasi lemak, sing k, bring us around the city center, really thanks a lot!! (:

We reached Birmingham Moor Street coach station by 10.30am, felt so bad throughout the journey, there's few passengers seems out of control, keep on fooling around in the coach, making sound pollution *hatred* All of us really not in the good mood! Walked to the nearest market and mall, World Famous Rag Market and Bull Ring. There's plenty of goods selling at Rag Market, from the perishable goods to the daily use, clothes, electronic stuff, etc. Had our breakfast in front of the Effiel Tower at Bull Ring, hahaha..



Continue our journey to the biggest Cadbury World at Bournville!! Hoooorrraayy!! =D

It's marvelous, it's chocolate world you know? It costs us around 10pounds for entrance, and you'll get the chance and visit to every single corner in the factory. The chocolate smells and tastes of the places really tantalizing! There are fourteen amazing zones which can let you experience the history, manufacturing, packaging, demonstration, making chocolate, etc. After that visited to the World's Biggest Cadbury Shop, there's a wide range of chocolate choice out there. One thing I cant find it in the shop - MINIROLL, oops, porky, really sorry. I'll get it for you when I meet you for sure!! (:




After the 2hours fantastic tour in the Cadbury world, back to the Bull Ring again, searching around nice food at China Town. Coincidently, we had our dinner at Big Wok Oriental Buffet which is the famous buffet without any prior knowledge. 9.99pounds, really damn expensive, but it's really really really nice!!! PRAWN!!! it's soooooooooo long time i never eat Seafood!!! too bad, it's wasted as if i go for buffet!! Plenty of choices here, fondue, salad bar, main course, soup, ice-cream, chicken, seafood, pork, beef, blablabla.....

Everyone almost low batt, back to our accommodation which located at Jewelery Quarter, people, you know, it's more than 100 jewelery shops along the streets and most of the jewellery made in Britain is produced here. The Big Wok Cafe, for oriental cuisine, yupz, we will be overnight here for one night!! Aunty June really treats us so good, provide us the accommodation, SING K and NASI LEMAK!!! really make me miss Malaysia so much, i miss Steven Corner, i miss Nasi Lemak, i wanna SING K!!! sing~~~~~~ sing and sing.... until 4.30am, hundred of unwillingness go to bed!
