Nottingham and Leeds!

Susan

And so I went up to Nottingham on the 11th of the 11th of the 11th of the 11th of the 11th... Ok. Let's not get too carried away here. Haha. I went up to Nottingham on the 11th of November to visit an old friend of mine from primary/secondary school. Well, she was the main reason anyway. The other reason was because of the annual Nottingham Malaysian Games.

It was really great spending time up there. We never actually ended up going for the games though. But I did get a good view of the University and the surrounding neighbourhood. I've sort of come to the conclusion that Nottingham is a really nice place to be in. Really quaint. But goodness me, there seems to not be any asian food around, nor is there a Chinatown! Blasphemy. 

Then on the evening of the 12th, we took a train up to Leeds. This time, to visit another good friend of mine from college (A-Levels). 

That's us: Susan, Audrey and me. 

I've been up to Leeds before. It's really cold up there compared to down here in London (obviously). We had a good time. Walked around in the morning for a little bit, and we managed to catch the Remembrance Day Parade! 

From there we had some nice Indian food at this place called Zam Zam's (or something like that). It was reallly good, and the portions super huge. I was stuffed beyond stuffed. Susan was particularly happy. She got a good dose of Asian food (and the night before we had a Chinese dinner)!

Walked around the city centre, took Susan to the Asian supermarket so that she can buy some stuff back to Nottingham (I still can't believe they don't have a Chinatown in Notts!). I couldn't help but chuckle to myself when she put a packet of fishballs into the cart. hehe. 

And then the labourious train ride back down to London. 

But it was a good trip. :)
