The One With The Arrival

After a long 14-hour ride, I reached the Manchester Airport. I tried to be cool, went to take my luggage and gathered with some Malaysians who are also studying in Hull with me. Apparently, the University Of Hull was supposed to send a welcome team to take us to the university. We arrived at around 7am(London time) but the welcome team was nowhere to be seen. Luckily there were quite a number of us Malaysians(around 9 or 10) that took the same flight to Manchester so we grouped together. I took the time-off to make a phone call back home and went around to check out the airport.

...the only thing left that stood between me and England...

...an interesting find inside the airport toilet...

...that would be me, Koey and Erik waiting for the welcome team...
and we're proud Penangites!

There's another thing peculiar about the Manchester Airport. There is no rubbish bin anywhere! People tell me it's for safety precautions. Apparently, rubbish bins are the terrorists' favourite bomb-planting location. Could be true...

In case some of you don't know, I am not in Manchester. I'm studying in Hull which is the north-east side of England and it's around 2 hours bus ride away from the Manchester Airport. So after the 14-hour flight and the 3-hour wait for the welcome team, there's another 2-hour bus ride. Boy, was I psyched!

...not the kind of road trip I was expecting...

...well, we reached eventually...

and I was given the Brandesburton House...

...home sweet home, I guess...

As I was pretty bummed from the journey, I quickly unpacked my things so that I could rest. Then a dead bug caught my eye and when I took a closer look, I was horrified...

it was as big as an AA battery!
