There's More To England Than London

It's been such an amazing week here in York. Don't know where to start! Really thankful to God for the opportunity to see what April's life in York is like. Managed to squeeze two day trips to Manchester and Liverpool on Wednesday and Thursday respectively. Visited Old Trafford, Anfield, bought tickets for Saturday's EPL match between Manchester City and Aston Villa, since Man U and Liverpool are both playing away this weekend. Hmm, a lot of our activities so far seem to revolve around football eh. Haha. Visited the Beatles museum in Liverpool and just walked around the two cities.

It's really surreal to be touring England with Apes. So different from the hectic school life I was living a few weeks ago. Truly a welcome break from hustle and bustle of Singapore. Have a lot to be thankful to God. For the financial means to travel (although I'll be super broke after this trip. D'oh!), and for better than expected results this term. Was so worried especially for Corp Reporting, and was just praying that it won't spoil my trip, but thank God that it turned out ok. Have to learn not to dwell on things so much. "Snap out of it" eh? =)

Leave you guys with some pictures!
