Pre-Liverpool
Posted by Jonathan Ng | Filed under Personal
In 2 weeks time, I’ll be at Liverpool. Thankfully, I’ve become more excited bout the “excursion”.
I think one of the reasons that drove down the excitement is the numerous sources of information and differing, often contradicting advices. Some say stuff are uber expensive in England - so expensive that the simplest of things will burn a gaping hole in your pocket. One of my friends got to know from friends, relatives and some lecturers that prices are pretty much simlar what you pay in Malyasia. And what of living expenses? A wealthier relative of mine claims 100 pounds is needed for a week, the Uni lecturers estimate 50 pounds for a week, a friend studying there says most use less than 100 pounds a month and my friend who checked with seniors, says 35 pounds a week. What the heck?! After some quick check with the friend who’s studying there though, turns out that 50 pounds a week is more realistic.
Oh, and what bout travelling in England after my studies? My dad’s badgering me for the lack of planning - hardly anything definite other than visiting my cousins in London. On the other hand, detailed planning is exactly ruins a holiday, according to a friend of mine. But then again, he may probably have much more information, owing to 3 months of free-time that I spent working instead.
Some people take this UK trip as a reason to spend - to get this and that. I admit, I may have fallen for this for a while, but after some good thinking - no, I had better be careful - it’s not worthwhile to buy some stuff just for 3 friggin’ months.
But really, who cares what others think? I mean, the important thing is that I don’t starve or freeze during these 3 months right? Yups, that’s what I’m gonna do. Find out all I can, throw my worries behind and enjoy the trip! Oh, I almost forgot - pray that I can fit my tripod into my suitcase, and clear plenty of hard disk space for the pictures..
