Before I head back to Cardiff in the evening, TG and C decided to bring me to Chester for a half day trip and it is only a 20 minute drive!!
Didn't get much pictures of Chester but we hung out at their town for a little bit. It's a small town but nevertheless one of the most 'english' towns I've ever visited. It's beauty would awe you and you would have no words to say it.
and bye bye Wrexham :c
Signing off!

So it was bye bye Chester!

I fell in love with Manchester straight away, it was like a mini London with beautiful and high rise buildings and they even have the same street names. Where is the creativity people?
Went over to Fig and Sparrow to have breakfast, had their peanut butter brownies and had their hot chocolate. I totally recommend this cool place, not only do they serve food but they have their own products which they sell too.
On the same street as Fig and Sparrow, there's another cafe called the Blue Daisy cafe and next to it there's a second hand vintage shop. Amazing shop, really. I wished I got something from there but I didn't :/. The next time I go to Manchester I'll defo get something from that vintage shop!
I love the transportation in Manchester, they have trams (similar to what Athens has for their transport) and they bring you everywhere! It's similar to the tube in London but thank god this isn't underground because I hate the underground air.
Had lunch at Gorilla's beforehand and their food was alright for me, typical English food.
We decided to take the bus to Old Trafford after walking around and simultaneously head on to Trafford Centre after that because it was super close to Old Trafford anyway.
Am not a fan of ManU (More of a Chelsea F.C. fan) hahaha but they did win alot of awards and Fergie's done a great job.
Anyone who's planning to go to Manchester, please head over to Trafford Centre!! It's like the biggest shopping mall I've ever been to and I was famished from walking all over!! I didn't even have time to enter the food court.
We were supposed to have Malaysian food for dinner but the place was full and I was already grumpy and tired as hell from walking everywhere so we ended up at this Chinese retaurant and the food wasn't bad. I only ate the vegetables and prawn LOL.
But anyway, got my chatime after that (which undoubtedly sucked, ok guys don't get the chatime at Manchester's chinatown, it sucks baddd and it's coming from me!!! Chatime's number one fan!!) And it was back to Wrexham!!
Next up would be our half day trip at Chester!! :)

Hi everyone, apologies for the super duper late update regarding my trip to Wrexham (North Wales), Manchester and Chester. Hehe, as you all know I am a slow updater anyway.
It all started off with two of my closest friends from Cardiff being placed in Wrexham, North Wales (Approximately 4 hours away from Cardiff aka South Wales) for their medical placements. I've promised them that I'd visit them and so I did! Their description of Wrexham was that the town's so small that there's nothing much to do there.
True to description, the town itself is small and walkable everywhere as comparable to Cardiff but being a visitor there for the first time - I actually enjoyed Wrexham and it's environment. Although they only have one McDonalds which is ALWAYS crowded -_-.
Anyway on to details, I left for Wrexham on a Thursday afternoon and took the train there. There were a few stops and I had to make a 5 minutes pit stop at Shrewsbury in which I panicked because I had to run across to another platform to catch my train. It's alright since I got on the train anyway!!
Arrived at Wrexham and was greeted by C and TG who both came to pick me up from the train station. ^^
AAAAAND, can they be more amazing friends and hosts? They made pan mee for dinner!! Hehe. (Please do ignore my CMI face though, I was extremely exhausted).
Moving on to the next morning where both C and TG had to go off to the hospital because they still had placements going on, so I decided to take the liberty to explore Wrexham on my own.
The weather wasn't too bad and behind their accommodation, they had wild bunnies!! So adorable!
By the time I got there, most of their cupcakes were gone but thank goodness they still had a few vanilla ones!! They ran out of oreo cupcakes though :( sad life. I got the vanilla cupcake regardless and it was sooo good, like I swear it's actually on par with Emma Jane cupcakes.
So if any one of you do pop by Wrexham, go to this cafe early and purchase their cupcakes and let me know what you think of it!!
p/s Wrexham's pretty dead after 4pm loooooooool.
Played around before dinner and accompanied C and TG to Morrisons for their grocery shopping adventures as to which I bought a peeler because my house back in Cardiff didn't have one and I was there, so why not?!? Random af though.

The town was pretty crowded since I got there around 11 in the morning and it wasn't that far from the accommodation. It was easy to get around to. I was actually searching for a certain cupcake cafe but by the time I got there after 30 minutes of searching for it, I realized that it shut down months ago and they didn't update their website!! >:(
I wasn't happy since I was also sick at the same time. Anyway I moved on to have lunch with Celeste and explored abit more of the town by myself and ended up situating myself at their Costa coffee (i know lol) and settled down there to finish up some seminar work for the upcoming work.
I spent a good three hours there getting work done and downing my coffee like no other. I had the strong urge to have a cupcake so I decided to search for another cupcake cafe and thank goodness I found one which was open and it was going to close in half an hour! I quickly packed my bags and rushed over to that cupcake place.
So if any one of you do pop by Wrexham, go to this cafe early and purchase their cupcakes and let me know what you think of it!!

Wrexham's beautiful weather *inserts heart eye emoji*
We planned to head off to Manchester the next morning (amagad, to those who knows me well, I hate getting up early in the morning) but for Manchester I will!! Plus it was only an hour and a half ride away.
Manchester for part 2 next!
