The Hoppings, Newcastle

Went to the Hoppings in June which was recognised to be Europe's largest travelling fun fair. The Hoppings was held on the Town Moor in Newcastle upon Tyne. It has over 60 large rides and many more kids rides and stalls - everything from rollercoasters and funhouses to teacups and big wheels, fortune tellers and many food vans. What else when you go with a bunch of crazy friends?!! Wicked!!

Dublin, Ireland

Let's continue..the good old memories..

Right, we're in Dublin!!!! Ireland!

Going around Dublin is easy for tourists like us..just take the hop-on, hop-off tours where they have a number of nice places worth visiting. It's pretty cheap too! You can drop of at Abbey theatre, bank of Ireland, Dublin castle, Dublin city hall, Dublin Zoo, General post office, Guinness storehouse, Kilmainham Gaol, National Botanic Gardens, National Maritime museum, Trinity College, Phoenix park etc....Take note that most of the free entrance places like the museums are closed on Mondays.

Guinness Storehouse is one of the must visit place in Dublin. It is Dublin and Ireland's top tourist attraction. It was worth visiting though. It was opened in 2000, located in the heart of Guinness brewery in Dublin. At Guinness Storehouse, you'll discover all there is to know about the world's most famous beer. A dramatic story that begins 250 yeats ago and ends..where else - in the gravity bar with a complimwetary pint of black stuff. Gravity is the highest bar in Dublin where you can enjoy uninterrupted 360degree panaromic views across Dublin city and its hinterland.

Visited the Trinity College Dublin which looks very much similar to other colleges in England. Spacious.. The city of Dublin is very clean...easy commuting and the people are really friendly!

Irish coffee with liquer if 1 of the most thing to taste! It was really good.. very different from those coffee we have in Coffee bean, Costa, Starbucks etc.. The food there is also really good. Try those real Irish restaurants!

Kilmainham Gaol...historic prison

We have to sleep in the airport because of the early flight. It was really funny but unforgetable experience. LOL

Bournemouth and Boscombe, South England

Down to Bournemouth and Boscombe, South England..lovely town and beach but too bad it keeps raining..n'how, we it was still an enjoyable trip!
Stayed at the newly opened Lazy Shark hostel in Boscombe. Easy access, nice boss, clean room, trendy decor and comfy beds!! LOL (10-12June2010)

Bournemouth eye

The Boscombe Pier was nominated as the best UK Pier for year 2010. It was too cold for swimming so just we breeze walk on the beach.
