the four right chords can make me cry

Ok, first thing to be said about Newcastle is that the guy at the reception is very cute.

That having been said and gotten out of the way, the hostel I'm staying at is really nice! It's bright and cheery, even though it's housed in an old Victorian building. The rooms are nice and airy, beds are warm, showers are good and clean. And the whole atmosphere is very friendly! I find myself smiling at everyone around me. It starts with the staff, who are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. When I checked in, the guy at the counter got up, shook my hand and introduced himself, very different from the last reception I recieved which has a little cold. And did I mention he's very cute?

So I'm using the internet for free now because he gave me half an hour free! He asked me if I had eaten, and I told him I wasn't eating because I was saving money. So he asked me if I could make some toast for him (freeflow toast here) cos he couldn't leave the counter, and that I should help myself to as much jam as I liked. When I came back with the toast and asked for half an hour of internet, he gave me the coupon for free! Yay =)

Newcastle is a very nice city. The weather's been kinda sucky, cold and rainy, but it's a small place and I imagine, very nice to walk around in better weather. Some of the streets are lined with really gorgeous buildings, and the park Will recommended had the most fun playground in the world! Pictures when I get back to Birmingham ok. But the best thing in this city would be the Baltic Flour Mill, which is actually an art gallery. Really cutting edge stuff! I was thinking that Hozea would love it so much.

Was thinking of another fellow Zhonghuarian today, Timo. I went to the Newcastle United Football Club stadium at St James park to take photos for the aforementioned former schoolmate.

Bought gifts for my grandma and mum today, as well as a really cool goldfish pendant for myself! It was spotted among a messy display of other things, and I could tell that the shop lady wanted it for herself! She confessed as much later on. Muahaha. I saw it first =P

Very very broke now but still spending money because Daddy said he would send me some =P But there's still York and London to go so I really need to watch it.

ok, time is running out now!!!

oh yeah
