Cardiff-bring an umbrella or...
-bring an umbrella or wetsuit.
-chill out in one of the bars.
-visit my church, just across the bridge from the Millennium Stadium any time, but Sunday Services are at 10.45am and 6.30pm. Don't be late you won't want to miss my singing! :P
-Try Thai food.
-see Welsh signs..everything is bilingual here.
-visit the Cardiff Castle interior.
-try a Welsh Rarebit (there's a good Welsh food cafe opposite the Castle called the Celtic Quadron, the only place that 'real' orange juice is served outside Marks & Spencer...)
-go out of Cardiff to meet the real Welsh people and the real life!!!!
-not call Wales 'England,' and never call Welsh people 'English.' I've told you...otherwise get extra cover on your life insurance (I'm kidding). Watching the Summer Sun setting over the Welsh hills on the footbridge between Art and Social Science Library and the yellow Woodville Pub, with a lovely view of my department... Looking out my bedroom windows to the most gorgeous properties in town, and got jealous all over again. £1.50 breakfast at Aberconway Refectory with my boyfriend, and Chicken Tikka Club Sandwich at the Aberconway Snack Bar. Laughing away with my friends in my office. Sitting next to a computer over looking the Millennium Stadium. Spring Student Union meetings in a room with two panoramic views of Wales, both for Sunrise and Sunset. Fifteen minutes bus rides to a brand-new waterfront development, half an hour to good sand and sea, five minute to a castle, less than an hour to a nearest hiking and climbing spot, a bicycle path that takes you from a city center to a national park (if you have the will and the legs to do it, I think it takes days!), £2.50 a movie every Tuesday with a student card (please produce it before purchasing the ticket thank you). Buying fantastic clothes from Pilot with 10% student discounts (be quick at producing those cards baby), cooking my first mussels and they were heavenly...Waiting for my boyfriend to wake up to go somewhere and it was too late to do anything so we went in Boots before he caught a coach back...Having fish and chips at Harry Ramsden and watched out for the seagulls at Cardiff Bay...Dance away to Gujarati music with friends in saris...Baking every Friday morning for the Economics Workshop.. But best of all must be the Cardiff University Dancesport Club!!!! Ballroom dancing like you've never seen before, nor have your papas and mamas.
PS The ice rink here is successful in attracting the hockey crowds, leaving an ice dancer like me rather clueless as to how to get in a rink for practice or to apply for a lesson...this must be Cardiff's best-kept secret...shame...
