BRIGHTON TRIP

11 APRIL 2009

It was easter day for britain...as the locals celebrate their easter day with easter eggs,,we, the malaysian group, plan a trip to brighton(south of London),,

We were ready at 7:30am,,most of us arrived at the bus station already,,though 1 person was left out as she was not at the bus station,,it seems that later we found out she only wake up at 11am,,

The bus station was called Victoria Coach Station,,near the famous Victoria Tube Station,,at 8am,,we board the bus and off we go to Brighton,,

The bus journey took 2 hours,,it reached brighton at 10:10am,,at first,,i thought brighton was going to be an eye-opener place,,however,,it was a seaside town,,stone beach,,but its good enough,,because this is my first time in brighton,,

Brighton was only famous for the brighton pier,,a place for fun fair and casino,,we spent most of our time there,,some of us played the dangerous stuff like booster(a long rectangular machine with 2 ends,,at each end there are 4 sits,,so 8 sits total,,and it swing 360 degrees,,i hope my description is good),,haha



I went to play the casino,,a slot where 2pence penny was to be found,,put a 2p pence inside and see whether the machine push my 2pence to other 2 pence,,wait for other 2 pence to fall down,,thus earning some 2pence penny,,lol,,,i lost 1pound worth of 2pence playing that...

Later at the afternnon,,we went to eat the world famous Fish and Chips,,,it was located near brighton pier,,so we went there to have our first meal on that day,,there were 2 choices for their recommended dish,,either cod or haddock,,i called haddock,,it was tasty too,,,



Later we went back to the beach after the meal..it was drizzling..my friends and I were lazying around the stones,,oh yeah i forgot to add that along this beach,,there were many stalls selling some sea food like jelly eel,,the price of the jelly eel was very interesting,,because the more we visit the stallk,,it seems to get cheaper too,,haha,,some of us bought during the earlier stalls and then realised it was so much cheaper at the end,,,



Sharp 4:45pm,,we had to leave brighton and board the bus back to London,,That day was still fresh in my mind to this day i wrote this blog,,
