it did? (waw that's a late coment XD)
umm.... i still hold to my 'leicester's boring' comment....
lived here 3 1/2 years now... and after Newcaslte it's nothing.... but then when you have to come back from Japan to here... it's even more depressing.....
anyway.... i have some pictures for you:
the cathedral
http://www.cathedral.leicester.anglican.org/ - if you wanna know anything about it.... i'm in the choir so... yeah :relief:
but, actually, they have relevence to this forum... they're the people whoe took me to Japan... we toured, and sang in many a church in Janpan, the choir master's wife is Japanese, and the Cathedral helped fund for the refurbishment and reabilitation of the burnt donw church in Toyama so... ^.^
these pictures i took my self, so use them at will... i did take some pictures of the Cathedral... butt he spires having alturations at the moment, so it's surrounded by scafolding and looks hidious >.<
the clock tower... it's in the center of Leicester
the main high street
the market... supossubly the biggest sheltered outdoor market in England...
the station (that suposibly got struck by lightning...
)
small example of some of the architecture in Leicester.... this is the Turkey Cafe.... never been in there, but when it#s about 6 pm... they set up a bubble machine up in the top window and when you're walking down Granby street, there's always all these bubbles.. which is kinda ool for the clubbers i guess....
err.... yeah, that's it... i have more but i'd have to scan them in and i can't be bothered....
and no, i don't go arround taking pictures of Leicester just for fun... i've just finished a graphics project on Leicester, for which i needed pictures......
Leicester does have a wide range of cultures though.....
my school is more than 50% asian... mostly Indian, Pacistany (yes, i
can't spell) umm. i don't know what the correct term is for people who live in that area of Asia... but i think you know what i mean...
there a fairly large Chinese comunity... apparently there's a quite big Ukrain sosiety... but i don't know how that works...
ummm.... Leicester Universitys ranked one of the top in the contry... it's Science department's very good...
DeMontford's a pretty good collage i guess.... for basic things such as art foundation... i know a LOT of people in leicester go there to do corses who can't aford University...
ummmmmmm......there#s a small Japanese community...
the education's supposebly pretty good here....
yeah... there you go....
it's ok..... but it's by no means a tourest-y place.... and there are a LOT nicer places to go if you wanna come to England, but not go to somewhere like Manchester, Blackpool, London...... like Hexham.... Carlise...... THE LAKE DISTRICT! *loves it*
k... i'm done being boring now.....
