Window shopping in Swansea on 28062008

Sat morning, i spent some time in Swansea before going back to my uncle's house.
From the bus station, i walked to the train station. On the way, saw a lot of shop houses.

British Heart Foundation - it sells shirts, shoes, bags... to raise fund for the BHF.
i like their logo, looks like an ECG wave, but with a heart shape... very special...

99p stores - everything under a pound.
the place where i bought my cheap umbrella and children beach sandal.

sports world - always got sales, they sell sport products eg: jersey, sport shoe...
the place where i bought my sport shoe and nike cap.
those sportsmen and sportswomen will definitely like here. they always have sales from 10-70% off.

Marks & Spencer - it sells trendy, fashion, tops and pants...
but i think only the working ppl can afford to buy things here coz they are quite ex..

Lloyds TSB - My bank. I opened the account in the university branch, not the city centre branch. I have heard stories of difficulty in opening an account as international student. i felt lucky to open it in the university branch as less procedure was needed.

COSTA - the coffee that u can find anywhere in UK
COSTA in UK= starbucks + coffee bean + kopitiam in malaysia
you'll see a costa coffee house in every station of their service centres along the motorway (just like our rehat in the highway)

Thomas Cook - i thought it was a cooking school when i look at the name
actually it was a travel agency

Orange - the phone line company. so far, the ppl i met are orange users in UK.
it's like maxis in msia, but then they sell very cheap phones in package with their sim cards.


Amateur1 on the street- playing some old songs with the guitar

Amateur2 with his dog. Look at the balloons behind him. Wah, i hope i could get one...

Look at this bus/lorry. it belongs to a yogurt company. they set up a tent from this vehicle to promote their products. i think it's very creative to just pull out the tent from the bus/lorry.

Wah~~ hundreds of teddy bears... very cute lei, they were displayed by a teddy shop.


Guess what is this? they are colurful, natural, organic soaps.... Looks very delicious!!!
But they are not edible...


The pigeons on the street is just like seeing sparrows in msia.

The black taxis in uk. I think they look like those cars that carry coffin. Touch wood....

No more pics liao coz my digicam ran out of battery.
But then i went to argos to lok at the furniture. i met an indian old man while flipping thru argo's catalogue. they have two, one thin one thick. the indian man asked me a question.
IM: any bad~~?
JJ: sorry?
IM: got bad~~(pointing onto the new catalogue that i was holding)
JJ: ( i thought he was saying...) not bad? very good?
IM: no... bad-do~~
JJ: oh, this one better? ( i was pointing to the old catalogue and guessing what he meant?)
IM: no~~ no~~ bad.. bad-do~
i totally have no idea on what he was saying, i continue to flip on the catalogue. finally the indian man saw what he wanted and pointed to me. it was a BED....
HE WANTED TO KNOW DOES THE CATALOGUE SHOWS ANY BED.....
super sweat ah... after struggling for so long, i finally knew what he meant.

i came out from argos after clearing my doubt with this indian old man, continue my journey to the train station, took the train back to my uncle's house.
