North East England - Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle, Newcastle.. This is the place to be!!

Too much memories in Newcastle! I spent my 3 years degree in this Geordies Toon, experiencing my first ever "oversea" time, get to see the first snow in my life, realising that I actually love Chinese food the most, learning how to greet people everytime you see them, saying cheers all the time beside tossing the glasses, giving hugs as well as receiving them, being brave to voice out, learn how to be proud of myself, respect own's will...

If you have chance to visit this place, don't miss out the famous Quayside. You can actually walk to Gateshead, across River Tyne by Millennium Bridge or Tyne Bridge.

If you are coming from the South, you'll see the "Angle of the North" along A1, welcoming you to this most friendly town in England.







Newcastle is served by GNER rail. It takes about 3.5 hours from London, and another 2 hours to Edinburgh. Newcastle is relatively developed. Beside the normal bus services, you can travel inter-city by Metro. The day ticket is just about GBP4 (if I'm not mistaken!!), and you can go to Tynemouth, Whitleybay the beach. You can also travel as far to Sunderland! Newcastle airport is about 20minutes drive from the city. There are a number of budget airlines, for e.g. Easyjet, Jet2, Flybe etc. that offering cheap flights to major cities in UK and Europe.

And hey, Newcastle is very famous of its nightlifes! You'll be amazed by local Geordies girls wearing mini-skirts, sleeveless during winter 0 degree Celsius!! A scene not to be missed! Newcastle is also home for Newcastle United Football team! And ChinaTown is just directly opposite St. James's Park. "All you can eat" Chinese buffets from GBP5.99 during lunch or from GBP7.99 onwards in the evening. It's really a bargain!
