First Liverpool Trip

This was a pretty last minute decision to go for the trip. It was a one-day trip organised by the Caribbean society that meant to visit the National Museums in Liverpool.

Merseyside Maritime Museum shows all the ships and history that built or happened in Liverpool back then, while International Slavery Museum is mainly about the Africans that were human-trafficking by the Western power last time.

This is called the Yellow Duck Marine, also known as Water-Taxicab where you sit in and go for a tour around the area.

Anyhow, we took the initiative to explore Liverpool’s city centre after finished visiting the museums. Well, we spent most of the time walking to find places instead of shopping though.

The Liverpool's cathedral. I simply love the architectural-style of the cathedral and cannot stop looking for one in every places I go.

As for Liverpool fans out there, there are plenty of shops here selling Liverpool merchandise. We also stopped by at the stadium to have a look at it.

The Chinatown here is much bigger than the one in Birmingham. I am still wondering why Birmingham has such a small Chinatown. It should have a bigger one I suppose.

A tour around the area when walking towards to the Chinatown. Simply find the buildings are nice and steady.
