Day 9 – Chester
 |
| Chester Abby |
Chester is a very lovely city that I enjoyed visiting. It has many cute little shops and places to
eat. I didn’t really do much here other
than walk around, take pictures and browse, but I definitely enjoyed my time
here.
Something notable about Chester is the apparent lack of
crime. Even in the more industrial area
outside of the city centre, I didn’t see so much as a graffiti’ed wall. No broken windows or anything of that
nature. Even the streets seemed
relatively clean. I
like Chester.

It was here we encountered our first Poundland, a fantastic chain that is similar in theory to our dollar stores, except far more useful, and everything actually costs ONE POUND. I've noticed that our dollar stores range from $1-$15, and is mostly cheap plastic toys, which this place contains useful things like milk, shampoo, cleaning products, and packaged food items.
We walked on the Chester walls for awhile, which was delightful in giving us a nice view of the city, parks and the river.

We also encountered an awesome pub that had very strict regulations regarding dress and attitude. I wish I could find something like that here in Leeds, so I could escape the trashy, loud, hammered students in the evenings. Unfortunately, this establishment wasn't open when we were looking for dinner.
I had a very delicious fast food noodles for dinner. It was in a pad Thai sauce, with egg, tofu
and pineapple bits. NUM!
You know you're in England, when:
