21st June
We went to Anglican Cathedral today. It is nearby China town and very far from the hostel. It took us a 45-minutes walk. Fortunately, it is worth. It is the largest cathedral in Britain and the largest Anglicant cathedral in the UK and Europe. It does not stand out from its outer appearace. But you will be amazed by its interior design.

Pic: It has the world's highest and heaviest peal of bells, highest and widest Gothic arches and the largest organ in Britain with 12, 386 pipes.
The choir was practising when we entered into the church. Visitor are not allowed to take any picture of any corner while they are practising. No idea why. The choir is made up of boys and mens. Some of the boys are very very young. They look 4 or 5 years old. The choir wear a gown, which looks like the gown that we usually wear for convocation.
We then attended the holy communion for an hour. It was a real life experience of listening to the choral evensong with the fantastic but noisy organ. Their ceremony is very traditional. It reminded me of Harry Potter. Frankly speaking, I felt touched when i listened to some of their songs.
We were not able to get up to the tower to see the scenary of the liverpool as it was closed on sunday as the church needs to ring the bell there. But i did get the pictures from my friend who has already gone up to the tower previously.

We also bought a few postcards there which only cost 35 pence each. On the way back, we went to china town to buy some food again. This time, we bought wan tan noodles. We knew that it was the dish Zhi Wei missed the most in UK.
I then realized that my degree convocation is going to be carried out at this church. What a waste!!!!It is my dream convocation's venue. Wearing the gown and stepping into the church just like Harry Potter. We guys will not choose to attend the convocation here however, since we would not be able to afford for the longer stay here. We can only go for the alternative, which is in KLCC for malaysian summer program students. I feel so sad.
