York - The oldest city of UK

27th June


The pictures show York Minster, one of the 7 wonders of Britain. We heard that york is not an attraction before going there. But since we have paid, we went there to have a look. York is the oldest city in UK. It is well known for ghost, probably because it is the oldest city. We first saw York Minster, which is europe's largest gothic cathedral. I am confused now about the difference between anglican and gothic church now. We were only able to take its picture from outside as we did not wish to pay to enter into the church.

There was nothing much to do. I suggested to go into York Dungeon. To my disappointment, none of my friends except one wanted to get in. 6.50 pounds is too expensive for them. In the end, only a friend of mine, Pooi Lai and I took the challenge. We queued up for 30 minutes. The cashier counter is not at the entrance.

Before paying for the dungeon trip, there was a photograph session. We then proceeded to the cashier. Oh my God, we were charged 13 pounds each. We further clarified the payment with the cashier and we were told that we had to book in advance from internet to get 6.50 offer. We might give up and get out from there if we were still at the entrance. Unfortunately, we had already been inside of the dungeon. I believed there is an exit at somewhere. Somehow, we both paid and continued the journey, hoping this famous dungeon wont let us down. To be honest, it was not scary, fun and interesting AT ALL. We just heard story in different rooms for an hour. They might scare you all of a sudden sometimes. But you might not get frightened as there were about 20 persons per trip.
