Now I will speak about shopping in Birmingham.That is something I have done lots and lots and lots during the last couple of days.My previous shopping trips were mainly focused on primark but today I have found some really nice places to go to.
First of all I became familiar with the Bullring, a HUGE shopping centre!They have some great speciality shops like the Disney shop,a Birthday Shop and "Hotel Schocolat" where they gave me some real nice pieces of chocolate to try when i first entered.I could choose between champagne chocolate and one with port wine.The last one was delicious...next time I must try the champagne one..;)
My real heaven opened up fopr me a bit later when i found my closest big supermarket.TESCO.What a selection!!I will bring all the salesmen from S Markets and K Markets to learn what to sell and with what prices!!!I bought a bagfull of food for 13 pounds,including one sauce pan which was 10 pounds already!I HAD to buy some veggie samosas as they were only 1pound the 4 of them....
This is also THE PLACE for the vegetarians!Every single food item is being marked with suitabilities so if it doesn't contain any meat products is says "suitable for vegetarians" on it.:) Also all the information for calories etc. can be spotted very easily.I just love it!!
Our cantine at school is also brilliant.They offer a wide varietry of different meals every day.Surely they have chips for 50p (pence,not pound!) every day but they also have delicious veggie soups and good selection of salads there!And it is cheap too!Bowl of soup with a bread roll costs approx. 65p (again:pence)!!!Finnish school food can go to.....do I need to say where to with it's 2,65€ prices...Our school meals are also tasty as they have been made in our school teaching kitchens by the students of the UCB.They also have a little bakery shop on the ground floor where you can buy freshly made bread and cakes for taking them home.The prices are lower there than in the supermarkets too.
So far I am very happy with Birmingham!I really like this city.I enjoy the city atmosphere and this place can look pretty as well,you just need to find the right spots in it...;)
