Tour and See The World!: February 2009

Pictures from Birmingham, part 3

Welcome back to Tour and See the World! In this series, I post pictures of Birmingham in England, UK. My intrepid traveller friends Mavis and Gladys visited Birmingham in England, among many other interesting places, and here's the last instalment of pictures of Birmingham.

Anyways, just for the sheer heck of it - the sheer fun of it - I was passing by the Arts canteen walkway one day and then I saw that there was a travel blog competition, and so I gravitated towards the booth - and now, I've signed up for some travel site competition. I don't know what's going to happen, but well, it's just for the fun of it and besides I won't win anyways (not with pro travel writers and pro travellers like Eunice K. from Travelerfolio, who's very pro!).

Anyways, here are the last set of pictures from Birmingham, so do enjoy as you tour and see Birmingham with Gladys, Mavis and me :) I am feeling a bit lazy, so I shall just post pictures and write rather little. Heh... :p

Oh yeah, this is a common sight. Train stations and trains! :)

And just as a totally irrelevant aside, when I was going to Oxford, I passed by Birmingham and we had to stop there, as the connecting bus did not materialise. I think the bus was delayed or something. So the bus service provided a taxi to take us to the train station, and from there we travelled to Oxford by rail :) This was the spot where I was. Just like in the picture!

And voila, what a blitz, we've come to the end of the series on Birmingham in England. We had a look at the City centre, the Bull Ring, Victoria Square in Birmingham, the churches and also many other interesting places like the BBC and much much more, here. Thanks for reading and cheers!

In the next post, here on my travel site, we will travel around the UK to many other places, and there will be more beautiful pictures of the great places that we travel to :) Stay here with me, cheers.

Pictures from Birmingham, part 2

Here is the second set of Pictures from Birmingham, part 2. Do enjoy them as you tour Birmingham in England:

This is the BBC branch in Birmingham. Every major city here in the UK has one BBC branch, including Birmingham and Manchester of course! This is the TV productions centre. You can visit the place and have a look for yourself to see what goes on behind the scenes - you can even visit the gallery and you can try weather broadcasting yourself :) In your very own video!

This is victoria square, a big atrium or big space, in the middle of the city centre here in Birmingham. There are fairs going on sometimes and this is one of the more quiet moments.

This is also taken from the Victoria Square here in Birmingham in England.

Here are some beautiful and very cheap road side flowers - these flower shops are all over Birmingham and they make the place very lovely. Mavis and Gladys wanted to buy some flowers, but the journey back to Manchester was too long, so they didn't :P

More pictures of Birmingham in England to come in future posts, so do stay tuned and thanks very much for reading. Cheers!
