Inspired by the vast clear sky that hangs above this city, Anglia and the group of 3 friends set out on a quest to find the ideal spot in the campus for stargazing. The quest brought forth trekking up hills and climbing over obstacles which proved to be dangerously thrilling.
Upon successfully reaching the peak of one hill, we were greeted by a family of agitated bees. Scared of getting stung, we trekked to the hill beside where we could see the runway of the airport. At some point, probably because we realized that it was not quite possible to climb up that hill in the dark evening to stargaze, we went off track and settled with waiting for planes to take off.
We felt satisfied after recording one plane take off and disappear into the hazy sky and decided to start on another quest that is finding a place to have lunch. The quest was not a long one for we found a minimart attached to a canteen almost immediately upon reaching the foot of the hill. I had chicken hotpot which came free with bits of pork ribs. In fact, I think there was more pork than chicken.
We stumbled upon
Having enough adventure for the day, we returned to the dorm to make use of the envelopes and writing pad bought earlier at the minimart. Just outside the school is the barest post office I have ever seen where we bought stamps for our letters. The place provided glue (for the stamp) which was disgustingly gooey but I ended up using it anyway. The man at the counter told us it would take 5 to 7 days for the letters to be delivered but I had my doubts. Will my once-in-a-blue-moon letter reach its destination soundly?
