Let It Snow!

In winter season, York, England, United Kingdom

One of my best experiences ever --> Finally, I touched snow! Yeayy! :D I never thought that I could see the snowflakes and even touched it. The degree at that time was -6 degree Celcius. It was predicted that the snows wouldn't fall down at that time. But then, suddenly, it changed! I even made snowball then. Really awesome!

When It Turned to Winter

York, Yorkshire, England, 2012

Perhaps, I'd be the most old school girl on earth (or...you might feel the same :p). As an Asian traveler like me who have been living and grown up in such a tropic country which only has 2 seasons in a year (dry and wet), then went abroad to such a developed country like United Kingdom with 4 seasons, I felt like...well, I gotta  deal with a cultural shock, like seriously, including the weather. It was indeed my first time in my life accustomed to winter season. The degree I had to acclimatised was below 5 degree Celcius and I was almost...frozen! >_< But, it became my marvelous experience for sure hahaha. I visited the city of York, the most historic and romantic city I've ever seen in the United Kingdom. I went here with my Indonesian colleagues and did explore this enchanting city. I was adored! This city was so beautiful! (ain't hiperbolic statement. Trust me :D)

It was that time of year when things got a bit colder and darker outdoors, but thanks to some incredible winter festivals held in the city centre and a cup of hot chocolate I bought at a small coffee shop inside the railway station, I've got a lot of ways to keep things bright and warm :') Moreover, my most fave things when it came to winter was the bared unbranched trees. If only I could climb till the top of those trees (and I really wished I could do so :p) Would you find me odd? Hahaha well, forget it!  

Anyway, there were hundred splendid pictures I took (I too fell in love with nature). The scenery never failed to astonish me and always uttering, "Oh Lord, Glory be upon You." Here are stunning photos taken in March 2012 :')
