Last Saturday we went to Bicester village (pronounced 'Bis-ter'), probably the biggest factory outlet in UK. It's in Oxfordshire. Took the train around 3 hours including stops and change to reach there via Birmingham where we had to walked from one station to another. Turned out finally had the first chance to see how useful 3G can be. Yea, my bb bold lead me one mile through the city center to the station just on time ahaha. Well, actually we ended up asking for the way anyway. The train is doubtlessly extremely punctual. Leaves at precise time stamped on the ticket, which happens to be the same time on the internet when we booked a week earlier. Comparing to the ever so changing, Thai rail, I still cant believe how the governments, probably tens of them since King rama V age, never care to improve or just at least make it punctual and reliable for people to take, say from Bangkok to Pattaya.
At the outlet, there are several things I noticed. Asian people were almost half of the people walking there, lol.
There're heck lots of people like it's free stuff to be given even though the cheapest shirt there is 40 pounds. And just like any outlet there is, what they're selling there doesnt have everything you see in the retail shop, at least not what my friends were expecting to see lol. (even though they ended up shopping til the last drop of time given)
Next trip... who knows where I'll go
"Asian people were almost half of the people walking there, lol. "
