Bull Ring!!!

Several days before leaving for Birmingham, I decided to do my research on the shopping and entertainment areas in the same. Being a shopaholic and a major foodie, I needed my regular access to all sorts of stores and restaurants. On browsing Aston University's web page, I landed upon this entertainment area, namely, the Bull Ring, which was featured on the web site! While reading the description about the Bull Ring, the one line that caught my attention instantly was that it was the largest entertainment and shopping area in Europe and was the size of 26 football fields. However hard to imagine or believe this may be, it was in fact true and one had to witness the immensity to believe it, as I did. Ironically, the entire closed area of the Bull Ring was in fact shaped like a bull, although it was a challenge to differentiate the front from the rear! All jokes apart, the entire structure was a marvel by itself and fortunately, this did turn out to be convenient for the Aston students as by the blink of an eye could one reach the centre of the biggest entertainment area in Europe. One could find anything under the sun and modestly speaking, anything from A to Z. While even a single day seemed to fall short for us to cover the entire Bull Ring, we decided to cover it in parts and surprisingly, we yet did not end up entering all the shops! Well, for now I was indeed ecstatic about all that I had seen in Birmingham and was indeed keen to know what the next few weeks had in store for me. As the week ended, the next week was about to begin with meetings with our student councillors and other formalities that had to be completed at Aston. As I fluffed up my pillow and drew my quilt over my head in my hotel room on a Sunday night, I could only dream about what the Monday would begin like.
