Journey to Cardiff

Today, CS-360 went to Cardiff, Wales.

To get there, we all took a train. This was a fun two hour journey, however, boarding the train was somewhat dramatic. This drama arose when some of us got stuck between two first-class coaches during boarding. We were stuck because we were told that we could not go through a first-class coach to get to our seats. Also, we could not exit the train since a station worker had told us that it would leave very soon. This meant that we could go nowhere, but we finally decided to go through the first-class coaches until we found regular seating. We eventually found seats (not our assigned seats, but seats nonetheless) and the drama finally ended.

NosDa Studio Hostel

After the train ride, everyone took a short walk along the river to our hostel, NosDa. Once inside, we were greeted and told about all of the benefits staying in NosDa, which were numerous, and we were told the story behind its name. Nos, in Welsh, means "good." Also, da means "night." So, NosDa means "good night" (like a good nights stay). Soon after that, everyone split up to go have fun. Some explored the mall and others sayed at NosDa to enjoy the food selection there.
