C
ardiff is a whole lot differ-
ent than Carmarthen in
every way. It’s a huge city
with vibrant cultural scene. The
streets were packed with pedestri-
ans. Whenever I turned around,
hoardes of people running
around with errands and shop-
ping quest. I could see Italians,
Chinese, French and even Malay
walking on the streets of Cardiff.
The people flowed like riv-
ers, never stopping for obsta-
cles but swirling around them.
Walking through the city cen-
tre I heard trumpets blare in
the distance and crowds clap
enthusiastically. Here, you’ll
find live music everywhere. The
band in the video managed to
catch attention tonnes of peo-
ple in the crowd. Being there in
that moment right there made
me feel energetic and goes to
show how vibrant this city is.
A waft smell of pastries caught my at-
tention from a small cafe and I made
a stop to try some. I sat down out-
side, cast my eyes upward towards the
Welsh Flags, decorating the streets row
by row, fluttering in the wind. Look-
ing around I see there are a lot of Ha-
lal restaurants too here. The ambiance
made my presence feel very welcom-
ing and I’m not sure how to describe it.
I walked into Cardiff Market and
wondered if I could bargain some
souvenir. This indoor market right
in the centre of Cardiff is ideal for
shoppers to have some real bargains.
There is a wide variety of goods
to purchase from sweets to jew-
ellery and everything in between.
