Bangor

my room

Salam everybody, Ummi and my sisters and brothers have been wanting to see where exactly I had landed...bismillah, here goes:







the corridor

kitchen




views from the kitchen and snowy mountains!




down the stairs..

out the submarine doors



the 1990's (according to Wikipedia) accommodation style I live in


round the back

Maes Glas gym

my dorms from the back 

leaving accommodation backwards





nice idyllic American outdoor scene

the newer accommodations








the city gates



down to Morrisons






different view

to the masjid and train station

a left turn takes you along this road, the high street is at the tree junction all the way down (pretty funny, hey)

a left takes you onto this quiet end of the high street

the masjid is the painted house on the right and both houses gardens I think

Add caption

parking space, and you can see most of the uni buildings I study at in the background

I think the sign is 23 years old, the one they put up  when they built the masjid

teacher's corner








now let me take you back up to Morrisons

from where we go to Main Arts, which is the main university building, and if we enter the square..


we see this, and those 3 doors lead to PJ Hall, a big grand thing..

to your right is the Main Arts library

the inspiring extension


round the back of Main Arts




and the town of Bangor reveals itself................


Bangor is bigger than this, but I think this is the Northern limit (don't rely on my sense of the poles) as Snowdonia is beyond


I think you can see the sea looking left


I can remember what school this is (University schools I mean)


School of Law..no it is bigger..behind

School of Management

Weee! back to Morrisons to go see my school

down Glanrafon Hill




at the bottom of the hill, you see that to your right. The tall building is the Chemistry tower.

and Main Arts to your left

and this random gate

I told you you can see it from the bottom of the hill

and that's straight ahead of you, to the high street (way to the left of where the masjid is)

we want to turn right though onto Deiniol Road



how do you describe this buliding (Thoday) ?

across the road is the Deiniol library, where most of the science books are, so it's where I go


along the same side as Thoday is Memmorial

then a big green square

and this is my school on the left-School of Biological Sciences
(go ahead...but I like it hehe


they mashed up the Bangor City Football Club grounds, there's an ASDA coming in inshAllah. See the masjid in the background?

sorry, let me take you back to Morrisons. We could from Deiniol Road to the train station, but I don't want to confuse you.....so we go straight down this road

that's a train station


that is in fact part of the same train station


so to your right is this

and to your left is that...let's stroll ahead

you feel a sense of loneliness and travel at the station, and you forget everything about Bangor...(these dots should continue the dreamy sense of the words)





see, the station is behind me and this Deiniol Road keeping left

the way home from Morrisons


It didn't take me whole day to walk that stretch of road...it's just that..you know..I took the pictures at different times

welcome home Isa

Sorry, I'll subtitle the photos tomorrow or the day after inshAllah. I am totally knocked out. Salam.


P.S. Alhamdulillah done..and Salams everyone and family

  2. Salam. Nice post. Yeah I don't think giving directions is something that should go in your CV. Your place seems so very cold and lonely, not to mention distant. Please don't start feeling sorry for yourself. tum dee dum.

  4. lol jesus i couldn't help but notice that there were people in only 4 of the 4328 pictures that you posted, makes me wonder whether you live in a ghost town or something :P

  5. Oi, tht doesnt even sound remotely like me. Whoever attempted to do so: you FAILED. Pack your bags and hit the hay sack in your home town. But aside that, Jee, tht post was really nice. One thought that randomly crossed my mind as I read the post was where we would be if they depended on you to make compasses...oh well, guess the post speaks for itself. In any case, cool place and I see your photography skills are in continual improvement. Keep it up little man! In any case, take care of yourself.
    Hoping you are at you very best,
    Samir over and out (Tht's how its done!)
