My second stop in my escape from London was Cardiff, the largest city and capital of Wales. The city motto: Y ddraig goch ddyry cychwyn (The red dragon will lead the way). Cultural capital, sport centre, vibrant night life, with many landmarks from Cardiff castle to the Millennium Stadium.
The Flag
The places to go visit while in the city are: Cardiff Castle a medieval fortress in the heart of the city, the animal wall, Cathays Park and the City hall, Welsh National War Memorial, Cardiff bay which is probably my favourite part of the city where you can enjoy a show in the Millennium Centre, contemplate the beautiful Pierhead building and the Norwegian Church, also have a bite or go shopping in the Mermaid Quay, and finally Roath Park with the memorial to Captain Scott.
Cardiff Bay and the Pierhead Building
Animal Wall and Cardiff Castle
The animal wall reminds me the Seinfeld episode “The Bizarro Jerry”.
Jerry: All right. How about this one? Let's say you're abducted by aliens.
George: Fine.
Jerry: They haul you aboard the mother ship, take you back to their planet as a curiosity. Now: would you rather be in their zoo, or their circus?
George: I got to go zoo. I feel like I could set more of my own schedule.
Jerry: But in the circus you get to ride around in the train, see the whole planet!
George: I'm wearing a little hat, I'm jumping through fire. They're putting their little alien heads in my mouth.
Jerry: At least it's show business.
George: But in the zoo, you know, they might, put a woman in there with me to uh... you know, get me to mate.
Jerry: What if she's got no interest in you?
George: Then I'm pretty much where I am now. At least I got to take a ride on a spaceship.
