First time in the UK

Suzanne Chang, the winner of AIM Overseas' 'Win a flight to London on AirAsiaX' reflects on her first weeks in the UK:

"The UK has been pretty great lately and even though it's cold, it's not cold enough to snow. I have been shopping on Oxford St (probably shouldn't have gone on the 28th of December, but we'll put that one down to a rookie error) and visited Oxford (which was freezing but very, very pretty).  The sales here are fantastic and totally worth it, I'm probably going to have to pay excess baggage fees, but we'll worry about that at a later stage! I made lots of new friends in Guilford, Surrey and Chelmsford, Essex and saw a show in the West End - going around the UK has been really fantastic so far, there is a whole heap of history that you just don't really get in Australia.

Almost every town here has some claim to fame, a castle and some cobblestone streets! The public transport here is amazing too - trains that run on time and get you very quickly from place to place...and the tube, don't even get me started. I LOVE THE TUBE."
