The Flea Market & Baltic Museum

Finally, it's sunday, the last day of the week! The seniors brought us to the flea market at the quayside. There are alot of make-shift stores but not much of a crowd at the market. The stuffs sold are mostly daily essentials and clothes, not much of souveirs. We walked around the flea market. There's nothing really special about the market, just like another 'pasa malam' in S'pore. The only difference is that the market is in the day.

Later in the afternoon, we went to Baltic Museum which is just at the opposite side of River Tyne. The catch about this museum is that it's FREE (what a relief!). We have been spending alot of money on food and travelling, gotta cut down on my spendings. Anyway, I'm not really a person into art, so I can't appreciate the drawings and scupltures in the museum. Saw a scuplture of a rat and a cockroach, dun really know what they are trying to depict. Just wanna take some pics of the art pieces but got stopped by the security guard who insists that no photography is allowed (what a pity! anyway photography is also a form of art mah). We went to the top of the building where we are able to enjoy the scenic view of the city of Newcastle and also the famous Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
