it seems like that
you're an expert for this part of England?
And yes you are right
I'm studying in Sunderland and the people are very kind, friendly and open-minded
Oh I have already been to a few locations here and they were really good.
Are there any cities near
Sunderland which are worth visiting???

Well, I wouldn't say I am an expert but I am living in Gateshead, which is only about 15 miles north of Sunderland. And I used to live near Sunderland myself a couple of years ago. Houghton-le-Spring if that rings a bell?
I think Newcastle is certainly worth a visit, great nightlife, the people are lovely and the city as such is beautiful. You certainly can't go back to Germany without having seen the Millenium Bridge, the Angel of the North or St. James' Park

. You can get the bus to Newcastle - it's the X3 going from Parklane every 15 minutes. I am not sure how much the tickets are but if you want to go for a Buzzfare day ticket, it'd be £5.50 because you need 2 zones (red and purple). The bus is going all the way to Eldon Square in the heart of Newcastle.
If you like museums I can recommend the Discovery Museum at Blandford Square or the Hancock Museum (Great North Museum) at Barras Bride (opposite the civic centre). If you like art, try the Laing Art Gallery in New Bridge Street behind the new library. If you like jazz, go to the Jazz Bar in Pink Lane (yes, that's really the name of the street). If you like rock and metal, head for Trillians near Northumberland Street or Legends down Grey Street. If you like party all night go the Gates in Newcastle, or Bigg Market.
Oh and before I forget, try the Metrocentre - one of Europe's biggest shopping malls in Gateshead. To get there you can either get the X88 from Sunderland or the 100 Metrocentre Shuttle from the Greens in Newcastle .. or the X66 from Gateshead. If you like shopping you should give it a go.
How long will you be staying in Sunderland for?
There is so much to see and do in the Northeast. Like I said, feel free to let me know what you like and what you'd like to see and I am happy to be your virtual tour guide, promoting the Northeast.. which in my humble opinion is the best place in England.
Kind regards,
Keswick
