.........Stratford upon Avon - Shakespeare's Grave........
.... Stratford upon Avon - Shakespeare's Birth House.....
These were my first excursion in UK and my 4th day in Cambridge. I still had an incomplete information about the public transportation schedule and the street in Cambridge that day. I had to walk for 1 and half hours from my host family house to school, because I had no idea that there is no bus working on Sunday before 9.10 am and I had to be in school at 8.30 am. They almost left me behind. Thanks to Jane and Patricia, it didn't happen.
At first, We were going to visit Oxford, but the school, who organised this trip, changed it. I heard several vague excuses, it is either snow stormed in Oxford or the Oxford tour guide was in an accident and got a broken leg. I had no idea about those two places, when we headed from school, but it turned out great. I was playing snow ball fight there (my first experienced!) Thanks God The All Mighty. Lol
........Manchester - Old Trafford .........
On the following week I visited my relative in Manchester. I felt grateful because My roommate Jessica from China and my class mate Anne-sophie from France want to tag along with me... the more the merrier right?
.......London - Buckingham Palace.......
That was the second time I visited London in my whole life. I guess it was pretty much the same as 6 years ago. Fikri, Joaquin and I were there to explore university in London. However, in the end none of us chose to study in London, beside its pricey living cost, it was just too crowded.
..............Norwich Castle...............
It was an unplanned visit to Norwich. I got left behind for real this time, sadly because less than a minute late. They left me and Fikri in University of East Anglia (UEA -- near Norwich) after UEA International Open Day. I was showing Fikri Islamic society room a.k.a Masjid. He was in the toilet when the rest of Muslim students went there. Therefor we needed to take the train back to Cambridge from Norwich Station. However, I feel glad because if they hadn't left us, I might have never visited Norwich. LOL
........London - Russel Square on February 2010..........
There is a story behind this photograph. This was the third time I went to London. I was wandering London all alone, until I get lost, and found this park. I decided to sit there for a while. Whilst i was there, I saw a father and daughter scene that made me cry a tear or two. LOL yea.. so this girl went in to the pond while her father had told her not too. but she ignored her father and run toward the fountain and went in anyway. Then his father strongly told her that what she did is bad, it was cold that day (and she made her feet wet) she could've got sick. that's when she went away again from her father, and cried on that bench.
Her father just stared at her for a while, until couple minutes later, he approached her and hold her in his arms.
It was a Father and a daughter moment that made me cried. hiks
......Edinburgh View from Calton Hill on March 2010.......
...........Edinburgh - Hollyrood Abbey............
Three days trip to Edinburgh with my school mates. What an amazing escapade!!! Staying in youth hostel with other young traveller from all over the world. It doesn't matter even though I need to share bedroom and washroom with 14 other people. More over, they also have sharing kitchen, with modern kitchen set. On the first night there, the wind blew so hard it broke my digicam.
