UK Trip (6) -- Liverpool



Albert Port


One of the most exciting thing is i went to The Beatles Story Exhibition! You know why i fancy UK so much is because the great musicians there. I love brit-pop and those big old band like beatles and oasis. And Liverpool is where the beatles became famous. the exhibition is just in the albert port. (the ticket is so expensive...sob sob )

I didn't know that Inside the exhibition photography is not allowed..so i took a few then was told by others that cannot take photos any more...sigh...but it really felt like i back to the old days of UK .


Mathew Street. Beatles used to play in a bar on this street.

UK Trip (5) --Warwick Castle


10 May, first time i really knew what "castle" means...! CASTLE!
really feel like in a movie or fairy tale, but then it's just so normal to those westerners..ok.
luxury means nothing to those royal people...
The castle is telling us how the life was used to be in the old days. hundreds of servants and solders lived in the castles to serve and protect the duke family or whatever royal people.

Dun really took many good photos in warwick..but when you climbed up to the top , the view was damn nice. Cameras just cannot capture what was in our eyes.
就是皇族的生活,奢华,壮观,但是我却一点没有羡慕的感觉。
难以想象这样一个城堡只是住着一个家庭。家。

At lease for me, i can never feel this place like home.

10 May, we went to Oxford again. But this time we came to meet a another group of people together with travel agency. we were going to travel around UK officially...haha. although i like backpacking more than going with travel agent but true that it can save a lot of trouble...especially we dun have a car...anyway. took a lot more pics in Oxford again.


How can i believe this is a library!!? But it is...errr....confirm i cannot study inside...
In Oxford Museum....which is weird also... it's more for kids i think....lol
They like to enchase famous people or alumni or whoever onto the wall of the buildings...can see such kind of head sculptures everywhere...

UK Trip (2) -- Oxford

We stayed in his home, and his house is in Abindon, a small town near Oxford.
The 1st day after we arrived, a good friend of my father drove us to Oxford, also because his wife is a staff in Oxford university. There i first time saw the red telephone box. Very UK and very unique.
The river across the campus.
can see this kind of buildings everywhere. i felt like i was in movie , haha


the name of the photo is brothers...so touched that their friendship can last for so many years...they are classmates in university...now they are all about 50 years' old!
