Some pics in the UK

OK, sorry if all these links seem a bit messy, but I kind of uploaded my photos to many different places.. But there are just some of the photos I have managed to take in my very short time here in the UK.


To Old Trafford

First stop is of course to Old Trafford stadium in Manchester city.. To anyone whos know even the slighest bit about football (why on earth do Americans call it soccer anyway?), you would have to know who Manchester United are. Do note that having David Beckham as one of its former players isnt its only claim to fame..... in fact, having had him was not that big a deal anyway.. the reputation, pedigree and history of ManUtd far exceeds the fame of one particular good looking football married to Posh spice. ManU fans loved him ever since he was 16, and still wide-eyed.. Anyway, enough of my rambling, just enjoy the pictures!

Second one was a chruch trip to Thor's cave @ Peak District. Peak district is a district with a lot of peaks.... :-p

No, really its one of the most beautiful districts in Britain; beautiful farm lands, green meadows, hills and livestock. And it just so happened that we visited the place on a beautiful saturday morning. Our destination was Thor's cave, a really big, wet and dark cave. But in the end, it was the beautiful scenary getting there that was the most thrilling, compared to a slippery cave. As they say, its the journey that matters. Many tourist backpack and camp in this beautiful countryside line wide ancient walls going back hundreds of years. I unfortunately destroyed a small part of that wall while trying to jump across. Our tour guide, a lad from Scotland, was mortified.. and I felt incredibly guilty. But he did tell me lighheartly that I could one day tell my grandchildren of how I accidentally ruin a piece of English heritage. Walking through the hills made me fall in love... and I promised myself that one day.... I will return.. I would bring my loved ones with me, so they too could see what I experienced.


Random Shots of Sheffield & Manchester city

These are just random photos of Sheffield and Manchester city. You may not find it particularly interesting. But as someone looking at it with fresh eyes, everything is different, even down to the taxies. I will say that England is truly a beautiful and charming place... It makes me sad thinking I will be leaving this place soon..

Trip to Blackpool Uk!

Blackpook is a seaside city, full of attractions. The place feels more like one big giant carnival rather than a town. They are famous for its Blackpool tower which looks alot like the Eiffel tower, candy canes, countless casinos and theme parks.. and ah.. yes. .who can forget... its bars and strip joints.. I'm not really sure why they seemed so caught up with hedonisitc pleasures.. The bars were all full, everywhere you looked there were people dressed up in their costumes, often in revealing costumes... policewomen.. nurses... tarzan... ala porn movies... In the candy stores, they sold edible bra and panties and candy canes shaped like dicks, vibrators, cufflinks, leather suits....... Sorry it isnt in the photos though! :-p
