Black Kitty in Tangshan

During my holiday in Tangshan, I met a new friend- a poor little cat. I dunno which family it came from but obviously it was thin and hungry. And I found that it liked to eat corn, so continuous feeding it corn made it stay in the garden of my grandparents. Every time I opened the door and came out of the house, it looked at me and started to talk to me with “meow meow”.

National Holiday in Tangshan

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Al marking his students’ paper in grandparents’

We spent 6 days holiday in my mum’s parents’ in Tangshan. The last I went to visit them was when I was 12. Their home hasn’t any changes. They still live a simple and plain country life. For Al, it was his first time to see the Chinese country-side. Read his feelings here.  During the stay, we visited many relatives-my grandpa’s brothers and my grandma’s side. Apart from that, I had been enjoying sunshine in the garden.

Al spent most of his time either on watching TV shows on laptop or marking the students’ paper

UK Trip- Scotland

Friday, October 9th, 2009
Finally I decided to post my UK trip series with photos. I would like to start with our stay in Scotland where of course it was cloudy or rainy. I asked Al’s father: “How many days per week does it rain here?” He answered,” Six and a half.”

Finally we found the rain much lighter and nearly stopped. So before the lunch time in grandparents’, Al’s father gave us a ride around the town of St. Andrews which is a famous university town in Scotland.  Although we only had a brief sightseeing in the car, I liked this little lovely town and felt I would like to come back again. Wendy said she was considering to apply for the university cause she was told their president was a handsome noble man.

Grandma was knitting a trendy hat. Finding that I’m interested in vintage stuffs and antiques, she was pleased to show me the old things they had in the house. Some of them are over 100 years old. And she gave me an old wedgewood plate as a present when I left.
