The exam is tomorrow, now you know how I feel…

Finally when Im on holiday in UK, outside China, I can get access to my blogger. How time flies! We’ve been here for nearly 3 weeks. And tonight is the last night we have at Al’s parents’ house.We are gonna leave to London tomorrow morning and fly back to China in the evening…

We’ve been enjoying the family’s company. Al’s parents have been very kind and generous to me. His sis is a very clever and talented girl, and also a good baker.

We have gone to Walker Art Gallery, Lady Lever Art Gallery, Tate Modern Liverpool, Machester University Art Gallery, William Art Gallery, had the Beatles’ magic tour and the first experience in Old Trafford watching the first team training of United!

Al and I quite enjoyed the wandering in Chester which remains some Roman historic spots. I liked the Tudor’s hourses there as well. In the last part of the holiday, we went to Scotland to visit Al’s grandparents and uncle Steve, and then travelled to Huntingdon to visit uncle David.

The holiday has been fun and wonderful. It’s about to be over soon. We will arrive in Beijing on Saturday night and take the night train to Dalian on Sunday. Then I will head to the office on Monday morning after the train arrives at 7am. So yeah, the time has been tight since the very beginning to the end! ( I was refused to get the visa at first, and got it for the second try one day before we left to UK)

The two photos were taken by Al of me sketching in Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight Village.
