Thames河游弋 9/22-9/23 Thames River boat cruise 9/22-9/23

Hey all! Here are my 2nd set of The Thames River boat cruise!!! I took lots of great photos near sunset and @ night! For instance, the 1st one is the clock tower of London. Yes, it was blurry because it was difficult for me to take these photos @ night. Then we have tall buildings possibly business companies or something else...


Above 3: Clock Tower of London on the Thames River Cruise! Beautiful indeed! MUCH BETTER THAN THE BUILDINGS OF LA FOR SURE!!
Above looks like a ferris wheel here in London.
Just another building, I forgot what it was.


Above: London City Hospital! Looks quite large and innovative! According to me, it's BETTER THAN UCLA'S MEDICAL CENTER!!
Look! It's Congress Capitol! Haha, no, that's St. Paul's Cathedral! Yep! St. Paul's Cathdral
My boat cruise on the Thames River was perhaps the best cruise I had thus far!! The scenery was beautiful. Everyone was very friendly, outgoing, and approachable. So I felt this is 1 of the best days here in London and this year!! I shall treasure it forever!

伦敦英国游览2!! Travel around London 2!!! 9/22

London Bridge Hospital as it describes it.

Hey, it's the London Bridge!! Very historical!
My London trip was certainly a blast!!! I enjoyed every moment there. Here are the photos that I took on Tues. on the boat cruise of the Thames River! Looking beautiful both @ night and near sunset.
One of the big battle ships.
That's my new friend John from China as well.
London Bridge and I. No seagulls in this photo but I tried to imitate it lol.
Above: Looks like a tower in London. What else can I say..

Above 2: By Tower Hill. Does it look like a castle?


Above: Look @ the shape of that building, unique isn't?
Castle of England. I felt very frivolous while on the boat cruise and in school. Not only I managed to accomplish my tasks, but I also met numerous friends from different countries!! London is definitely the ideal place for international students such as me to study in!! This is certainly an excellent start for me! I hope next week I can concentrate more on studying and travelling on the weekends. We'll see. More photos yet to come!

QM大学照片 9/21 QMUL photo 9/21

So here are more of my London photos!! Most of them are from my school: Queen Mary University of London. Above is my new friend Shelly from Greece and I @ the Queen's Building, the administrative building of the school.

Then above are corridor of my residence hall: Pooley House looks quite tight but at least I'm in a single room.
This one is from my room; I took a shot through my window. You can see the railroad and the opposite apartment building.

Above: Me @ Queens Building.

Above 2: From Dance Party(9/18), the day before my departure.
Above: right before my departure time; 2hrs before.
Above is in my "tiny" ensuite single room. I sleep quite well regardless of the size.
Above is Queen's Building.


Overall, I really love QMUL!! Better than UCLA! Speaking of which, I didn't meet anyone from UCLA here in QMUL yet. But I already befriended with so many international students!!!!! This experience thus far was the best!! I don't think I even want to return to the U.S again...

伦敦英国游览1!! Travel around London 1!!! 9/20-9/21

As planned, I successfully arrived here @ Heathrow Airport of London, UK on 20 Sep 2009. It's such a pleasant, unforgettable journey thru far here. Here I have many photos that I took while on the airport collection bus to my abroad university: Queen Mary!! I've never been here before, so this is definitely a wonderful experience for me!
Above: This is the clock monument of our university!! In London, many of the buildings were historical and possibly the best of Europe!
Above: Looks like a church clock tower.
Near by King's cross and the underground.
Does this look familiar?? Reminds me of Moscow's Kremlin clock tower!!
Another building.
Above: Residences buildings of London. Yes, the drivers are on the "wrong side" of the road(left & drivers sits on the front right side).
Above: A double decked bus.
Above: I'm officially in London, Europe now!!!
Here's the very 1st photo ever of London, Europe!! My 1st impression of this wonderful city was that it's similar to my hometown(Shenyang in China) because it's a big city with traffic, and populated streets. It almost feels as if I'm back home again except now it's Europeanized! At any case, London is definitely 1 of the best cities that I've visited. Not too mention that I met so many international friends as of today! We went on a boat cruise and toured around the Thames River! It was awesome. More photos yet to come soon!!
