Travelling the Southeast of England

Last day is a sunny day, and we, 9 persons, went to visit the southeast of England and left from house in 7 o'clock. We visited the Stonehenge in Salisbury, one of the wonders in the world, and city of Bath, a world heritage which is famous for hot spring, then the last spot, sea shore in Bristol. It took us 17 hours and 400 kilometers a tour, and full of excitement, happiness, surprise, fatigue as well.

Chapter 1 visited the Stonehenge
The Stonehenge lies in Salisbury and 140km far away from here, which is our first spot. We chose a shortest route by GPS and arrived there in 9, 30 o'clock.
I saw the relics far away in the highway, and we jumped from the car even it could not stop totally. The stones sit in circles, which gave me a lonely sense. It was built in 2400-2200 BC (not exactly), and stood there for nearly 5,000years.

Chapter2, visited a church in a small village

We left Stonehenge and drove car in the lane to Bath through the villages, and had a break in a church. We heard the songs from the church, so we went into it to have a look. We saw elder people and children sang the holly songs prayerfully that moved us. They were kind and polite to invite us to join. After the ceremony, we talked with those old ladies and gentlemen, and they were very glad to see us and invited us to drink. We talked about the history of that church and the custom, China etc, and had a good memory on them.

Chapter3, visited the City of Bath

Because we chose a shortest route, we drove car up and down the road, which is much bumpiness. However, we saw dozens of village and town, whose beautiful scene rushed into my eyes one after another. We arrived the city at noon, and it cost us allot of time to park for the reason few car park places. It was sunny and hot, fresh air and direct shine and we spent a total afternoon in Bath. We checked the route from map, and then we visited the scene one by one. The most magnificent buildings in Bath were the Circus and the Royal Crescent by the architects John Wood the elder and his son John Wood the younger. Many charming girls and handsome boys took a sun-bath on the lawn in front of the Crescent. Then we visited the Rome Baths, a famous hot spring museum, which built in Rome’s era.

Chapters 4 go to seashore!!!

We reached the seashore of Bristol about 7, 10 pm, and I could not help shouting loudly when I saw the sea far away in the road! It is really very very very splendid, magnificent!! I can't find a word to express my mind! The sea was clam in the evening; the sun went to sink and dyed golden water in the sea. Three white wind turbines stand over the sea and the white sail boats became golden as well. The people sat in the pub near the seashore, playing cards, drinking beers. It is really what I want to do!

Show our garden

There is a big garden behind our house, with many flowers in it. The weather becomes warmer and warmer, and the flowers blow one after another. When I looked around the garden, I found the orchis, pear trees and other unnamed flowers blooming. They make our garden beautiful and full of fresh air. When I am tired or feel high pressure, I walk in the garden and smell their fragrance to release. It is really a valuable experience.

BBQ in May9

On Saturday afternoon, The AVD students celebrated their final GDP presentation and we, members of aircraft disign group of AVIC, were invited to a barbeque party in a park by Mr Stocking.

It was a shinning day, and we drove car to the party. The park is not a big one, with a small lake. I saw many people make picnic there.

The slight wind smoothed my face, wide gooseand ducks played on the grassland, all made me feel very comfortable.

Mr Stocking is a very kind, eld, gentleman and he was busy on bbq alone while we were playing the football, soccer. ^_^

The BBQ tasted delicious and I really enjoyed myself that day!

WenChuan Earthquake nightmare Memory for 1 leap year

汶川地震周年祭

如果按北京时间算，现在已经是5月12日凌晨4点39分了。国殇之日离我们整整1年，不忍心，也不敢回忆那天发生的情况。只能为地震中逝去的生命送去祝福，愿你们在天堂没有痛苦。人在大自然面前仍然是那么苍白无力。

灾区幸存的同胞们，当亲人远去，财产化为虚无，你们是以怎样坚强的毅力支撑着自己，我只能对你们说，好好活着，活下去就有意义。

Attending the AVD students GDP final Presentation

Today is a nice day to me, it is the AVD students GDP final Presentation. All the students of AVIC aircraft design group were inveted to the meeting.

From their presentation, I found and learned some information in my major. Fortunately, I saught a friend called Sanjay who charged for the same task in GDP, and we talked a lot about the design. I will keep in touch with him in the following working days.

One night in Beijing

Some thought about the song' One night in Beijing', leave it now, and I will renew my ideas when I am free.

Bank holiday

I wrote the diary yesterday, and I post it today.

Today is bank holiday, which is my first bank holiday in England. At first, I thought it was a holiday only for banks, that they need not work on these days. When I looked through the wikipedia, then I found ,A bank holiday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. So, most of the business centre don't opened,too.

At 9 am, our car drove into the cmapus, with our suprising, we found that the door faced to Mitch Hall did not opened. Thus, we drove along the road, swept Student Card to go through the barrier. For the holiday, the campus seems very clear, and there were a few cars parked. What is interesting things!

After we went into the launge hall, our Chinese classmates reached one by one. We were all surpised and laughed each other. How a wonderful day it is! We worked altogether instead of enjoying holiday.

I think that more and more detailed English life would come to my eyes.
