DurHam

Dan : Sleep now, by 6 or 7 am i will wake u up.. then we will be going to Durham..

wahahhahahahhahaahahahaha.......... its so funny when i recall this conversation, because we ended up waking up at 10.30am.. and we woke up because TOMMY Woke us up .. hahahaha..

today, we are leaving for Durham. its a place down sourth, 30 minutes by train... and there we are - Durham.
8 of us went there. 4 gurls & 4 boys = 3 couples + 2 singles (me & adrian).

we visited a church - Castle Chare. took some photos there, then we went to a green colour burger king for branch...
we were joking around, trying to order using hokkien.. hahaha.. can you imagine if the guai lou can understand what we are talking.. then .. dai gah liao .. haha...

the most time we spent on was visiting the Castle of Durham. after time, it was then convert into a university in the early 19 century. it was once the place where the prince bishop lives in...
the building is just .... perfect. the majestic look of the castle gives you a great feeling of civilization. all these were handmade. the carving, the paintings. the fine hand work on the stairs was just incredible. they built the stairs without a single nail, everything was based on understanding of the structure and the knowledge of physic.

we visited inside the castle with a tour guide guiding us throuh it. she actually told us that there's a ghost lady staying in the castle. her name is Lady of Grey (if i m not mistaken la...). she was either killed by her husband or commit suicide by jumping from the top of the castle(highest level) to the ground (inside of the castle). i think she fallen down through the Black Stairs, thats why the stairs is haunted.
then there is the Great Hall. Just like what we saw in Harry Potter's movies, the hall is just wonderfull. potraits of important people were hung on the walls, from the founder of the university to the prince bishop who ruled the castle.

everything inside is just nice... from what they said, University of Durham is one of the top 5 universities in UK. the student hostel here is just so beautiful. they use the olden days room as acommodation of students. from the room, you can actually have the view of the whole city of Durham.
can you imagine how proud you would be if you are one of the students of this university?
studying in one of the top 5 universities in UK, staying in such a beautiful place, being such a smart person (you gotta be smart to enter this uni right... ), having classes in such a magnificient place, a place where thousand years ago, important events occured at the very same place... what else can you ask for man... gotta be super duper grateful man...

maybe .. maybe .. the only bad thing about it is .. ghost.. maybe 'someone' would be sharing something, some place with you... hehehehe....

we had dinner back in newcastle. we had korean bbq. the very first time, i felt that kim chee isnt that bad at all.. hahaha..
the food there were delicious and the BBQ meat were ... NICELY DONE.. hehe
we had raw beef (sang gao yok). its beef cut into cubes .. then add a raw egg on it.. then mix it well.. then TAH TAH>>> Beef is served... it taste nice..= )

they actually served us fruits and TONG SUI(what do call that in eng ah... erm...).
Damn doink de la... the oranges they served had some red stain on the flesh. they assumed that someone cut his finger and continue cutting the orange with a bleeding finger or they used a knife which is used to chop beef to cut the oranges. then they actually ask the waiter was someone hurt while cutting the oranges...
the waiter told us that this is not BLOOD, this is called SUET CHANG... not HUET CHANG .. hahaa... damn embarasing man...
a bunch of people acting smart.. ahhahaa....

before leaving the restaurant, we got a chance to take a photo with a waitress there who is a KOREAN.
her outfit was just sooo nice ... hehehe.. and she is very pretty too...

PS:// Going to post the photos next time .. okay?? hehehe... patient oh .. = )
