11/21/2006 Welcome 你好，From 30th March 2005你是第（请勿留言于计数器下方，以免我调整其位置将您的留言删除。谢谢合作！Please do not leave your message under the counter，Thank you so much！） NANNAN的东游记（一）NANNAN在交完论文，搬完家之后，终于可以去欧洲玩了。此次行程16天，游览的国家并不多--德国、奥地利和瑞士。
Day 1 9月4日 Berlin
旅游景点：菩提树下大街（Unter den Linden）勃兰登堡大门（Brandenburger Tor）帝国国会大厦（Reichstagsgebaeude）亚历山大广场（Alexanderplatz）柏林大教堂(Berliner Dom) 电视塔（Fernsehturm）亚历山大广场（Alexanderplatz）柏林大教堂(Berliner Dom) AND SONY CENTER
早上起了个大早，搭乘EASYJET的飞机从GLASGOW INTERNATIONAL 飞往柏林。单程机票35胖。
这是俺第一次来到欧洲大陆，下来飞机第一个感觉就是语言不通真是麻烦。在机场转悠了半天，终于搭上了机场大巴前往市区。本以为搭上巴士就可以顺利到达市中心，可是--错，我们还要转地铁。买了DAY TICKET 5欧/DAY，可是研究了半天线路图竟一点头绪也没有，哪里有这样无序的线条阿。还好遇到了2个好心的小MM热心给我们讲解了半天，这才让俺和MINGMING同志对BERLIN的地铁有了了解。
出了地铁站，我的心一下子就凉了，我怎么来了这么一个“破地方”阿！比北京差远了，大街上乱的要死，许多地方还在施工，咋连半个景点都没看到呢，晕倒ING。
走吧，走吧......原来是这样滴，环境差的只是地铁站，而亚历山大广场、电视塔、圣玛丽亚教堂、马克思广场和柏林大教堂则分布在周边。在回旅馆的途中顺面又去了菩提树下大街、勃兰登堡大门和帝国国会大厦。
感觉最好的就是BERLIN DOM的穹顶和国会大厦的屋顶，后者新建的球形屋顶很有特色是看夕阳及鸟瞰整个柏林市的好地方！
而对于德国人的印象则是外表看着很严肃，其实非常热心爱帮助人，虽然很多人英文讲的磕磕巴巴的，但是为游客指路时愿意讲英文，哼！这点法国人就太那个了.......。
Day 2 9月5日 Berlin to Frankfurt
旅游景点：柏林墙（Berlin tall) 凯旋柱 凯撒·威廉纪念教堂（Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche）
今天逗留在柏林的时间是大半天，下午要乘3个多小时的火车赶往Frankfurt。 今的景点不多了，一早便赶往柏林墙。柏林墙名气太大了，可是看后让我失望。这么有名的一堵墙如果没有指示牌，任何一个人走在街上都不会注意，也就是因为这个原因我和MINGMING同志来到了柏林墙面前却不知身处何处。
凯旋柱没啥好说的了，很多城市都有这么一个地标性的建筑。在这说说凯撒·威廉纪念教堂好了，这个楼顶破碎的建筑在我看来非常显眼，威廉二世1891年到1895年下令建造这座教堂，以纪念他的祖父。但不幸得是教堂在二战中被毁，现在它和埃贡·埃尔曼1961年新建的教堂一起，战火的痕迹与新建筑的冲突，展现了一种不和谐的美。
11/19/2006 解放，快乐，人去楼空由于空间连接有问题，SPACE已经闲置太久了。现在问题终于得以解决，按时间顺序把该写的都补上吧。
8月28日 星期一
今儿个是交毕业论文的DEADLINE。当俺拿到装订好的论文时，心情却是异常的平静。这好歹也是俺“煞费苦心”鏖战2个月的作品啊！完成时小小兴奋了一下，俺也是洋洋洒洒用英文写了22000字的东西啊！拿到了装裱很漂亮的论文（让俺破费了24胖），我却一眼都不想看，唯一的想法就是赶紧交，哎......，真是悲哀啊！
8月29日 星期二
现在天天都是HAPPY的日子，论文交了离毕业也就不远了。
9月2日学校的房子就要到期了，这几天大家都在收拾东西，有些人已经找好了房子搬出去了。老是说着要在搬出去之前聚会，可是大家各忙各的，总也聚不齐。
今天是班上的聚会，想想可能也是最后的一次了。地点选在SECC附近的一家Karaoke Club吃印度菜，说实话俺在没吃过印度菜之前还一个劲地埋怨系里，好端端的一次聚会吃啥印度菜啊！之后俺对印度菜的看法有了一百八十度的转变。
Curry Karaoke不在市中心，而是在河边。餐馆不是很大，而且只接受提前预订。因为没车，有没有公车直达，交通稍有些不便。可是这里美味的食物、热闹的氛围、加之是看夕阳的好地方，系上的安排真是煞费苦心阿！感动ING......
9月2日 星期五
今天搬家。
算算俺在ANDREW URE HALL里住了也快一年了，这里旧是旧了些，但是地理位置好，又和同学住在一起，大家楼上楼下的，一年的日子在紧张的学习、不断聚餐和PARTY中，过的也算有滋有味。
看着楼下的垃圾越堆越满，听着拉箱子的声音，心里真不是滋味！
算了不想了，赶快把家搬好俺就可以和MINGMING同志畅游欧洲了！！！
现在终于体会到啥叫痛并快乐着了！！！
6/5/2006 Cornwall Crusader 4 Days Trip （5月22日-- 25日）
Day 3 在路上
出发前Gray就给我们打了预防针，因为今天就要离开Cornwall了，大部分的时间会在路上。而且今儿是突出Crusader的一天，也是学习的一天，因为很多景点都和KING ARTHUR有关。
在车上我们已经开始传阅第一个景点的Booklet -- Tintagel Castle。
Tintagel Castle stands on the wild and rugged north coast of Cornwall, suffering much erosion over the centuries. The site is split into two distinct segments: the landward section containing the remains of the upper and lower wards that stand rather precariously on the edge of a crumbling precipice; and the inner ward that lies on the narrow ridge linking the island to the mainland. It is not known for certain who built Tintagel Castle but evidence suggests it was Richard, Earl of Cornwall (brother to Henry III), as he acquired the site c1234, which seems to coincide with the date of the current remains.
Tintagel is most famous for its association with legendary British King, Arthur. The site is known to have been occupied by the Romans for tin mining, but it is as a Royal stronghold of the Cornish Kings during the 5th & 6th centuries that the legend takes hold.虽然城堡只剩下残垣断壁，但仍依稀可见过去的壮观！ 生和死是相对的，看过了King Arthur的出生地，下午我们又探访了他的墓地 -- Glastonbury Abbey。
The Abbey was enlarged in the 10th century by the Abbot of Glastonbury, St. Dunstan, who became the Archbishop of Canterbury in 960.The Norman betterment of the Abbey was extensive. In 1086, when the Domesday Book was commissioned to provide records and a census of life in England, Glastonbury Abbey was the richest monastery in the country.The great Norman structures were consumed by fire in 1184 when many of the ancient treasures were destroyed。 When the monastic buildings were destroyed in the fire of 1184, the medieval monks needed to find a new place to worship. The monks reconsecrated the Great Church and began services there on Christmas Day, 1213, most likely before it was entirely completed.In the 14th century, as the head of the second wealthiest Abbey in Britain (behind Westminster Abbey), the Abbot of Glastonbury lived in considerable splendour and wielded tremendous power。 In addition，Arthur's body was brought here to be buried. Today a notice board marks the spot of Arthur's final resting place. Occasionally people lay flowers there to honour this mighty King whose life and death gave birth to so many myths and legends. These mystical tales that still envelope Glastonbury Abbey in a cloak of mystery, add to its profoundly rich and timeless history。另外关于Glastonbury 这个地方还要补充的一点就是一定要去看看Glastonbury Tor。Glastonbury Tor is a teardrop-shaped hill with its only standing architectural feature the roofless St Michael's Tower of the former church. Tor is a local word of Celtic origin meaning 'conical hill'。Tor locates in the middle of a plain called the Summerland Meadows，这里是鸟瞰Glastonbury Town的好地方。由于俺们没走平常路，所以还没到Tor跟前鞋子便湿了，只是远远看了看，并没近前。
FINAL DAY 最后一天的行程还是很轻松的。在Bath的半天，看来是足够用了。
还有哦，游览Bath最好也是by foot。到处走走看看，说不定会有意外的发现呢！On the way back to london，We finished off the tour with a visit to historic Lacock and Avebury。Lacock is one of England's most picturesque villages and home to many a costume drama (Pride & Prejudice and Emma to name but a few)。Lacock abbey was used in Harry Potter。Avebury stone circle is the largest circle of stones in Europe with 5000 year old。
四天的幸福时光就在这样一个阳光明媚的下午结束了，回去要加油写毕业论文了！加油！！！
5/29/2006 Cornwall Crusader 4 Days Trip （5月22日-- 25日）
这次去Cornwall的旅行是俺第一次在英国参加旅行团，感觉Haggis的服务还不错，下次要参加他们3天的Skye行！
 Day 1 石头记
不这一天基本上是在路上。一早从London出发。出发时下着大雨，到了第一站Stonehenge，雨已经停了，太阳在云里躲着，时有时无。Stonehenge只不过是一堆石头，却是英国最有名气的石头。Stonehenge is a 5000 year old prehistoric monument，I imagined when I was waliking round this monument which was built by ancient people who mappedd the course of the sun and moon，它看来看去还是石头。哈哈！玩笑了！但是以后要来探访“这堆石头”要比现在困难，“Your future visits to Stonehenge will be very different from your experience today。Major plans are being prepared to place Stonehenge in a grassland setting，free it from roads and traffic noise and provide world class visitor facilities。This will improve your enjoyment and understanding of the whole World Heritage Site。English Heritage；the National Trust and the Highways Agency are working together to make these plans a reality within the next 10 years。” -- Stonehenge booklet 下午，在Dartmoor National Park
（Dartmoor National Park1951被英国政府批准成成为国家公园，是英国第一个国家公园。公园并不是封闭的，旷野里有数百英里的公共人行道和小路，近3万的当地居民生活在公园附近，并利用公园的土地放牧。）与大自然亲密接触后在将近7点时，终于到达了Newquay -- surfer's paradise。驻地就在海边，从窗外望出去便是湛蓝的大海及绵长的沙滩。虽然现在并不是冲浪的旺季，但是已经有不少的冲浪爱好者在海里驰骋了。
DAY 2 碧海蓝天 昨晚祈祷后，今天果然是好天气！哈哈！！！今天的行程让人特别期待，因为要去LANDS END -- 地角。蓝天白云下的大海，格外的宁静，海水的颜色也是由浅及深分为：浅蓝、绿、深蓝。The first stop was St. Michel Mount，这个景点并没有进入参观。 St Michael's Mount 坐落在一个锥形的潮汐岛上。“The chapel of St. Michael, a 15th-century building, has an embattled tower, in one angle of which is a small turret, which served for the guidance of ships. Chapel Rock, on the beach, marks the site of a shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary, where pilgrims paused to worship before ascending the Mount. A few houses are built on the hillside facing Marazion, and a spring supplies them with water. The harbour, widened in 1823 to allow vessels of 500 tons to enter, has a pier dating from the 15th century, and subsequently enlarged and restored.St. Michael's Mount is still owned by the St. Aubyn family, but visitor access is controlled by the National Trust.”-- Wikipedia 在接下来的行程中，Gary（我们的导游）会随时向我们介绍沿途风光并及时停车让我们拍照！ 就这样停停走走，走走停停。在下午的时候终于到了LANDS END。Lands End is one of the most popular outdoor attractives in Cornwall。It situated on the westerly most point of mainland Britain and it is surrounded by spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean。俺不曾去过中国海岸的尽头，却站在了英国大陆的尽头。面对那无垠的海，任海风划过脸颊，吹过耳边，我不介意，我只要这别样的美景，我想在这里常驻。
完美的一天应当有一个完美的结束，给我们划上完美句号的是The Minack Theatre。Minack Theatre is a world famous open-air theatre located on the coastline。当你站在看台上时，你会不由的赞叹，在悬崖边建歌剧院确实是一个了不起的IDEA。Minack in Cornish means a rocky place and the black headed crag below the theatre has always drawn local fishermen. “Theatre built in the style of an ancient Roman Amphitheatre, but with the added drama of the ocean as its backdrop, was constructed in the 1930s - as a hobby project - by the late Miss Rowena Cade who lived in the large house just behind the theatre. While the theatre began as a "garden project", it has developed over the years since its inception into a world-famous venue and a summer season of plays and musical entertainment is held every year from the end of May until late September. The programme includes a wide variety of productions - straight plays, comedies & musicals - ranging from Shakespeare to Gilbert & Sullivan as well as modern productions, each showing on weekdays (Mondays to Fridays), with a change of programme and production company weekly. ”-- http://www.minack.com/dayvisitors/history.htm Gary特别介绍这里，除了这里独特的建筑创意还有的就是令人念念不忘的-- Cream Tea！2个刚出炉的Scone + 一碟Cream；一碟草莓酱，还有一壶红茶。选一个靠窗的位置，看着蓝天和大海，“生活真是太美好了”
5/27/2006 I disagree with the others, I like Oxford very much ！
俺一直计划去Oxford，但是由于天气状况一拖再拖。
好不容易熬到了5月，所有的 Lectures and exams 都结束了。在继续论文之前，给自己放个假，第一站便是Oxford。在讲述这次的Wonderful Oxford Trip之前，要特意感谢Estella，她告诉了俺一些旅游指南上没有的好地方，好食物。
DAY 1
由于提前计划，车票非常便宜。Return tickets by National Express cost me 2 pounds！哈哈！！！到了Oxford，觉得还是坐Coach好，因为Coach Station 就在City center。
牛津游其实就是大学游。Oxford University 有38个学院，其中比较有名的有10所。下了车顺着路标向Visitor Center走去，第一个Stop was The Ashmolean Museum。It present collection of art and antiquities is based on an early 17th century collection made by the royal gardener，John Tradescant。
Visitor Center对面坐落有两所College，Balliol College and Trinity College。这两所学院都是要门票的，但是俺实在是没有零钱，好心的看门伯伯便让俺免费进去了！
 Trinity College was built in 1555 which is better than Balliol College，它的花园是牛津最美的三座花园之一。在仔细研究了Map之后发现大部分学院只有在下午开放，而且有很多要Group Visiting才可以。也顾不上这么多了，反正俺背着书包看起来和Oxford University的学生差不多，再加上门房“疏于管理”俺便闯空门了。在牛津的28小时里，俺用这个方法去了不少不对外开放的学院。但是并不推荐这种方法！让人发现了，可不是闹着玩的！
New college was the next stop，这也是俺比较喜欢的学院之一。
New college also has the beautiful gardens which was built in 1379 by wealthy Bishop William of Wykeham。从New college 出门向右再向左便来到了Magdalen College，另一个俺喜欢的学院，在这里俺可是老老实实Pay了2胖门票进去的。
Magdalen College was founded in 1458，the college's deer park；meadows and water water walks are brilliant。Magdalen Tower is the one of Oxford's finest landmarks which was completed in 1509。
Magdalen College所在的街道就是High Street了，沿High Street向下，俺又去了Queen's College （was founded in 1341）和 All Souls College。 All Souls College is a magnificent college which was founded in 1438 by Archbishop Chichele of Canterbury，as a memeorial to thouse who died in the Hundred Year's War。The great quad completed in 1733，is famous for its imposing twin towers designed by Hawksmoor，and Wren's simdial， moved here in 1658。
第一天的最后一个景点是 St.Mary Church。登塔的费用是2胖，上去风非常大。但是建议一定要上去看看，因为这里是鸟瞰Oxford City的好地方！
DAY 2 今天俺一早就起来了，第一站是Christ Church牛津最大的学院。The college was founded in 1529，学院的教堂就是Oxford Cathedral。Tom Tower with huge bell是另一个Oxford的地标建筑，每天晚上9：05这个古老的大钟都会敲打101响。因为当地人认为9：05才是格林威治时间的9点。 I would like to point that College hall is a impressive medievlal hall，used as the dining hall at Hogwarts in Harry Potter films。 最后一个参观的学院是 Merton College was founded in 1264 by Walter de Merton，England's Chancellor。Merton's magnificent chapel，started in 1290，has richly coloured stained glass depicting apostles and saints。
P.S. Alice's Shop在Christ Church的附近，不用专程前往，只要顺路去看看就好了。 Blackwell's bookshop 距Bridge of sighs不远，前者是世界上最大的、最有名的书店之一，后者曾多次出现在诗句中。最后，University Museum of Natural History给我的Oxford行画上了圆满的句号！希望这不是一篇流水账，也同时希望能给打算去Oxford玩的朋友提供一些参考。（更多图片以在相册中收藏）
5/13/2006 Time and Life
在开始今天的主题之前，先问候俺妈妈
 Happy Mother's Day！一年前的今天，第一次来Glasgow。虽只停留了2天的时间，但就是因为这2天，让我做出了人生中重要的选择 -- 在Scotland，在Glasgow，在 Strathclyde Business School 完成Master的学业。<http://spaces.msn.com/bjzn2004/Blog/cns!1pyp17V7tViFoosJPuu5DRAg!1075.entry>
今年的Glasgow比去年温暖，高温已持续了几天。当5月9日完成了所有的考试，我Master的学业也已完成了大半。在短暂的身心放松之后，随之而来却是莫名的伤感。
Time flies，虽总是有不尽如人意的地方，但当一直期待的事情，快要实现的时候却......
Any way，还是要加油啊！还有Dissertation要写，9月才是真正收获的季节！  4/29/2006 Nice day out to St.Andrews + Twice car sickness
一直嚷嚷着要去St.Andrews，看看Golf的发源地，看看William的学校。 和Penny的最后一次旅行，选择了St.Andrews。在去的路上，天气很给面子，阳光明媚。经过2个半钟头的颠簸，在到达St.Andrews 5分钟后便阴天了。
小镇并不大，有漂亮的海滩和特色的建筑。
St Andrews has played a significant role in the history of Scotland since at least the 6th century. It takes its name from the Apostle whose relics, legend tells us, were brought to this place in antiquity by St Rule. Scotland later adopted St Andrew as her patron saint and took his saltire cross for her flag. Before the Reformation, the town was the centre of religious life in medieval Scotland, with the bishops wielding great influence over both church and state. St Andrews is also famous as a place of learning. The university, founded in 1410-11, is the third oldest in Britain.
The Cathedral & St Rule's Tower
The cathedral 始建于12世纪，直到1320年才被得以重视。中世纪，St Andrews was a religious centre visited by many pilgrims.Visitors to the Cathedral today will enjoy the dramatic setting of the ruins - the Cathedral was destroyed by a mob roused by the preaching of John Knox in the town during the Reformation - and the sense of history which attaches to what was once one of the most important religious sites in Europe. Owing to the presence of the relics of St Andrew, it was a place of pilgrimage for many thousands during the medieval period. The Castle St Andrews Castle was the former Bishops' Palace, the residence of the Archbishops of St Andrews. The first castle on this site probably dates from around 1200 - evidence in itself that the office was as much political as religious in medieval times. For example, it was the Archbishop of St Andrews who, in 1306, placed the Scottish Crown upon the head of Robert the Bruce at his coronation at Scone in defiance of Edward I, an act for which the Archbishop was later imprisoned.
The University
The University of St Andrews was founded in 1411 and is the oldest in Scotland, and the third oldest in the UK. 最后要说的是，由于是座BUS去的，本人在往返的路上GOT TWICE CAR SICKNESS。所以建议有同样问题的朋友做火车再转BUS。
还有哦，Penny同学说 Oban比较漂亮，且下次俺也去！又是3个小时的路程，倒！拜托，火车，哈哈哈哈哈！！！
4/13/2006 电影往事
露天电影院
我家楼下的空地是一个电影院
在夏天的夜晚它不再出现 如今的孩子们已不懂得从前 那时候的人们陶醉过的世界 我长大时看着他们表演着爱情 当他们接吻的时候我感到伤心 在银幕的下面孩子们做着游戏 在电影的里面有人为她哭泣 城市里再没有露天的电影院 我再也看不到银幕的反面 你是不是还在做那时的游戏 看着电影的时候已看不见星星 总是那些点滴，在不经意间，在我们还没老的时候，就逼着我们怀旧。
《电影往事》讲述个一个家庭对露天电影的挚爱，以及这个家庭与电影紧紧纠葛在一起的悲欢离合。影片中的那些场景，也是我小的时候曾经历过的。
俺小时候住的部队大院，每周二都会放电影。那时候看露天电影得自己带小板凳，在电影开演前N个小时就要去抢占地盘，在空旷的室外看电影，耳边是蝉声，头上是星光。实在不喜欢了，就窝在妈妈怀里睡上一觉，或和小朋友一起去探寻银幕背面究竟是什么。所有的大人都会专心于剧情，随着剧情的发展，下面的人们时而大笑，时而惊叹，时而又唏嘘感叹。散场后回家的路上，大人们仍亦犹未尽，交流各自观感。
现在的电影拍的越来越精美，可真正能留驻于脑海的却越来越少。随着影院灯光亮起，一切都留在了那豪华的座椅上。
3/11/2006 一些卡通之大嘴猴子 -- Julius and Friends
以前介绍的Paddington Bear和Wallace & Gromit都是来自英国的卡通形象。最近迷上了一只来自美国的大嘴猴猴 -- Julius and Friends。 说来也惭愧，都这么大岁数了，还“沉迷”于“幼稚”的东西，哎...不费话了，言归正传。俺们的猴猴是Pual Frank旗下的服装品牌，目前还很年轻，只有10岁。最早看见Juius是在《流星花园》的剧集里，当时并不是特别的喜喜。来了英国，这里猴猴的产品虽然并不能说花样繁多，但衣服、包包、鞋帽也都可以买到。自从圣诞节买了一顶猴猴帽子之后，俺对它的喜爱便一发不可收了。比较遗憾的是，猴猴在英国的售价并不便宜，所以啊，只能耐心等待打折的时候了。 12/31/2005 2005年的最后一天
The People you love... The Places you are a part of... The Memories you hold onto... and those unforgettable moments when you close your eyes and breathe in the life with a smile.
I hope your heart is filled with lots of little reasons to celebrate in the 2006!
我的2005年，2字头逐渐远去。
我的2005年，飘在异乡的忙碌。
我的2005年，不在父母身边的独处。
我的2005年，挫败又不断努力。
我的2005年，有你们就有欢笑。
我的2005年，印下你灿烂的笑脸。
．．．．．．
2005年在渡过了一个白色的生日后所剩无几了，光阴也随着年龄的增长在不知不觉中消逝。12月31日晴朗却有风。午后外出时，淅沥的小雨带出了今年最后的彩虹。我借这道美丽的彩虹，期盼2006年诸事顺利。我借这缤纷的色彩，描绘2006年的绚烂。
12/16/2005 Scottish Experience Week ( Final Day)
Friday 16 December ( Sunny 3 degree)Visit to Sun Microsystems and The Scottish Parliament and Ghosts Tour
Sun Microsystems based on California USA in 1982. Sun Scotland opened in 1989, which has 650 employees and was only operations center outside USA. Sun Microsystems' new Java cyber cafe, with 48 Sun Ray machines and suppoting servers, acts as a learning enviroment for students, facilitating groupwork and IT-based research launched at the University of Strathclyde in April 2005. ^^
Scotland's new Parliament sits at the foot of Edinburgh's famous Royal Mile in front of the spectacular Holyrood Park and Salisbury Crags. Constructed from a mixture of steel, oak, and granite, the complex building has been hailed as one of the most innovative designs in Britain today.
The MSP Building provides accommodation for 108 backbench and opposition MSPs as well as their staff. The building is 6 storeys high at the north end, stepping down to 4 storeys at the south end. Each office is constructed around a single in-situ poured concrete frame with a pre-cast concrete vaulted ceiling weighing 18 tonnes. Each vault contains a characteristic Enric Miralles abstract design feature.
There are 6 committee rooms, 2 large and 4 small. They seat between 30 and 60 members of the public and media. Each room is fitted with TV cameras to film proceedings as well as an induction loop.
Each committee room features a complex vaulted ceiling and stem-shaped wood panels on the walls. These are part of the acoustic design as well as the aesthetic vision. To sum up, today was the most wonderful day during the week. I really enjoy the whole week!!! ^^
Hi, Guys Bey for now. Have a nice holiday!
 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 12/15/2005 Scottish Experience Week ( Cont.)
Visit to Glengoyne Distillery and Stirling Castle
Glengoyne Distillery is often described as Scotland's most beautiful distillery. The distillery, which takes its name from " Glen Guin " or Glen of the Wild Geese, has been producing an exceptional singel male scotch whisky for over 200 years.
Glengoyne is one of the leading premium malt whiskies in the world. Glengoyne 17 Year Old Single Highland Malt Whisky voted World's Best Single Highland Malt By 62 Independent Industry Experts in 2003.
第一次游览Stirling是今年10月的时候，那时发了Blog详细介绍Stirling的情况。这里就不啰嗦了^^ http://spaces.msn.com/members/bjzn2004/Blog/cns!1pyp17V7tViFoosJPuu5DRAg!2402.entry
12/12/2005 Scottish Experience week
The last week before Christmas is Scottish Experience Week !!!
Monday 12 December (Sunny 4 degree)Visit Rolls-Royce and Culzean Castle
Rolls-Royce operates in four global markets which are civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy. But we just know Rolls-Royce's car ^^. Rolls-Royce Aero Repair and Overhaul factory was opened in 1953 in East Kilbride to service the needs of the RAF during the Korean War. In 1993, it was established as Rolls-Royce's specialist centre of its kind for the civil and defence sectors. Today, 1,600 people directly employed there, about 3,000 more sub-contracting and other jobs depend on the factory's existence.
The property of Culzean castle was given to the National Trust for Scotland in 1945 by the Kennedy family. This attractive corner of Ayrshire contains over 290 acres of mixed woodland, colourful gardens, ponds and streams and exciting rocky coastline with sandy bays and superb panoramic views of Arran and Kintyre, which have earned Culzean the description-" the most magnificent country park in Britain". But unfortunately the castle is closed for Christmas, we didn't get into. -_-
Visit to New Lanark Heritage Centre and Guest company Speaker- James McColl, Clyde Blowers tUESDAY
New Lanark Village is a ideal community.Over 200 years ago the impressive sandstone cotton mills of New Lanark were built by an enterprising Scot, David Dale, in a dramatic gorge in Southern Scotlan, close to the famous Falls of Clyde. Soon the village became know all over the world under the enlightened management of Dale's son-in-law, the social pioneer Robet Owen. He transformed life in New Lanark with ideas and opportunities, which were at least a hundred years ahead of their time. Child labour and corporal punishment were abolished, and villagers were provided with decent homes, schools and evening classes, free health care and affordable food.
12/8/2005 The Beatles Forever
Let It Be When I find myself in times of trouble And when the broken hearted people And when the night is cloudy,
The Beatles is one of my favorite bands。今天是所有的Beatles Fans不能忘却的一天，因为1980的今天John Lennon永远的离开了我们。
Lennon是The Beatles的灵魂人物，尽管他与大野洋子的婚姻导致了The Beatles的解散。人们称他为摇滚战士——为爱与和平的梦想，为平等自由的世界，为心中完美的梦想而战的战士。其实他却更像一个孩子，一个有梦的孩子。这个孩子为了自己的梦从不绝望、不知疲倦。早在Lennon单飞以前，他就在Beatles中表现得与众不同。Beatles刚刚成名时，当所有的成员都沉浸在成名的欣喜和巡演的兴奋中，列侬是最先厌倦于此的人，他发现观众只是沉醉于演唱会的气氛，而不是真的倾听他们的音乐。他当然知道巡演会带来更多的金钱和名誉，但他是一个追梦的孩子，金钱和名誉不在他的梦里，他孩子般的理想主义者气质不允许他背叛自己的梦。1966年，Lennon取得乔治·哈里森的支持，停止了Beatles的全球巡演。这件事的结果就是Beatles将心血被贯注到《Revolver》、《Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band》、《The White Album》三张专辑中，奠定了Beatles的历史地位。
The Beatles的中后期，在Lennon的影响下，歌曲的题材不再限于简单的爱情，而是升级为对人群的关注，对生活的关注，对现实的关注；四位乐手也再不是一身阳光的大男孩，而成为了四位超前时代一步的忧郁长发智者。列侬的写歌词才能是独一无二的，他写的歌词流畅、精致，叙事中还夹带幽默；但其歌词的尖锐和深刻是最值得称道的。他第一个真正把摇滚乐变成一种武器，把歌曲作为匕首，咒骂荒谬的现实，反抗世界的规则——我们的生活真的像小学课本里写的那么简单幸福吗？这个世界真的应该是这个样子吗？我们习惯性的生活到底是为了什么？这些有着丰富思想内涵的歌词为Lennon 赢得“摇滚乐之父”的称号。 今天我特意将背景音乐换成了《Let It Be》我最喜爱的歌曲。身在英国以一年多了的我，一直想去Liverpool看看，却总是因为这样、那样的事情不得不将计划一拖再拖。但是我相信我会去，去到那个The Beatles 的故乡、去寻觅他们的足迹！
11/21/2005 这一夜 -- 凝聚中国人的力量！
First Chinese Party of MIM
树熊一家的快乐生活
这是不寻常的一夜，因为这是俺们班Chinese的第一次聚会。 这是不寻常的一夜，因为太忙好久没在外面吃中餐和唱K了。 这是不寻常的一夜，因为发生了很多搞笑的事情。 这是不寻常的一夜，这一夜让我们更加了解彼此。 这是不寻常的一夜，因为我们有了新的名字“树熊一家”。
11/20/2005 Christmas Lights Switch On
Christmas，西方人眼里的重要节日。对我们而言则是长假，不幸的是放假后要考试。去年的圣诞节过的并没什么特别的，街上琳琅满目的圣诞节礼物，而我则寻觅着打折的字样。Christmas Eva的时候还在打工，唯一能让我记住是12月25日清晨的一场大雪，纷飞的雪片大朵、大朵洒在地上，不一会就把所有的事物都变成了白色！
今年我般到了Glasgow，突然发现很多事情都发生了变化。各种活动、节日，因为有了朋友们的陪伴变得让人欣喜、期待！“树熊一家”的各位宝贝们，这个圣诞节虽然不能在Glasgow和你们一起过了，但是我想我还是会分享你们的快乐、感受你们的欣喜！对吧？^^

Today，I attended the Graduand Reception for last year's students of MIM，I said Congratulations to them and shared their happiness。
I make a wish -- I will get my master degree successfully，I will have the same day next year！！！
