Visiting the University of Birmingham Campus/Carlos Pueblo
There is no
way for me to march to see the University of Birmingham
Campus from
the city center of Birmingham. Pei-ven who just finished
her master
degree in architecture from this University showed me how
to take the
train. It is only one station away toward the international
airport. I
was attracted by an unique sport called the netball, the
predecessor
of the modern day basketball. There are ring and net on
the pool
without bouncing board and can only pass the ball during the
match.
Obviously, there were matches on that morning for high school
girls from
nearby cities.
I walked
straight into the campus and taking pictures of what I saw.
The engineering
school, the physics school, and the chemistry school, etc.
I came to the
student center and rested. An attractive high tower erected
in front of
the campus and all buildings are located harmoniously among
gardens with
last stage of the summer roses. I hated to leave; however,
it was a
commute day and I was not quite sure if I could stay a bit longer.
Some
prospect high school students were there in the late morning to
visit the
campus arranged by the University.
On the
train, I met a family from China. The parents came to visit their son
at the Ph.D.
program in electrical engineering. I showed my admiration of
their effort
and wished him well and successful. I always admire students
studying
abroad to have their future opportunity expanded. It’s why I love
to visit
famous campus and getting closed to the academic than anything
else.
As usual, I
dropped by the markets near by the central train station for
my cooking
at the hostel. I had done several cooking ever since I checked
in in
Birmingham, the chicken soup with vegetables, pompanos, and more
chicken skeleton
bone soup with more vegetables lasted for three nights.
