Bristol

another city I've visited this week-end. Especially the universtiy building impressed me...






this is the University of Bristol....

and even more bath...

Bath II

some more pictures of Bath... (for a short comment look at the post below)

Bath Spa (World Heritage City)

Once upon a time a man had a plan. His dream was to build the Rome of Britain at a place called Bath. Back then Empires were powerfull and money available, so quite a few astonishing buildings were added to the city of Bath. Personally I think Bath is one of the nicest British cities I've ever seen. It has flair, it is tidy, it is crowded (but not too much), it has a Spa, nice churches, ancient roman baths and parks every now and then...
Take a look yourself:

Mt Snowdon, Wales

Last week the office for international relations organized a short trip to Mt Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, the second highest in England and the third highest in the UK. This sounds higher than the mountain accutally is, but I'll let you find out by yourself at which altitude the mountaineer reaches the top... (it was approximately a 5h walk to the top and back)... Unfortunately the weather was bad and I couldn't see much - but anyways, there are a few pictures here: (sometimes it is possible to see to Ireland and to overlook great parts of England as well...)

Wolverhampton

As this blog turns more and more into a photo-blog, I'll just add a few pictures of Wolverhampton, the small town I'm living in right now!

....Birmingham

I know, I promised to add comments to the pictures I uploaded a while ago. Unfortunately, I cannot find enough time to do so... Hence, I'll just add some more picture for you to look at - this should give you an impression of what it is like to stay in the UK...
And yes, I am studying as well (actually I've classes from Monday to wednesday, so my week-ends tend to be somehow longer than back home).

Have fun and enjoy some (tiny) impressions of Birmingham (GB second largest city with almost 1 Mio inhabitants). As I only went there once for about 3-4 hours, I didn't see that much of this bustling city... There will be more pictures soonish.
