I was born in Leamington Spa in Warwickshire which is near to where Shakespeare was born. Do you know where that is ? If not, have a look on a map or put it into Google to find out. When I was 14 my family moved to Lincoln, which as you know is only 50 miles from here across the Humber Bridge. Have you seen the Humber Bridge yet ? It`s very majestic and spans a wide estuary running out to sea. Jump on a bus and visit the bridge. You`ll be amazed!
Do you have a bridge like it where you live ?
Lincoln itself is famous for its 11th century cathedral which dominates the city as well as the castle which contains an original copy of the Magna Carta. http://blogs.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/mewxgci3 There are about 100,000 people living there and it also has a university along with art galleries, museums, a nice shopping centre, cinemas and a very small Victorian theatre. When you have time you should visit Lincoln. In December the castle hosts a Christmas market and poeple come from all over Europe to visit it and buy gifts for Christmas.
Now I`d like you to tell me a little about your home town and what you enjoy doing there......

Humber Bridge, nice, I really should go there have a look.
ReplyDeletemaybe you could check these out: Nanpu Bridge, Yangpu Bridge and Lupu Bridge, which are in Shanghai. And along the Yangtze River, there are many bridges like this, I don't really know how many.
I'm from Wuxi, which is a medium city near Shanghai, less than 1 hr by train. And, Nanjing, which I have spent 3 yrs in for University is also a big city I love.
Generally, I love Nanjing rather than my hometown Wuxi, maybe because Nanjing is the capital 350 yrs ago, or maybe because I got a free-living university life there.
there were so many great weekends I spent with my friends in the club, cinema, bookstore or strolling in the city.
See if I could post some pic of China on my blog, so you can see it.
have a good weekend.
These are really super photos of Nanjing. Did you take them yourself ?
ReplyDeleteNO, but the last one is mine.
