Week 11

This is week 11 and really... not much to talk about.

I got a taste of Solid Works and I want more. I've always wanted to use Solid Works but I never had the chance. The closest I had to Solid Works was AutoCAD. Now I have free access to Solid Works at the uni labs! My senior gave a brief intro about how it works and I really like it. I'll need to use it for my projects anyway so I'll have lots of time to play with it,

For cars... I only got a pic of this Mazda Miata NA. There's also a Chevy Corvette C6 but I couldn't snap it.

Let's talk about some culture. The people here are very generous with their thanks. They thank the bus driver, they thank the cashier, they thank you for holding the door open, they thank you for giving way on the pedestrian walkway. Very different from M'sia.

Moving away from that, there are lots of churches in Sunderland. So many. One day I'll snap pics of all of them but for now I only have this. This particular building is St. Peter's.

Before coming here I expected a lot of blondes. Maybe it's because of the university but actually the number of blondes I see here is only less than 50% of the crowd. Lots of brunettes, plenty of black haired people and then there's the random red heads here and there. Quite a few people have dyed hair. When I say dyed, I mean colourful dyes like purple, blue, green, pink or rainbow.

Another thing I noticed here is the culture of wearing headsets in public. I don't usually see this back home but here it's very common. Some aren't even wearing the compact types. Now that I think of it, they kinda work as ear warmers.

Lastly, here's random pic of the library.
