Got a chance to represent the Oxford Chinese Society in 'Friendly match' against Bath Chinese Society on Nov 27, 2005... Dr. Min Yang from the Chemistry Research Laboratory, University of Oxford came to pick me up at about 9am... then the team of 11 persons, fitted in 3 cars, headed towards Bath...
The Street 'Watcher'... though looking in car :)

Reaching the Destination
Bath is a very unique and beautiful town... there are all identical buildings on the high street... too bad that the windows of the car were dirty that i couldnt take clearer pics that day...
As usual, traffic jam every where here in UK...
Looks like an old town, but surprise surprise, the University of Bath is so modern, spaces compound... they have this Sports Village, really a sports village mann...
The Cafe insde the Sports Hall
Looking at this corridor, u should be able to guess how big this hall can be...
there are indoor courts for badminton, tennis, basketball and gym as well...
A 400m tracks at the outdoor...
plus 2 open air Hockey courts opposite the tracks...
the Sports Hall is on the left while the Tracks on the right
The Oxford Team (left) in Action... look at the Badminton Hall... HUGE!

My Lunch Box which cost £3.50 EXPENSIVE la oi !!
I dont know how exactly to appreciate architecture, but to me, this is nice for a new building lor...
ok... that's all bout the Uni.... the winner goes to the OXFORD team by 3:2... infact, the Bath Team wasnt happy with that as they were winning for the past two years... and surprisingly, their team actually sounded at us with rude words... Really funny... What does 'friendly match' actually means? Hahaa... to me, it was a 'play/joke' of the day to see the bath-ie being anger after the match!! CHEERS to our team!!!
The Sunset while on the way home
