StayAt Hotel






I wil stay in this StayAt Hotel for the coming two months. It takes us 10 mins drive to Nokia Hotel. There is a large shopping mall called Sello nearby. I think I will try to cook at night because a large and well equipped kitchen area is available, the disadvantage is that the kitchen is facing my bed........
Other than the big kitchen, the hotel is that good - small toilet, scout tidies up the room every week only, no breakfast provided by Nokia, quite noisy outside because of the construction (I think i will change a room soon). It is not good compared with the Shanghai hotel that I visited in last month but the living condition here is better than Wadham College obviously.


Arrived to Finland

Ravi, Tarun, WeiWei and I will stay in Finland in July and Aug for Nokia Strategic Consulting Project. It is a very cool project in terms of the location, workload and subsidies. Let's see our arrival picture first.


There are 188,000 lakes in Finland


To Helsinko Airport by Finnair



Arrived at Helsinko Airport at 11:30pm. Finland is 2 hours ahead of UK, so, HK is now only 5 hours ahead of my place.

Green College Stargazers' Ball

This is probably the last ball in Oxford - Stargazers' Ball organised by Green College. It is also the last ball orgainsed by Green College because it will merge with Templeton College in the coming year to form Green Templeton College, sounds like very environmental friendly.
Compared with Trinity Ball, Stargazers' Ball sucks because there is not enough food. However, it is fun mainly because of the Rock-O-Plane (we spin 360 degree) and funny friends there.





Nottingham

Three hours train from Oxford to Nottingham to visit my high school friend, Susanne Law. Though I could only afford to spend five hours there, it's worth going because of the reunion of St. Marians.

See our pictures in front of "Welcome to St. Mary's"

BBQ at Wolfson College

Wolfson College looks like a resort which is a place for students with family. Thanks Kim and his wife for preparing such a nice BBQ party for us, with lots of food and chat.

Trinity Ball 2









Trinity Ball 1

Trinity College has held a Commemoration Ball since as early as 1902 and now it is held once every three years. It is really a marvellouse ball, like carnival with tasty food such as oyster, suschi, moo moo milkshake, chocolate fountain, etc. Though it is bloody expensive (GBP 125), still worth going!
