On Coventry & Warwick University

Coventry was the most bombed British city during WW2,Warwick University is not in Warwick, but far away from the city centre in Coventry. Lady Godiva was this a Queen who rode round the City of Coventry naked ages ago, to get the Earl to lower the taxes. These are the hard facts I collected from Coventry. I did not really see much, because the first line suggests there isn't much to see, and the second suggests that I was holed up cosily far away from the city in one of the University accomodation rooms. The third, explains the statue I took a picture of in Coventry City. Basically, this was not a visit to sight-see, it was a visit to meet a dear friend- Yun Ching.

Yun Ching cooked up meal after meal, from Bacon & Cereal Breakfast, Chicken Rice & Sweet Sour Pork, to Brocolli & Pasta. Apparently, he has obtained the reputation of being the best Singaporean chef in Warwick. To be fair, his cooking is indeed good, if not for the quality, then surely the quantity. I slept & studied most of the time, enjoyed a movie (The Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore), and simply did what we had been doing best these past few years, - chat & insult.

And that almost certainly ends this first leg of visits in the UK, taking me from London, to Cardiff, Oxford, Swansea, Cambridge, Brecon & Coventry.

Why do I travel?

To find familiarity admist refreshing surroundings. The best of both worlds.
