Stratford-upon-avon (Shakespeare's Birthplace)


As we touched down at London Gatwick on Friday night, 28 March 2008, from Venice Marco Polo Airport, we catch our train to Birmingham and I felt sick..I just lay down in Zatil's room for the whole 2 days (Saturday and Sunday) Finally, I realized that I'd been never go around this city if I just stay in the room. On Monday, 31 March 2008, we decided to go to Shakespeare's Birthplace at Stratford-upon-avon (its about 1 hour journey from Birmingham train station)

The small peaceful town in Stratford and Shakespeare's house just along this building

We walked around enjoying the beautiful town and met this huge teddy bear! I want to bring it back..

The house where Shakespeare grew up. Its a small cottage with beautiful landscape.


Don't want to miss the chance posing in front of well-known poet's house..I remembered when I studied English literature, Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare..till now, I don't really understand it..

We couldn't get in as we arrived a little big late..it was almost 5pm that day..


Harvard House - home of the founder Harvard University

My mom will be pround of me if I was the founder of Harvard University..(day dreaming again..)
