As a traveler

Do you know where is here (in photos)?

Look like very beautiful place... 

Yes! Here is Manchester where I have been living for 8 months. 

Now is wonderful spring, all the trees are coming bloom, 

Manchester as if changed to another city which is my ideal one. 

Most of my friends know that I do not like Manchester. 

I am not denying this, When I came here, it was just turning into autumn, 

became colder and colder, almost raining everyday, not clean as I thought... 

all the things made me miss Japan more.

Then after I have traveled to other cities of UK and Italy, 

I felt more and more dislike Manchester, I can say lots of bad things about here, 

nothing impress me, really, nothing!

BUT! When I brought the air ticket to leave Manchester, 

When I knew I only have nearly two months remaining, 

I realized I should enjoy this city more than before, 

try to find happy thing is more important than anything else. 

I don't know whether to be sad or happy, 

but one thing I realized is a traveler is different with a liver. 

Traveler is good at find happy thing to see in new place, 

but liver tends to find bad thing to see in the same place.

All the photos of Manchester were taken by me as a traveler in pretty spring ! 

I guess I will like Manchester soon.

Wednesday

Every thing made me like Manchester more than before, even at home today. Mood can change life...

Nice day

Another busy day.
Went to embassy then took a rest in cafe, then went shopping and visited gallery, then had dim sum for lunch. Back home read novel and did some drawing, then made zajianmian for dinner and played badminton.
Now? Will watch film with husband.

John Rylands Library

This building is a library, belongs to University of Manchester.

So it called John Rylands University Library of Manchester.

This library was my first visit in Manchester, about 8 months ago. 

Today I was studying in this library whole day.

Fantastic feeling which made me calm and relax.

The front face of the library, pretty and grand outside, seems like a church.

Spring came

In a raining day, took a walk with husband to All Saints Garden. Saw beautiful trees, only they blossom in the whole garden. I couldn't recognize whether they were Sakura or not. I am sorry to say that I did not carefully examine shape of Sakura when I was in Japan. They look like fading Sakura, make me missing Japan more...

When I saw the trees I thought I was enjoying Hanami in Japan, but the England style building behind the trees tell me I am in England now, already here for 8 months.

Another little thing, bought fresh apple at TESCO,

Juicy and crispy very delicious!!! haha----

My latest tea time with dear friends

ITALY

Some friends asked me why didn't you update blog for long time? Are you sick again?...I am so sorry for this, because of my laziness to clean up the thousands of photos after back from trip. I am going to update blog everyday from tomorrow. Yes! even a little thing, like drawing or food or party.

Came back from Italy 20days ago. It was my first time went to other Europe country except UK. I thought Italy may similar with England, but actually quite different, history is longer, weather is better, FOOD is more delicious than... Traveled around Rome--Vaticano--Pisa--Firenze--Venezia with perfect weather, wonderful places and food. I think you can find some reason to visit Italy through these photos.
I am sure Italy is worth traveling.
