Knee Brace Kuala Lumpur

highest railway between

Yes ... it is already Monday, I know ...
the weekend was pretty exhausting - Moving to the host family, shopping, city tour and on Sunday a six-hour trip to Lacock Abbey. And all with a nice cold ...
Lacock Abbey is 40 minutes by bus from Bath and was once a nunnery, until Henry VIII has secularized the English monasteries (he needed money and the monasteries had much gold and land). Lacock he sold to a nobleman who It has turned into a residence. A descendant of the family has invented photography with negatives (the first existing negative picture shows a window of the house). It are all very proud .... Moreover, even that much of Lacock in the first and second Harry Potter movie were filmed. To the specialties, it has made little labels everywhere:
"This room represented a classroom in Harry Potter and the Philosophers' Stone," "The toilet-scene was shot here" ...
Good ... Today I
had my first lecture - in Neurochemistry & Medical Neuroscience. The usual time unit in the University of Bath is about three quarters of an hour - Lectures may take one or two units. Today was a - was so very short. The lecturer had just time, the coarse structure of the brain and the workings of PET (positron emission tomography) and MRI to explain (magnetic resonance imaging), then it was over. Somewhat ineffective way of teaching, but at least no one has time to sleep;)
morning, I then got a lecture on two units and that's it for Tuesday. The rest of the week is similar. Here one may only occupy 24-30 "credits per semester - most events include 6 credits. Ie 5 events (usually a lecture, sometimes to a seminar). Quite a contrast to Dresden, where I 9-16 Clock was often in college. But here everything worked with household tasks ("Write 2,000 words by next week to XYZ"). Whether this will ultimately be more or less work, I can not decide ...
For photos from the campus (which was only built in the 60s and therefore not as aesthetically valuable), I am still waiting for better weather. Today it has rained all day, with rain in the morning, afternoon on the fine English style, which could ignore almost ... but it still comes home totally soaked.

Greetings
