Mathematic Bridge in Queen College
Queen college stretches across both sides of the Cam, linked by the famous Mathematic Bridge. The myth goes that it was designed by Isaac Newton without the use of pins, screws, nuts or bolts, but when disassembled, the fellow students couldnt figure out how to put it back together again. This is sadly false, the bridge dates from 1749, 22 years after Newton's death.

Emmanuel front court and the Wren chapel
Slight introduction:
Emmanuel College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1584 by Sir Walter Mildmay on the site of a Dominican friary. Mildmay, a Puritan, originally intended Emmanuel to be a college of training for Protestant preachers to rival the successful Catholic theological schools that had trained Dominican friars for years.
Emmanuel always topped he Tompkins Table and Emmanuel is one of the wealthier colleges at Cambridge with an estimated financial endowment of £162m (2005).
The Wren chapel was designed by Sir Christopher Wren (20 October 1632 – 25 February 1723), who was a 17th century English designer, astronomer, geometer, and one of the greatest English architects in history. Wren designed 53 London churches, including St Paul's Cathedral, as well as many secular buildings of note. He was a founder of the Royal Society (president 1680–82), and his scientific work was highly regarded by Sir Isaac Newton and Blaise Pascal.

Bridge on CAM= Cambridge
Serious, no joking. ' This city.... a most famous mart and store-house of good literature and Godliness, standeth upon the river CAM, which...turning into the East, divideth it into two parts, and hath a bridge over it, whence arose this later name, Cambridge'

A wonderful mum and her little son, Winston in her arms. She laid down a high paid job since she was mothered. Despite of her PHD qualification and prospectous job, she keen on spending the precious toddlerhood with her two kids, became a full time house-wife. How many of us can do this?

'Time eater' clock unveiled in England: No hands, no numbers, just slits, and a gilded insect to eat the seconds
'Time eater' clock unveiled in England: No hands, no numbers, just slits, and a gilded insect to eat the seconds
They call it the time eater. With every snap of its fearsome jaws, sting of the tail and release of the claws, it devours another second.Today an extraordinary new type of clock was unveiledat Corpus Christi College, Cambridge by Professor Stephen Hawking. This gold-encrusted monster - part grasshopper and part locust - advancing around the golden disc to measure thepassage of time cost over £1million to make and seven years to build.
Unlike conventional clocks, the Corpus Clock does not use hands or digital numbers.
Instead it uses a series of 60 slits cut into the face, each six degrees apart, which light up to show the time.The seconds are counted down by each step of the mechanical insect whocrawls around the disc edged like a lizard's spine. Its movement triggers blue flashing lights which dart across the clock-face, running in concentric circles to mark passing seconds before pausing at the correct hour and minute...

Kings' College from the back
Realized that the Kings' College is termed plural because it required three Kings to have it completely built.

Apple trees.
William who is so skillful in tree climbing plucked us many apples from the trees and we ate it fresh and directly. It didnt taste sour as we think, in fact it had a sense of sweetness.
They are my relatives in Cambridge, a happy and loving family.
