The Roman Baths, London Vicinity

The Roman Baths' entry ticket is by far the most interesting looking entry ticket of my Trip. It's a plastic coin like token which we'd drop into the bowl where the person in charge collects all the tickets from us to grant us entry into the bath. Too bad, I don't get to keep it for sake keeping even though it's really cute but I'd think that it's a good idea as it's certainly more environment friendly than all other entry tickets as this is reusable unlike the rest.

This is a photo of the side of the bath building.

As usual, I like to take such photos with flying birds as they are like everywhere.. but hard to capture somehow..

This is one of the arch like gate in the bath area.

This is probably one of the few people that bask on the streets in London Area.

Entry to The Roman Baths


This is the only bath where we can actually get this near to it..


Thanks to our friendly guide, we got a picture @ the Bath


It's kind of sad that it just keeps raining on and off in the area. Luckily, we did get an umbrella.

This is the area of the bath where we can only peep through the windows.

The bronze statue head, the face part is pretty much intact but the rest of it is gone.

They use a combination of artifacts and projected to show us the history of the bath

This is a nice looking corner here it looks like a mini waterfall.

This is the only place I see this structure somehow...


Some of the tiles on the floor are still intact which is nice..

This is like a wishing pond @ the bath area, full of ancient coins, hence glittering in the light because of their reflective surface.

This is the water of the spring to the bath which contains high trace of Iron for us to try. I'd suggest that you only take a small slip if you are interested. As it tasted like I am kind of drinking blood due to the high iron content.

Interesting food which I didn't try as I was so full by the time I got there.

Backup!

Haha.. I spent most of the day creating recovery disk (1 set -- initial setting), install everything I want then create backup disk. Lol.. Yes I really need the backup... 'cos before I create the backup.. I actually configure until the DVD drive cannot use.. Such that ermm heng hor, Windows have restore point and I was constantly installing stuff.. haha.. So I'm not too sure what config went nuts 'cos I just restore and start again loh.. It's just day 2 nia.. I spoiled the software again lol.. Think maybe I should just not try to be too funny about my config ba.. Then I try to play the game, it seems like my pointer settings will affect the game play if I use pointer. A bit ma fan.. So maybe I should just use mouse for it ba. And something wrong about the map also.. I can see the floor.. yes.. But the pic of the mini and big map for one of the quest cannot be displayed. Now trying to find direct X to install. Hopefully it helps ba. At least most of the stuff is done le....

Free Antivirus Software

Just shared with one of my friends a few days ago that her computer is infected by some virus. And came to realised only yesterday that she's not the only one with unprotected computer. Then I'm wondering if it's just IT people that knows where to get free yet good antivirus software and install? Just to share with those that didn't know, AVG is really a very good yet free antivirus software. If you don't have one, it's best that you just download and install it so that your computer will be almost always virus free. At least most of the normal virus won't be able to disturb you :)

Monopoly Deal - A Fun Game to Play @ Chalets!

I felt that Monopoly Deal is really a fun and challenging game to play, especially at the Chalet. There are many rules to the game, but luckily we had a  monopoly deal rules expert with us to double-click with in event of discrepancy! I feel that it requires strategy and some form of luck to win the game. So far, I always get good property cards sets but it always get taken away 'cos I don't have the "Just say NO" card and it tend to get taken away, especially if I've a complete set. Then, I tried the strategy of not putting up a complete set, then it also doesn't really work 'cos in the end, I don't end up putting my sets on the table. Perhaps, I'll need to play a lot more times and try different methods till I get the idea right I guess. If you do have the chance, try playing that game. It's really exciting, 'cos you'll never know how long will your properties stay with you! As well as, how much money you can have in your hands. T...
