Geneaology in Wales

I spent the day today in Wales researching some family history at the Gwent Record Office. I have posted some pictures of the area here.

The first term is over! I submitted my mini-projects today and will presumably learn how I did sometime in January when I return for Hilary term.

Making Sushi with Japanese Society

Mark, and I learned how to make sushi last night with the Oxford Japanese Society. I've posted pictures here.

Election Night Party

I've posted pictures from the election night party at the Oxford Union. Earlier in the night we also had a great dinner with the Japanese Society at a restaurant called Edamame right next to Wadham College.

Matriculation

I finally posted the 2 photos that I managed to take at matriculation before the batteries in my camera died. It was a fun day, spent almost entirely inside Oxford pubs.
Hopefully others will send me the pictures they took from matriculation so that I can post them here. My friend Kevin took some and posted his here.

Michaelmas Term Begins

Michaelmas Term begins today, so don't expect much activity on this website until December.

British Student Visa Procured in Shanghai

I picked up my visa from the British
Consulate. I can enter and leave as I please until January 2006. My friend ZHU Jia happened to be there picking up passports for some chinese students to study in Britain for the school she works for. Next we need to apply for DeDe's visa, which will be more difficult since she wants to be allowed to work.

Doored on my bike!

I was doored pretty hard today while riding my bike to the Zhong Shan Park metro station. Some girl opened up her car door at the last minute, which caught my bike, and I went flying over the handlebars. My bike is still rideable but needs some repairs. I'm sore but mobile. Please look before you open a door on a road filled with cyclists.

a person or subject throughout the whole site from one index. Only the albums from 1998-2001 have been indexed at this time.

FreeBSD Handbook Nearly Ready for Printer

The FreeBSD Handbook will hopefully go off to the printer within 2 weeks.

British Consular Officers in Shanghai

The British Consular Officers in Shanghai are still being jerks. They accepted by application for a student visa but intimated I was a liar, made fun of my name, and otherwise made things difficult.

Older 1998-2000 Travel Photos Posted

I posted several older photo albums from 1998 - 2000 today.
