Prom is a very british thing. Unlike the proms in the USA, "proms" in the UK refer to "the annual summer season of classical concerts famous for a patriotic finale attended by thousands".
Thanks to my friend Jonathan Rawle, it cost me only 65 pence for the prom ticket. He bought newspaper (Times I guess) and it had a voucher for the prom tickets.

在美國，prom指的是高中畢業舞會。在英國，prom是每年暑假一連串的音樂會。同樣都是英文，怎麼這單字意思差那麼多啊!?
託我朋友Jonathan的福，那天我買了一份報紙就可以去聽prom了! 那份報紙才65pence喔! 哈哈哈! 好便宜喔!Hits Today: 0

My friend and I went to Worcester for Elgar's birthplace museum. The cottage in which Elgar was born is quite lovely. You can learn watch a short programme about this great composer and also listen to his work at this small museum. However, both my friend and I didn't think that the transportation was ideal.
我和我朋友一起參觀偉大的英國作曲家艾爾加的出生地。他出生的小屋還滿可愛的! 除了可以觀賞關於艾爾加的短片之外，還可聆賞愛爾加的音樂喔! 美中不足的地方是交通比較不便、、、Hits Today: 0

格勞斯特教堂外觀相當壯觀漂亮! 聽說裡面的迴廊是哈利波特拍片場地喔! 好像真的有那麼一景是在那裡面拍的耶!Hits Today: 0

According to the BBC news, "The Diamond project is funded by the UK government and the Wellcome Trust. It is the biggest science facility to be built in Britain for 30 years. (Image: DLS Ltd)" Diamond是這三十年來英國所建造出最大的科學實驗室. 能參觀Diamond真是深感榮幸啊! 不過我倒不覺得它有多大間就是了...Hits Today: 0

The most popular photo on my gallery was "The O2 - Millennium Dome". I wonder why people were interested in this building, ha ha. 千禧年巨蛋曾是我這本網路相簿中最多人觀看的的照片. 有人可以告訴我這建築物為何這麼受歡迎嗎? :) Andy was born on the same day as me. He also has a twin brother, just like my twin and me. That's why I call him as my British twin brother. 安迪和我同年同月同日生, 巧的是他也有個雙胞胎兄弟(搞不清楚誰先被生出來). 而我剛好也有雙胞胎妹妹, 所以囉~~ 我就臉皮很厚地叫他是我的"英國雙胞胎弟弟". 因為他比我晚幾個小時出生.Hits Today: 0

Everyone said that I should eat "rocks" when I went to Blackpool. However, I remembered it wrong. The strange thing is that I only saw kiosks where you can buy muffins, coffee, ice cream, but no "rocks". 黑池土產是"rock", 不過我去那邊時根本沒看到賣"rock"的攤位. 聽說一個才賣1塊英鎊. 沒吃到可惜啊...Hits Today: 0

I'm blessed to have met those nice people in Blackburn. I'll never forget their friendship and kindness. :)
可惜, 這麼好的一個園地卻因為經費的關係, 英國國家廣播公司再度要裁員, 全英國的BBC Radio (免費的網咖)都沒了. 可能會於'08年全部撤銷吧... 而這些人當中, 就屬安迪先生最可愛的了. 在英國, 像他這樣又高又帥的男性還不多... 且英國男人很多都很矮, 還以為自己有170cm以上.XDHits Today: 0
