Smiling is infectious; you catch it like a the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too. I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin. When he smiled I realised I'd passed it on to him. I thought about that smile then I realised its worth, A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth. So if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected Let's start and epidemic quick, and get the world infected. Everyone needs a smile :DD

BlackPool, England
WRAP UP WARM!!!
Before you could even feel the wind, you would see many people on the street with messy hair blown by strong wind. Umbrella is not at all useful on rainy day coz it just end up inside out. Your hair might tangle up by the end of the day, so girls, bring your combs if thats helpful ;p
Your hair could be like this.
Blackpool is a town situated along the seaside of North West England. Its one and a half hour away from Manchester on the train. Blackpool is still heavily dependent on tourism since more than a hundred year ago. However, the population growth has levelled off for some reason. I've been to Blackpool 5 times myself so i think its probably a bit sick to go again. I went the first time with my friends, twice with my family and twice for uni project[site visit].
Summer is definitely the best time to enjoy the sun, clear sky, seashore and beauty of the town. Make sure you pick the right day though, otherwise you'd be drenched in the rain. You won't want to go during the end of the season. The local people leave for travelling and many shops are shut til Easter from 5th November. The town would be literally dead for nearly half a year, hence the name. This is interesting coz it happens only in Blackpool as I was told.
Everytime I go, I come across new things, which it good despite how many times I've been.
Been for 5times and took over 300pics.
There are a few interesting landmarks in blackpool which I thought it was worth visiting:
Blackpool Tower
Coral Island - One of the Amusement Park
North, Central and South Pier
Main Street
There are more places of interest [without pics]
like: Pleasure Beach, The Winter Garden, Sandcastle Water Park, Beach&Seashore, Blackpool Zoo. Btw, many people love the special atmosphere in the town, as well as the spectacular illuminations which were simply breathtaking.
Visit BlackPool by chance and let me know if its BlackPool/BlackPOO ;p

Flash Back of Old Times
26-09-2008 family portrait of the year. [favourite above all pics]
Looking at the calendar, am thinking how time passes in just a blink of eyes.
Its been a year and 2months now in the uk.
And I'm doing good, thank you ;p
Thank God that I'm very well-taken care of by the lovely people and friends around me. Everything has been coming along alright so far. Manchester is just nice for me despite of the gloomy weather throughout the year. I've been picking up students various kinds of accent in the city. And its the variety that makes my interests for English boost further.
UK-United Kingdom!!! Just seemed how impossible I am to be here right now. Remember the song 'London Bridge Is Falling Down", which I came across at the age of 3, when I didn't even know what was actually sang out of my lips. Well, my point is, London used to appear to be a long way off from me, a beautiful spot in the world which I couldn't reach. I didn't think I would actually be in UK someday, yet indeed God's grace has brought me through my dreams. Being far away from home, its no doubt that I'm missing home lotsss, and still I truly do...

3. 五元钱被犯罪团伙绑架了,打电话给百元钞:“喂!

9. 有个人一天碰到上帝,上帝突然大发善心打算给那人一个愿望......
上帝问,你有什么愿望吗?那个人想了想,听说猫都有9条命,那请您赐给我9条命吧。
上帝说:好,你的愿望实现咯。
