Day 6

After lunch, we went on the coach which sent us to Canterbury. It is a little walled-city very close to the St. Martin's Church and St. Augustine's Abbey, which we visited yesterday.
Beautiful view near West Gate of Canterbury

The Canterbury Cathedral was under renovation and was covered up bu scaffolding, therefore we took photo at the front of the gate

A guide led us around the Cathedral and explained the history of various parts of the cathedral and some of the tombs of some kings and archbishops.

This stained glass window tells a very interesting miracle story. Ask one of our tour members if you want to know more!

The artist who made this stained glass window went to work for Mr. Walt Disney as an Imagineer, that's why you can see similar art style at the beginning of the animation Sleeping Beauty and some other Disney productions.

After the visit, we were given some time to do a little shopping, yippie~~

Today is our last full day of programme. After our morning session followed by our lunch, we walked our way near the Ramsgate beach. The spot we are visiting was the Ramsgate tunnels. It was originally a railway tunnel used in the 1920s and became a shelter for the people in Ramsgate during the First World War. Is was very cold in the tunnel as it is underground. It was also very dark inside even with modern lighting while we were visiting. We just couldn't imagine how people lived there for years during the WWI It's the 'living room for a family. They cooked, made tea and played cards here. This is the 'bedroom' of a family. The rooms were divided by very simple materials A group photo to conclude the day~

For the afternoon activity today, was a sport called Croquet. We had no idea what this sport is until we reached the Croquet Club. It is a sport played among a lot of senior people because it doesn't require a lot of running. We thought it would be boring but actually we got excited while playing this game because Croquet is all about strategies rather than strength! The club members explaining the rules and regulation Discussing strategies to beat the opposing pair Nice hit! Girls team won! We were served cakes, snacks and drinks after 3 rounds of Croquet

We had our regular classes in the morning. We had our regular classes in the morning. After the morning classes, we walked to a place to enjoy another cultural experience -- movie watching! This cinema is HUGE!! This is the movie ticket, just like a supermarket receipt! The movies didn't have English subtitles, which was a bit hard to follow what the characters were saying, but luckily we were watching an animation and is simple enough to understand!
