Musicals in London

Here is Birmingham and it is the second largest city in the UK. And due to its location, it is very easy to travel other cities in  the UK.

After the second term exam, I decided to go to London. ( One of the reason was special offer from train company.) It takes only one and half hours from Birmingham to London. And I am really happy that the main stations are near my accomodation. So it is possible to travel London in one day.
However, I stayed few days for musicals.

I watched Les Miresables, and it was impressive than the movie.

In June, Lion King is coming to Birmingham, and I am waiting for that!

End of second term

I don' t know why but the term schedule between undergraduates and postgraduates is different.
So, when undergraduates are planning for Easter break, postgraduates are preparing second term exam.
For my case, second term was disaster compare to first term.
It is more difficult classses and I think there are more reading lists than before.
Even MSc students are struggling with assignments and exams, there are still social events. The thing I remember was, Futsal social tournament in Gem sports hall. ( In Aston, there are two gyms; Gem sports hall, and Woodcock sports centre, and usually social events are held at Gem sports hall.)
The events like it give us chance to meet students from other MSc course.


Ah, there is one useful information for MSc students, MSc student support office prepare 50 Financial Times every day. you can enjoy Financial Times, if you are diligent. :D

One world week in Aston

Last week, (4th-8th FEB) there was event week called "One world week"
Student Union has various events on each day, and I participated in fourth day, World Food day.

You can enjoy various culture here, and meet other international students. I only participated on World food day. it is held at Student Union building. Lots of culture societies, such as, China, India, France, prepare their traditional food and we can enjoy that foods with reasonable price. I am in Korean society, but this year, we can't prepare food ourselves, so we just prepare desserts, sweets. The interesting thing was, many foreigners came to our table, and ask 'Kimchi'. I didn't know Kimchi is popular like that. I hope, next year our society prepare more food even I may not be there.
