Linds, H and I went to The Manchester Museum today. It is part of the University? I'm not sure. It is not a fancy museum. In fact, it is kind of old. But it has two quite attractive section. One is the mummy section, Ancient Egyt, where they actually display the remaining human body. The other section is live animals section!! It has only reptiles, lizards, snakes and frogs. I didn't take photos at the mummy section because I feel like I shall at least respect the body. But I took some photos when I was at the live animals section. I just wanted to stay there and take photos. But I couldn't figure out the setting. Some of them are quite blur.
Then we move on to the 'Money' section and this is the first thing we saw.
Linds and I looked at each other, speechlessly. Then we started to sing 'Money, Money, Money, must be funny, it's a rich man world....' hahaha..
I spotted his t-shirt when I was walking behind H. I thought it said I am Brella. hahahaha.. So I took a picture, because Linds, H and I always made fun of the song Umbrella. 'Ella, ella...' It is actually Lambretta. It is a British clothing brand. hahaha..
Linds and I took a photo in front of the Museum. =)
Before everyone get bored with my iGoogle obsession, I shall post up more photos.
hmm.. how about more photos of Manchester?

It was a very sunny day. Linds's mom, Marg came and visited. So, we took her around Manchester. We walked along the canal. It is quite nice. I haven't been there since my visit to Manchester when I was in undergraduate. Pretty long ago right?
We went to the Museum of Science and Industry. Again, my last time there was my undergraduate. It is still the same though.
However, our main plan is to go to the Body Worlds. Only Marg and I though. I really wanted to go to the Body Worlds and Marg said she is quite interested in it too. So both of us went, while Linds and Pink Lady went to the museum. -.-
It was an amazing experience. I would love to go again next time. I wasn't allow to take any photo. Actually.. I didn't even bother to ask if I am allowed or not because I think I shouldn't. haha.. But, I will say, if you ever have chance, you should definitely go for it. It is neither creepy nor unethical. It is educational.
I am most attracted to the foetus section. It exhibited foetus at its fourth week til 9 months. It is so cool. When I look at the fourth week foetus, I was surprised that it is actually look like a 'foetus'. In other words, you know that it is going to be a 'baby'. It does not have organ, but it has the shape. It has head and body. In this case, I can see why some people are against abortion. Even at fourth week, it seems that it is a life. The foetus will has a life if there is no abortion. Therefore, if we see it from this point of view, abortion is just not the right thing? But, what if the baby will suffer if he comes to the world? Does it justify abortion or does it not? The baby obviously has no chance to choose what he wants and does not want. So, what is right for him? And, who should decide?
I think we went too far. Back to the photos. LOL
Pink lady and I headed home after that. I think we were planning to do works. But I ended up spending time taking photos on the way home because the weather was so GOOD and this is very rare in Manchester!. haha..
Manchester Central Library. I like the architecture. It is very special. It is a circular library. It is built around 1930-1934. It is beside the Town Hall. You can see a small part of the Town Hall on the left in the picture.
This is Midland Hotel. It is nearby the Central Library. I think it is a very expensive hotel.
More photos of the Library..
Manchester Town Hall. I should have taken a full view of the Town Hall. This is only the main clock tower. -.- I forgot. Next time.
