Bath and stonehenge

This was an awesome trip organised by the international society in UH. Before this we actually decided to go manchester during the weekends but then again we did not because i was too lazy to find out transportation and accomodation in manchester so we followed the uni program instead. It was nice though stonehenge, a magical mystery and an unknown one till today but what i know about it is about king arthur and his knights of the round table. Watch that cartoon before when i was young that is why i know about stonehenge. Din noe it had many other meanings like it tells which month it is and it is a symbol of some god! not sure. Alot of myths about stonehenge of how the stone got into places some say stonehenge are stones from ireland some say it is there because of the giants, many stories in which different individual believes.


After visiting the historical stonehenge we went on to BATH which i call it hidden city because on the way there, i saw meedows where there are small huts and sheeps around the field.


All of the sudden after passing the hill tops, BATH city appear out of no where, it is as though it is hidden away from others and is built right in the middle of hills surrounding it. Fascinating scene if u once been there.


Again the city BATH has its own history on how it got its name. The roman BATH because it is found by the romans and it is the only city in the UK that has hot spring. To us asians, it is not a big deal because we have the hot weather and especially malaysia, we have hot weather throughout the year so hot spring to use, aint that "exicting" but for the english it is different. The hot springs here are up to 48 degrees which i dun think i would ever wan to try bathing in. It is said that the hot spring water can cure sickness and most of the people there drink for good health. Me and my friends tasted the so call having 43 mineral in the water and it taste like water from the drain that has been there for years. It did not taste well at all. I am never to try another sip of that water. One word "disgusting". Overall the city of Bath was alrite. It remind me of the cartoon anastasia where she is one of the romanoves heir and some evil guy wanted to steal from. Nice story and nice songs. Alot more history in Bath and i am too lazy to write it all out. HAHA. In actual fact, i am not so sure about the history. HAHA..
