November catchup, 2008

Please excuse my blog-neglect. Here are some pics from recent outings in Nov and Oct (in reverse chronological order). This past weekend I went to Oxford to hangout with smart people and learn a few things. It was great engaging bright young minds in conversations of various topics including apologetics, economics, and medicine. Cool part was some of these chats took place in the pub where CS Lewis and JR Tolkien hung out.

Pic 4: Bikes bikes and more bikes in Oxford. It reminds me of China!


Pic 5: Here's one for the PH crew. Why's there no handle on this water pump?? (I had to visit this location to pay homage to my public health ancestors.)
