"iphone and dinosaur" or "what does time mean to us?"


It's Monday the 31/3/08. What does time mean to us? I'm 50 years old. The students are between 15 and 18. The admired iphone in the new Apple store in Cambridge is available since July 2007.

Eleven students went with me today to Kings Chapel. The area with its buildings, the green fields and the river Cam has a sweet and calm charm. The sun spoilt us with its warm light. In the inside of the Chapel we were impressed by the architecture and the beauty of the coloured windows. I forced the group to listen to my summery of English History of the last 500 years.

After having left Kings College and after a short bicylcle trip we dived into the history of earth which means millions and millions of years. The Segdwickmuseum is the oldest geological museum in the world. It owns over 1.5 million items, e.g. examples of stones from meteors, fossils of crocodiles and spiders. The biggest spider lived 300 millions years ago and had the size of a big cat.
After an hour we left the oldfashion but heimish museum and popped into the busy streets of Cambridge. Maybe for another quick look at the iphone or maybe for a nice tea at the Arthouse.

Hi there in Cambridge

Two years ago i was there, too. I'm so jealous :D because i miss the time we had in Cambridge. I hope your stay is also that wonderful than ours.

I see our Blogg-lover Martin Beck didn't change anything instead of realeasing his pictures (i hope one day we'll get ours, Martin):D i think/hope you also have to keep a diary.

Enjoy your last days! I promise, you will miss it.

Some greetings to Mr. Beck, Mr. Ambühl, Seas, Desi and everyone who knowes me.

best wishes

It was the most boring day for me. The morning was like always but in the afternoon we went to a Chapel and after that in a dinosaur museum. I couldn't enjoy the afternoon, however. I did the best for me.
