20070127 Old Trafford - Home of Manchester United

Old Trafford, the Theatre of Dreams, the home of the Manchester United Red Devils, was spectacular. We went to the Megastore at Old Trafford and I bought a Ronaldo home jersey.

The place was jampacked and tickets were sold out.

ManUtd won against Pompey, 2-1. Wayne Rooney was subbed in with 30 minutes remaining in the match and scored twice for the Red Devils. The second goal was a beautiful chip shot that made manager, Sir Alex Ferguson compare Rooney to the great Eric Cantona, after the match. The atmosphere was electric.

To watch Machester United at Old Trafford is a dream come true.

20070114 Hampton Court Palace

As part of our weekend trips, my friends and I went to Hampton Court Palace. The weather was sunny but it was still a cold day for us. Hampton Court was King Henry VIII's favorite palace. The palace itself was huge, too bad we weren't allowed to take photos inside. Yet there were still a lot of sights worth photographing, the gardens especially.
