Birmingham

Was in Birmingham over the weekend to see some old friends. Devan & Sharmalar and their cute 8 month old daughter, Sharanya are in Birmingham for a couple of years doing research. Sharanya is doing research into the wonderful world of babies, ie discovering herself. I daresay, so are her parents.

And a friend from high school, Yu Ting, I haven't seen for more than ten years. She kindly took me around the sights of Birmingham including the shopping areas of the Bullring (don't know why it's called that really apart from a bull in the square) and the distictive Selfridges building(a department store) with the silver dots.

Also walked around the done-up areas of Birmingham's old canals around Brindley Place.
