One of the juniors asked me where do I get the picture from for this blog. Well, it is a picture that I took long time ago when I was in Durham. It was autumn. Durham has a picturesque landscape. Every nook and corner is breathtaking. I am glad that I decided to do my PhD there even though I vividly remember some of my friends mocked my decision of going there because Durham is less unknown as Cambridge or Oxford. Yeah right. That is a common assumption by some Malaysians about Durham.
I like the picture because it shows a canoeist in the River Wear (Note: Durham has its own rowing club). Yup. The name of the river is River Wear.
