Here are two pictures of the Brookfield Science building. Brand new. The outdoor picture is taken by the entrance we use (when did Nick find a time when there was no one standing there? It's usually ridiculously busy there) and the indoor shot is from that entrance towards our main classroom, which is G10, if you must know.



These are two pictures of the Main Quad, which seems to make Mom think she's at Hogwarts. Some trivia: it is made out of locally mined limestone, I believe actually mined from the spot where the Boole Library now stands, immediately opposing the Quad. Also, the lore on campus is if you walk on the grass in the Quad you will fail your exams.


If you're standing where the last picture was taken, this is at 11 O'Clock. It's the student center.


This is the main part of campus. At 12 O'clock is the chapel, which has beautiful stained glass and floor mosaics. To its right is the O'Rahilly building. I'm not sure what they do there. I don't go in there.




These are just some pictures around the periphery of campus. Western Rd, and a couple pictures of the River Lee.





These are some pictures from around town. St. Finbarr's Cathedral (UCC's slogan is "Where Finbarr taught let Munster Learn." He's an important guy around here. The courthouse, and a couple of pictures of the main shopping/strolling/people-watching part of town. The part shown I believe is called St. Patrick St.

Here is a good group shot. From left to right: Mahta, Blair, Moi, Martin, Laura and Caroline. They're all Canadian. Beneath are a couple of pictures of Team Purple. Completely accidental of course. In real life the shirts are much more similar in color. The one in the pub is the place called Western Star that sponsors Medical Society (or MedSoc). I'm sick of going there. Too loud, crowded, and full of 18 year-olds.

These are all pictures of my trip to Youghal (pronounced Yall) with Mahta. It was an appropriately rainy day for a trip to the Irish countryside. Had my first Irish fish and chips here.


This is a thrilling picture of me at the main gate to UCC. A branch of the River Lee runs along one border of the campus.



The upper (you may also use "superior" or "proximal" if you're in the mood) is a picture of Julie and Tim, both from Vancouver. I don't know who the lad on the far right is. The guy in the distal, lower, and inferior picture is Wyatt. He's a dent student from Medicine Hat/Edmunton.


This was taken from inside a bus going to Kinsale. As you can see, I didn't make it on that trip. Instead Tony, Tim and I went for a cup of coffee (and a scone with cream and jam) in town.


This is right towards the beginning of my time in Cork. I'm standing downtown with Mahta, who hails from Toronto.
