University of Western Ontario (UWO, Western)

Here are some photos of my new university, The University of Western Ontario, located at London (Yep, there is another London in Canada), province of Ontario, Canada. I will be here for 5 months to come.. =) Basically in winter, the town snows every day. The campus itself is traditional British style and totally different from that of MMU.. (Sorry about technical difficulties to load the pictures, I reloaded them, so they should be fine now.)

The school front gateStudent dormitory
Thames river! (Scaled down version than UK's)
The school symbolic building.
The campus view. You can see snow is all over the place.
The Thompson Engineering Building, my new "FOE" building..^_^ The main difference is, the smartcard-based door security system actually works here! MMU one of course, are all in "maintenance mode"..=D
The engineering building lobby. They put big LCD screens to display their achievement, renowned alumnus,etc. Perhaps it is good idea MMU should copy this idea as well.
Finally, my new office/laboratory. No Windows PC here, all Unix machines. My Canadian supervisor, Dr Sobot is totally anti-MS. Sorry about that Bill, no fancy signature on the wall here. ;-)
More photos to come in future, watch this space.
