I know its has been a while since my last post, but there is a good reason - I've been BUSY! When my professor for the summer said we had a full schedule, he wasn't kidding. So the last time I posted we had just visited Twickenham Rugby and had a nice reception to welcome all the students in, but now we are in full swing. To begin with, I have meet with the head of NFL International and talked strategy/planning and the legacy they are making in England with American Football, which is surprisingly popular here. I also meet with Populous. They are the masterminds, architects, engineers who are behind all of the major sporting stadiums that you see throughout the world. But that was just a warm-up for the grounds and history that my class experienced at Lord's Cricket. Lord's (as it is commonly referred to) is the home of cricket. Cricket is the national game of England and is immensely popular throughout the former common wealth countries and the middle east. Well thats enough for one post but I will post again very soon so that you all can hear about Paris and all of its beauty.
Happy readings...
Cheers!
