Many people wonder about what to find in Hull.Well, I can tell you that you can find a fantastic eye hospital. Cecilia had a terigium removed and although it was painful, she received the best attention I have ever seen in a hospital in the UK. She was given a bed to rest, looked after (I was looked after too) by nice nurses who continuously came to see how the post-surgery period was going. The day after the surgery we asked about how to reduce the pain, we were given an appointment to go and see a doctor who provided a prescription and better pain killers. The last weeks we have seen another doctor to check on the progress of the eye. All in time, appropriate for the situation.
Not only the Eye hospital can meet the 'eye' when you go to Hull. Down Princess Avenue, my friend Tim and I found a nice bar where they sell Spanish tapas. We enjoyed two rounds and although you cannot really compare with the original tapas, these ones did the job on a Saturday afternoon.That same Saturday, while we sat in the bar, we saw some rugby fans getting ready for the rugby league match between Hull F.C and Huddersfield Tigers. We ended up going to the match and enjoyed it very much. For me it was a new experience to see a sport I have never played, and could appreciate why it is so exciting in this country. It is very dynamic at every minute, and you do not get bored. The experience gave me a lesson about how groups can manage to succeed by allowing each individual to do the best they can according to the circumstances. I might talk about that in a future seminar!
Well, the last bit was too academic was not it? Anyway the game is really exciting, there are a lot of families attending it and the atmosphere is friendly.And last but not least, people living here end up saying "it is not too bad". Here is one of them, our dear friend Miguel, just before leaving Hull...Does not he look happy?
We wish you all the best Miguel, it has been 5 years and still counting, you have become a true friend, good luck with your trips to Swansea, NY and China. Take care and avoid any extreme in...many things.
