First Day!


Day 1


From Finland to Leeds, England:


I woke up 03.15 a.m. and we drove with my mother to the Helsinki-Vantaa airport. From Helsinki I flew to the Manchester airport. From Manchester I took the train to Leeds.
In Leeds i had a little problem finding the way to Joan's house. After one hour i finally found the easiest way to get there. I took the train and walked about five hundred meters.
Finally I found Joan's house! She gave me a warm welcome and a tour of her house. She also told me about local shops, restaurants and pubs. I also asked about public transport and she told me what she knew.
She offered me tea and bread with marmalade. We drank tea and I went outside for a walk. During the walk I went grocery shopping. When I got back, I spent the rest of my day at the house and talked with Joan and her husband Tim.

      At first I was scared and didn't know where to go and what to do. Of course, in the end I figured everything out and I was confident about what I was doing.

      Sure it is good to live in a real British family and learn how they do things. About Lidl I don't know yet. I haven't been in the centre of Leeds. I came out of the train and went right to the next one, which was heading to Headingley where Joan lives. Tomorrow is my first day of work. I have only walked around here in Headingley. It's about 15 km away from Leeds. I will inform you tomorrow if I see Lidl.

    Excellent. Seems like you're getting started just fine. How is the food? And are you getting accustomed to left hand drive?

      I have only eaten macaroni with chicken and also Joan's homemade bread and marmalade. But yes, macaroni and chicken is the same as in Finland and Joan's bread is good and marmalade delicious.
      Left hand drive is very strange but I'm almost accustomed to it.

Last day with Graham and Food in York

Kuva
Day 18 Last day in Technology campus: Today was my last day in Technology campus, because Graham is taking three days off. For the next three days I will be with the estates in Park Lane campus. Today we went with the estates to landfill to drop a full van of garbage. It was my first time in the car that was driving on the left side of the road. It was a bit scary, but I trusted Phill who drove the car. Food in York:   After I visited the York minster I walked a bit around the city. I walked for about an hour and saw a crepe stand. I bought a crepe with nutella inside which you can see in the photo. I'm a chocolate lover so it was delicious. After the crepe I walked around the city visiting some shops and boutiques including a very narrow street with different Harry Potter shops. There was like ten different Harry Potter shops, for example shop with wands, shop with brooms and many others. After the "Harry Potter street" I went to the pub to get something to

  Day 12 Firs work experience in pl campus: Today I was with Graham from 08:30 till 12:30. After lunch which was 12:30 - 13:30 I went to the pl campus and worked with estates. After work I went to the school gym to do workout, there were two school trainers who can help you with your workout. The gym and trainers are free for the school's students and staff. Ben was one of the trainers who showed me everything and told when I can use the gym and where I need to sign in everytime I use it, Ben also offered to coach me but I had a program so I politely declined. After workout I went to the grocery store to get Food for next week. In the grocery stores there are many offers like buy two of the same product and get it two quids cheaper. Day 13 Ping Pong: Today I was with Graham because he asked Paul if I could stay the whole day with him. In the technology campus was some kind of "game day". In the canteen was table tennis, playstation, board games and more. S

First touch with Leeds

Day 3 Leeds: Today I went to the Park Lane Campus where we did welcome with Paul who is International Project Officer and four more students from Kotka. After the welcome we went to find a place to eat. Three students ordered tacos while me and another student ordered Vietnamese food. I ate soup with mushrooms, meat and some vegetables. After we ate we headed to the mall where we did some shopping and got tasty ice-teas. The ice-tea was with some bubbles which you could suck through a straw, pop it in your mouth and you could taste the liquid inside of it, which was sweet. I also saw a man raging in an apple store, throwing phones, laptops and watches off the table. Security got him and after a few minutes, the police came. Police took few photos of the scene and filed a police report. I thought to myself that it's gonna be a big bill that he's going to pay for. After shopping we just walked around the Leeds and got food for home. In the store I noticed that the tea
