Headingley

Day 2


Headingley:

My day started at 12.00 pm. when I woke up. I started my day with breakfast. I ate Joan's bread with marmalade and of course, with tea.
After I ate, I went to my room to read about Leeds in internet and from the travel brochure which Joan's husband Tim gave to me.
Around 16.00.pm. I went outside for a walk. I walked for about an hour and a half and saw the main street of Headingley. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures for the blog. Anyway, there were shops, pubs, restaurants and lots of takeaway ca
fes. It was a bit boring day but tomorrow is my first day of work and it's in the middle of Leeds.
In the evening I played with Joan's cat called Missy. She is very playful even though she is 8 years old and she purrs a lot. Tim said that the cat likes me.
Regarding my feelings on the second day, I'm getting more and more used to this place, which in term makes me feel more confident being here.

First Day!

Kuva
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.

Three normal days

Day 9 Sick: I woke up in the morning and felt sick so I didn't do anything, I just slept and drank tea. Can't write anything from that Sunday. Day 10 Normal day: After work I walked home to eat something little, and after that I ran as a workout. I was tired after running so I didn't do much. During the run I saw few beautiful churches and a big park called Burley park. Also I noticed that many people give space so I can run past them. That's very kind in my opinion and I haven't seen that in Finland. When I got home I was tired and just took a shower, ate and went to bed. Day 11 Good news: Today I was with Graham in technology campus from 08:30 till 12:30 and after that for the first time I started working in park lane campus with estates. Estate with whom I was with was called Jim and he showed me around the campus. While walking in the building I saw a school gym, I asked Jim to show me the gym a bit closer and it was just what I needed. ...

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 ...
