Last weekend


Day 22

Last things to do:

Today started my last weekend in Leeds. I woke up around 12.00 p.m. and after breakfast I went to the city to walk around. I boight gifts for people close to me, and of course for myself. Later that day I went for a run and made meal for myself and in the evening I walked around Headingley to see how it differs from Finnish night life. Students are having fun and almost everyone wears something different outfits. For example I saw Ninja Turtles, elfs, stormtroopers from Star Wars and The Simpsons characters. Night life out here is different than in Finland, that's sure.


Day 23

Last things to do:

Sunday I didn't do anything interesting. I slept well, ate good meals and started to packing my bag. I started packing my bags because I got few more ideas what i should get home from here. Also my flight leaves at 09:45 a.m. and that means that I need to wake up around 04:30 a.m. I'm planning to post a blog where I will list my favourite thing in here, things I don't like so much and more stuff like this.

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 ...
