New friends and ping pong

 

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. So we played with Graham few games of ping pong, and I won most of them but I let Graham win few games so he wouldn't feel so bad 😉, We played for about an hour. Graham bought me a train ticket to York and back. I would have bought them myself but the website declined my card, I paid to Graham in cash. After working I got home and went for a run.
Sorry again no photos but I promise to take lots of photos Sunday in York.

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 ...
