Railway museum and three normal workdays


Day 19

 Wednesday:

After work I walked home and didn't do anything interesting that day so it was an uneventful day altogether.

Railway museum:

In York I visited the railway museum, even though I'm not so interested in trains. Railway museum was founded in 1975 and the museum won the European Museum of the Year prize in 2001. It was great to see how trains have changed along the years. There are over hundred of trains and about two-hundred other railway vehicles. My favorite trains were the old ones, I didn't care so much about the new trains. Entry to the museum is free but donations are welcome. In addition to trains there are more to see, for example train engines and paintings. Railway museum is close to the train station and I highly recommend to visit it even if you don't like or care about trains.
Afrer railway museum I walked around the city and saw the minster again at night. I also bought few souveniers and something to myself. After walking it was time to go back to Leeds so I went to the train station. York was a great and beautiful city and I really recommend visiting it.



Day 20 and 21

Thursday and Friday:

Thursday I went for a run after work and did some cleaning at my room.
Friday was like Wednesday, I didn't do anything interesting except planning my weekend. Friday was also my last day at work so I got a certificate and said my goodbyes to my coworkers.

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 ...
