Shopping


Day 8



I woke up at 08.00 a.m. and was planning to go to the York. Unfortunately it was raining and windy outside so I decided to visit York next weekend. I read more about York and the rain didn't stop. The rain stopped about at 12.30. p.m. so I went to Leeds with few other students from Finland. We visited a few malls and shops that you can't find in Kouvola. Other students bought clothes, but I didn't buy anything. I was searching something to bring to Finland as a souvenir. I actually found some souvenirs but was scared to buy anything. I have two and a half weeks left so I decided to not hurry. At least I have a few ideas in my mind.
In the middle of shopping we ate fish&chips. They were good but not as good as in the other place that was located next to my job. After lunch we walked around Leeds and saw for example the town hall from up close. Other students wanted to visit more shops, but i went home, but I went home. It wasn't that dark yet so I walked home. On the road home there were
many students outside and I think it's because of the weekend and they wanted to have some fun with friends. I noticed that British students have more fun on their free time as they were walking around in big groups and hanging out together.

    Sasha visit some museum or another interesting place, it gives your more information about place and it's history, this make different from another places. Shops how you truly noticed are the same nowadays.

      I'm planning to visit museums in York. Joan said that in Leeds there are no good museums. Leeds is more of a student city so there are lots of pubs, bars and night clubs.

    The most famous thing in Leeds must be Leeds United FC. But not much besides football, I believe.

    That's true, also all of Leeds universities are famous but they are schools. I can't go inside, but I can take photos if you want in my next blog. Next to my job is Leeds United shop, if you want I can bring you a shirt from there :D.

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 ...
