Here I am, London!

Hey Hey out there!

I have arrived. It was a long and sometimes unpleasant journey but now I'm here, at the language school in London.

I went to the airport yesterday morning. It was really early because I had to get up a long time before leaving. My parents drove me to the airport, I checked in and after a goodbye I went to the waiting room.
Sun is shining in the waiting room.


The back of my plane.

The flight was very nice even though it was very cloudy. The sun was shining in Frankfurt, but everywhere else were just rain clouds underneath me. I wasn't in the air a long time, but because of British Airways I got some cute little cokes and something that tasted like 'Balisto'.

The stewardess gave my two cans <3. 
Because of delay I arrived at Heathrownot before 12 o'clock. I collected my bags, was asked by a random airport employee how long I would stay here and went to the taxi stand. I was forced from another employee to take the third cab. And this was the one with an old man who didn't even know where Twickenham was...

He looked it up on a road map. We drove and drove but after a while he was just confused and didn't know where to drive! He always he never heard this road before. I was just annoyed. After a while he found it. But I had to pay the whole bloody price even though he was too dumb to drive me to my destination.
Nice start.

I had to ring a doorbell on the first floor and a nice lady named Paula brought me to my apartment. I just met one girls who lives there, too. My room, which is right to a small corridor, is very undersized and narrow. I could hardly place my things. Especially, my suitcases are blocking the whole free room.
I will post some picture of it later. At the moment I'm too lazy to rum through the house.

Today was my first class. We have been categorized into different classes. We had to make little test which includes speaking, writing, grammar and vocabulary.
After that we had I little break and the classes started.
I'm not sure if I'm in B1 or B2 but it's somewhere in the middle. We are a course of about 10 people, only girls. Our teacher is the only men amongst the teachers (I'm a bit sorry for him). His name is Sebastian and he is really nice and encourages us to talk a lot.
Well, I did and now my throat hurts because it was too much.
My English classes start at 8:45 in the morning and end at 14:30. 

On the afternoon there is an excursion sometimes. Tomorrow should a trip to the British Museum, but nobody else but me want to go there so it's cancelled.
But today we went around Twickenham. It's really, really small.
There are some shops, that are very expansive, because Twickenham is a wealthy borough of London.
Bit they have a nice little park.
The entrance of the York Park.
In the summer people are picnicking here.



This fontain is called "The Naked Ladys". In front of it an
extreme independent singer and his camera crew.
I don't know why there are flowers at this time
of the year. But they are beautiful.










We went home to the language school and eat some nice pizza the school bought us (will be the only time I think).
And that was already the end of the day!

I hope I well get into London soon. The school gave us some information about the Oyster card and where to get. Maybe I'll buy one tomorrow if I have time. Today I just had time to buy me some water and cereals, because the timetable was so full and the groceries close very early.




But all around me is everything I need. A chemist, a waitrose (it's like our 'Real', the only grocery store here and, I'm afraid, as expensive as Real), a pharmacy and a lot of pubs.

So, that was everything about my first day. I hope you keep reading my block and I hope some more interesting facts keep filling that Blog.

Have a nice time, wherever you are!
xoxo
