Enrollment

Posted on 14th Aug 2008

Enrollment??? Sounds like rolling around... It means registering to the university??? Anyway, the language course started at 28th July, but the first day was not something like "announcement of classes", but actually only for enrollment. (That's rather surprising as it's not like this in Japan.) I went to UAL in Bond Street. It should have […]

Forever Young Soup??? (Day 7)

Posted on 12th Aug 2008

The seventh day. Today I went to Oxford street to buy a mobile phone and a bag to carry to school. Started from Green Park, we went through Mayfair, and had a lunch at a noodle bar called "itsu". The meal there was rather shocking for me though... Although sushi looked like proper sushi... ...Is […]

Internet and Burger King (Day 6)

Posted on 11th Aug 2008

The 6th day. I needed the internet anyway....so went to the reception to ask about it, and found out that the service is offered for free only for summer season. Lucky! The receptionist gave me a LAN cable as well... which was extremely short. 1m? Connecting to the net, the first thing I searched was […]

Elephant & Castle (Day 5)

Posted on 10th Aug 2008

The fifth day. Finally checking out from the hotel, I went to the hall of residence. The area I will live in is just 5 mins away from the university. Which means, I don't need to spend much money for transport! And I can oversleep in the morning! Yes! I was told that the area […]

My good choices

Posted on 3rd Aug 2008

The fifth day...well just before writing about it, these are the things I thought good choices to bring to the U.K. after arriving here. 1. Slippers Even the hotel didn't provide slippers. They are so useful after moving into the hall too. A colleague gave me this, soft, cute slippers. So comfortable! 2. Cosmetics trial […]

Typical tourist day (Day 4)

Posted on 2nd Aug 2008

The fourth day. I went a typical tourist course. Along with Thames, I went to Westminster. To see Big Ben, of course! I know it's toooo common, but I can't feel like I'm in London without seeing it. Even at the first sight from a distant, it looks so great. From a closer distant, it […]

Winsor Castle! (Day3)

Posted on 31st Jul 2008

It's the 3rd day. I started to feel like I wanted to go out for sight-seeing. For some reasons I had to stay at the Park Inn, so I decided to go to Winsor Castle, which I heard it was close to Heathrow. I knew nothing about it other than "it's the Queen's residence". No […]

Still feeling bad

Posted on 29th Jul 2008

The second day. Although I started to feel enthusiastic a bit, now I suffer from jet lag. Waking up at 3:00am, (this is like I sleep over until 11:00 in Japan) having a breakfast around 7 (which is like late breakfast in Japan), having a lunch around 13:00 (dinner), and I feel sleepy around late […]

Arrival (The 1st day)

Posted on 28th Jul 2008

So, it's just a few hours to arrive at the UK, and I need to switch my brain to English-mode completely, but I'm still stupidly laughing watching Japanese comedians. Am I really alright!?!? ...thinking like that, still laughing, I arrived at the Heathrow. It was 16:00 in the UK but 24:00 in Japan... As I […]
