Diary

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

So. Departure. Although I was thinking of studying English much before I leave, I ended up just drinking with friends. I swear I didn't have time for study at all. Now, I would like to start writing about the life in London, as well as preparation I have done. Of course I will write about […]
