Internet and Burger King (Day 6)

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 where Burger King is lol …I like fast foods. And prefer BK. In the UK, I think BK is much better than mac. The nearest one is in Waterloo station! Oh I remember, a few years ago,  I went there with my friends before taking […]

My good choices

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 kit The first few days are rather tiring, so these things are really useful to be relaxed after taking shower. I like these “trial” things anyway. At the moment I’m using “Makanai Cosme”, but it’s really good. It has cleansing, soap, toner and oil and […]

Typical tourist day (Day 4)

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 looks great too. It looks much better than how it looks in photos. Words can’t describe this. …I took this picture without thoughts, so CCTV has got into the frame… well, it means a lot anyway… By the way, this is very typical as well, […]

Still feeling bad

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 afternoon. Perhaps as I am tensed a bit as well, I couldn’t get out from this loop for the first few days. But I need to move anyway! The place I went first was Heathrow. 0.3 miles is not far to take buses, so I […]

Arrival (The 1st day)

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 couldn’t sleep on the flight at all, I was extremely sleepy. Also I immediately experienced the UK style. While lots and lots of people were queuing, there was few immigration officer! It took 1 hours to get through this. umm… Carrying a 20kg suitcase and […]

Departure

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 usual topics such as music or football. I even haven’t given up writing about Korea! Well, it’s been over three months already…but I will do it. So, what is tough about going to the UK is 12 hours-long-flight. How can I kill the time? Today […]
