Everyday life in Liverpool


We stay in a hotel in Liverpool. Needless to say, we have to pay for it everyday.
It costs very much and we also have to pay for our food.
To save money, we share food and cook everyday.
We cooked hanburg steak for the first night. It was good!!

I had a cold and I had been ill for a week.

I have to go to wash clothes some times a week. In the hotel, they have a washing machine but it is out of order. So, we have to take 15 minutes walk to wash clothes.
The picture is on the way to the laundry.

The First Snow in Liverpool




I took this picture on 8th Februrary.
Snow fell on that day. For me, this was the first snow this year.

It's cold in Liverpool, but it's not so much different from my hometown.
I miss my hometown, family, friends, and Japanese food.
I want to go back to Japan!!

Wet Floor


I found a lovely picture in the university.
I fell in love with it for the first sight, so I post.
Is anyone who agrees with me??

The meeting at the university

As soon as we arrived in Liverpool, we had to contact with a British teacher for our schedule.
I had heard that we could take five classes or lectures during our stay.
I wanted to take some classes for the students who want to be teachers. The classes are called TESOL.
However, there was a problem. The classes had finished in Semester1!! As arriving During in Semester2, we cannot take these classes.
I was really disappointed about that, and I could not find what to do.

I cannot have found what to do now, I took some classes eveyday.
Who knows what to do??

Arrival in Liverpool



On 5th of February,we arrived in Liverpool at last!!
A friend of mine took this picture in the Liverpool Lime Street station.
It took long time from Kumamoto to Liverpool.
We had to stay in Seoul and in London because we would arrive in the midnight.
I didn't want to do so, but we didn't have another choice.

I want to make many friends with British people in Liverpool!!

Broken suitcase!!!


In the ariport, I was excited because I arrived in the U.K. at last.
And I had a lot of things to do in the U.K.
However, my dreams were gone when I saw my suitcase.
It was broken!!!!

I could not say even a word, then I had to fill out some forms.
It took long time and my companies had to be kept waiting for me!!
I'm so sorry for that...

I could not know how to do with my suitcase in the hotel in London.
But, a friend of mine helped me with my suitcase.
She helped me with opening it.
I was very happy then. I appreciate her!!

By the way, I had to contact to an office worker to get new suitcase.
I had to pay for making a call, then they told me that they would replace my suitcase to new one.
I told to them where I stay in the U.K.

Some days later, a staff visited my hotel and he left new suitcase.
HE JUST LEFT IT!!!

They didn't apologize to me.
Then, I realised that something is wrong with this system.

Coke


I found an interesting coke in the airplane to U.K.
It was colorful and its design was my taste!!

I want you to have a little look!

In Seoul


I took this picture when I was on the way to the airport in Korea.

In Korea


I have studied abroad in the U.K.
I had to stay in Korea just one night.
I travelled with my friends. However, we lost in Korea because it was the first stay in Korea.
I took this picture in the next morning.
We will have to stay when we will go back to Japan in March, but I don't want to do that because of this bad memory.
