Twelve weeks of London
Japanese
‚q‚…‚”‚•‚’‚Ž
I came down alone to London Heathrow Airport at 6:00 a.m. on March 31, 2001.
Host Mother is the frank person who was plump fat in the Poland immigration
of the name of Maryle.
Although I had to live in this house for 12 weeks, there was uneasiness of a
touch by the first experience.
A house is a five affair row house, and since a contract is with 2 meal per a day.
I had to arrange the lunch of the day.
I rode on a tube after a nap, and I went to the London central part, and went out
for the check of the linguistic school which circulates from lunch and the next day,
and the neighboring walk.
Although I was ridden and surprised at a tube, 1/3 about is a non white
(I am also one in it)
Although it was hearing that New York was a mix salad, I thought that the same
was said of London.
My having been surprised at the next is that a pedestrian does not follow a signal.
If a car is turned off, it is disregarding and going across the red signal.
Although I was following the signal at first, since I was left by one person and
I looked foolish.
I take the lead henceforth and was made to ignore a traffic light.
However, when the accident is caused on my responsibility, a driver has no reproof.
Immense reparations will be charged if I cause a taxi and the accident.
Since individualism puts into practice, probably British people are acting by
accountability.
However, the car was following the signal perfectly.
The school walks from Trafalgar Square, is located in the place of 5 minutes,
and is located in a convenient place near also from a tube and a British Rail station.
The lion which is sitting down at Nelson's feet is dignified.
Although I wanted to have come to return to Japan when I passed as long as three
days, since it came by my intention, if it does not do its best for 12 weeks were
persuaded to me.
Breakfast prepared milk, toast, and coffee personally and supper was deficient in
variety with soup and the dish of one article.
Although I became thin 5kg, I returned immediately after the homecoming..
Prices had only 1pound the value of 100 yen grade more highly than Japan.
However, beer is cheaper than Japan.
I bought one Guinness beer at a time, and drank it every day.
Because I did not have a refrigerator.
When I study English, what is learned in English is experience to begin.
Therefore, a lesson has not understood me at all.
Then, I enjoyed British stay.
Britain is closed from good Friday to Easter Monday.
So, I attended the travel company and arranged the Ireland travel.
Although Ireland was one of the countries which I wanted to go from before,
when it came, compared with Japan, it was an impression with a country with
few trees in touch called the end of the ground.
Especially the Inishmore island of the Aran islands was admired, when
[ only with a rock and grass ] it feels, and comes out and could live in such a
place well.
However, it was interesting in the scenery which Japan does not have.
According to the guidebook, Irish people have spirit and I am favorite.
Probably, the maximum slack thing set the spelling of Irish whiskey to whiskey.
The Guinness beer which I like with unnecessary addition is also Irish beer.
Globally famous a museum and an art museum are located in London,
and the most is no charge for admission
(a free mansion also has only those with a contribution box, and a senior).
After school, when free, I went to each museum etc. ,including the British
Museum or the National Gallery, and the precious article in the world was
appreciated.
Since the foreign student gathered in the pub specified by the school and
we had a discussion on being clamorous on Friday every week..
I went to the pub almost every week. I drank Guinness beer, and passed
the time of pleasant one.
It is deeply bitter. The creamy bubble of that is very wonderful.
It can purchase also in Japan. But It is expensive although.
This beer company has published Guinness Book of Records.
The garbage of the previous night is scattered in the morning of the weekend
of shopping quarter.
I had to take care, if I walk.
It cleans up by a dust cart starting around 5:00 in the morning, and it is
beautiful when people come out.
Although the smog of London is famous, it is forbidden from burning coal
now by the old thing, and the fireplace has become decoration.
Therefore, it is said that misty London is an old tale.
The toilet of the station in London has many charged toilets.
Therefore, if people do not have change, they are inconvenient.
Moreover, the vending machine of a condom is installed also in a public toilet of what.
Is this enlightenment of AIDS prevention?
However, I did not meet those who have purchased also at once.
I have the memory which read having written that hot water stopped appearing in
the book which wrote the thing of Britain immediately.
If hot water is supplied to each household and London twists a tap,
hot water will come out.
Therefore, I think that it cannot respond to supply of a peak hour.
Supply of hot water does not have Kitakyushu city in which I live.
So, we are individuals and have to purchase a boiler.
Japanese people do not say their thing as the people from Honshu.
But in Britain, the people from England call it English, the people from
Scotland call it Scottish.
the people from Wales call it Welish, the people from Northern Ireland call it Irish.
They don't call British. (I talked as a small number of people's talk)
However, the person who calls it British is also in immigration.
Host mother was calling her thing British.
Supposing this expression is common, I think that it is a problem to attach the
reason for telling British people to English.
It is 3 times grade that I went home on Saturday in 12 weeks under London stay,
and other weeks set out without reservation to every place in Britain on an overnight
stay travel.
Although I was referred to as going home tonight and went out when host Mother did
not have the place at which it stays, I was able to stay satisfactory.
There is an information and reservation of stay can be performed simply also at a
small station for nothing. (however, required [ about 10% ] as a deposit)
We purchase the ticket of a train on the previous day, and if the reserved seat was
required and it is vacant, we can get a reserved seat ticket for free.
Each station (there is no station of the name called London) in London is not known
unless the train by which he rides becomes at least 15 minutes before departure about
into what No. home it goes.
Many passengers are looking at the timetable.
A display of the home of the train by which them ride begins movements all at once.
The point different from one more Japan is that there is no wicket, and if it leaves,
a conductor will come a ticket for the end.
Therefore, since a ticket is not taken up, it can be brought back to commemoration.
Although I hear that the British train was exact and it had time, to be sure, the
departure time of a starting station was exact 10/10 time.
However, the arrival time to a destination station arrived on schedule only 2/10 time.
Since the commuter's ticket (travel card) of a subway rode also on the bus of the
same area, and British Rail, it came out of the house a little early in the morning,
and passed along it by the bus or the train.
Since the commuter's ticket (travel card) of a tube rode also on the bus of the same
area, and British Rail, it came out of the house a little early in the morning,
and passed along it by the bus or the train.
Although tube attending school was interesting, when I got in the first
experience, a scene is not in sight, either, but it was hot and noisy only about a
tunnel, I tried and the bus and I sometimes used the train.
It was sometimes thought repeatedly that it was running on a curtailed schedule
however it may think that I am waiting for a bus at the time of morning going to
school.
If I am good at English, I will want to tell a bus company a complaint.
It could not but bear, though I was regrettable.
Don't British people complain? Or is the timetable of a bus reference?
Since I came out of the house to time with the margin, for the reason,
Although I had not been late, for the reason since I came out of the house to time
with the margin.
Those who come out of a house at the last moment will be late.
Someone asked me. Do you like London?
I answered "Although it is variously the place where a good place is bad,
if it says which it is, I like London." I like London" Even now, the feeling has not
changed.
Britain has much traditional country remains and entertains a tourist.
In Britain, I traveled Stratford upon Avon, Salisbury, the Lands End, Penzance,
Plymouth, Totnes, Dover, Southend, Edinburgh in Scotland, Llianberis in Wales,
and every place including village of Kotswolds.
Especially my having remained in the impression is that the guide said,
"He rode and came back to Rolls Royce when it returned although it had even the
suitcase and he went out when coming out of a house", when he goes to the parents'
home of John Lennon of Liverpool.
I live in London and it having been the best is having stopped smoking the cigarette
which has sucked up for 40 years.
A reason is for carrying out 4pound [ per box ] no less than 50 pence (about 860 yen).
It was easy to stop, and greasy sweat did not come out, either, but it was stopped easily.
(It is not inhaling till August 2003 present.)
Although it will resume if it becomes the feeling of inhaling with one's intention, for the
moment, such an intention cannot be found, and 100,000 yen money for cigarettes
per year does not have undue importance.
Although Japan is the high prices of commodities, the price of a cigarette will go into
the cheaper one as compared with other advanced nations.
I feel that it was much higher than Japan also in New Zealand and Canada.
It was economically good that I stopped smoking a cigarette also in respect of healthy.
But I sometimes forget a writer, when I go to climb a mountain.
I want to purchase only a return airline ticket, to stay at B&B of
each local city centering on the Lake District, when I go to Britain shortly,
and to go also to the place currently omitted yet. While I stayed, since
the footpath was closed due to foot and mouth disease, the farm in the
Lake District was not able to go. I want to also meet frank host Mother
and Maryle very much. The rose which I gave is the thing which was named
Isao's rose and which wants to look at for the first time in [ growth ],
although that is right.
