London - day 7 and 8 (Saras version)

We went to Cambridge today, but unfortunately I didn't feel very well so Anna and Nicole decided that it would be best for me if we went back home and rested a bit. The little I saw of Cambridge, I liked. The buildings were really beautiful.
In the evening all the students gathered to say goodbye to eachother. It was really sad :(

Sunday. Time for us to go home. I don't wan't to go back to Sweden. What I will miss the most is the beautiful brick houses, the low prices and, of course, the nice people that we met. I wan't to go back there someday, but for now it's time to say goodbye to London. I've learned so much on this journey and I've grown as a person. I thank London for giving me the time of my life. Lots of love / Sara


London - day 6 (Saras version)

Today was the last day in school. It's been really fun, and I don't want to go home on Sunday. We gave flowers to the teacher that's been looking after us during the week. Later on we're going to another museum and tomorrow we're going to Cambridge.
This has been an really amazing trip, and I don't want this week to end.
I will really miss this awesome group :(

Friday

Our last day at school, sadly. I will be missing my amazing teacher Anouska which have been a pleasure to met. I hope I will see her one day in the future until that they day I hope everything goes briilliant for her. One of the nicest people I ever met and i will never forget her.
What we did tthat they were to sum up what we had been doing which i will do on the blog tomorrow when I am home.

We also wrote a little thing to the school, nothing extremly big, but something. We ate and got half our breakfast money back and the rest will we get at home by the school.

After the school we ate something and then it was off to a museum which i cannot remember the name of right now. I will give more info at home about that too. We were there for a while, but it wasnt the things that attract us the most. Therefore we decided to leave and headed off for the last minute shopping. We splited up (it was me, sara, nicole and nastiya) and then met at home again.

At the evening we all met and celebrated midsommar and said goodbye to two off us which would go away the next day.

That was yesterday and now i will write about today :-)

London - day 5 (Saras version)

Today we had a new version of the pre-recorded tour, but they talked about different things of course, like Big Ben and the London Eye. This tour wasn't as long as the other one, and not as educative in my opinion, but it was fun and interesting anyway. When we got back to school we got a paper with a dialogue between two persons. The task was to figure out what the words in bold actually ment. For example "I didn't quite catch that", which is an arrogant way of saying that you're not really paying attention to what the other person is saying. After talking about the meaning of the quotes we sat in different groups and made our own dialogues with these sentences. Afterwards we were to perform the dialogues in front of the class.
Later that day we went to The Globe to see William Shakespeare's play "All's well that ends well". It was really good, and The Globe is one of the few buildings that I've really wanted to visit, so I'm happy.


Camdon and today

Yesterday i went to camdon with the girls from guthenberg (or what it is called in english). We splited up in two groups, one group with Gracija, Fanny and Amez. Then my group was Elvira and I. We went to all the markets and i went a bit nuts with the money. Or not nuts because i only bought cheap things that i knew i wanted and had to buy xP but it was much more than usually.

We also bought 6 donuts for £2. They were incredible because they made them in front of us. Amazing.
Today we went up and headed to school. Every day at 9.30 am we have to be in school. We then went away to westminister and we had a little tour around their. We met ghosts and learned a lot which I will write down when I have my pictures out on the blog and have fixed everything. After the incredible journey it will be up. But it was not as long as the one we had before, the one we had the day before yesterday.
After that we had a lunch break and ate pizza, really good pizza that they had in a shop... Inside a car.. Quite funny actually xD

Then after school we headed to a show at the globe and saw all's well that ends well at 2 pm. It was really fun to see and yeah, something that you have to do if you have time in england. We standed next to the acters and they were really good and it was about a girl who loved a boy that didnt want to marry her even after the king said to him to do it xD ... It was a bit weird but it was still a good shakespear play. :-)

After that we went aroud tottenham and I bought some books. It was really a lovely bookstore and we just went into shops. It was me, sara and nicole that did that. After thta i bought falafel and rice and ate at home while looking at the view. The day was really lovely even though it went a bit to quick.

Now nicole and I are sitting and listning to music in the kitchen while watching the view. Just perfect.
I well give more info about the dya after today.


Will give more information about the days soon

Here are some pictures, hope you will like them:

London - day 4 (Saras version)

Today we didn't do very much. We got some papers with words that we were to learn and afterwards we had a trip to Camdon.

One more update

Hello again, I'm sorry for the late update but we don't really have as much time as I thought we would have and we have to blog in our school... during our breaks, lunch or after school and after school we usually go somewhere with the guide and yesterday I also forgot about bloging even though we didn't have anything after -_-' sorry...

Well, what I did after bloging Monday ate something quickly and then we headed somewhere else. There is a lot of fast food here, even though it might not be the best, it is still fine


We then headed away with Laura, one of the people working at the school and she showed us some diverse things that were really fun to see. I don't remember really what we did more than eat and talk after that. I talked with all of the students, not only the ones from Stockholm so we got to know each other a bit more.
Yesterday we were the first group that tried a new way to be guide around the town with headphones and people who were supposed to be ghost that talked to us. One was William Shakespear, another one Beatrice, a fireman and some others that I cannot remember the names. I thought it was going to be boring but it was really fun and I learned a lot about the city. About the fire that almost burned down the whole city, a ship, william shakespear (we bought tickets to go and watch) It is a comedy and not as famous as the others, but it is inside the globe so it will be awesome.
After the tour around the city, we went back to the school for an argument class that was fun to do because people expressed their opinions. I think that helped us getting to know the once we did not know that much before a lot better.

After that me and my friend Sara decided not to see the movie Bad Teacher that the others wanted to see, therefore we headed home (but stopped at every store on the way). Then Sara and I waited for them to arrive, when they arrived we went to the shoppingmall by our house which is huuuuuuge. But it was extremley expensive so no one bought anything. After that we went out and ate dinner and headed home for a little socalizing.

Today at class we are talking, it is what the class is mostly about. It isn't that serious it is more relaxed and enjoyable. We talked about famous people from Sweden and now we are going to have a presentation about any famous person in the world. We chose the unpopular infamous Rebecca Black, so we will see if they will get it.
It is a tour later around, I think it is called, Camdon, so hopefully it will be fun to go there. I hope it will be fun and I will write a bit more later.

Even though my freezer is a crazy room mate and makes weird noises, I can now sleep. (with something in my ears so I won't hear it). But it is nice to hear noises sometimes which makes me happy to have the freezer in my room.  I shopped two T-shirts... but I don't remember the date... maybe it was Monday.. I bet it was a bit...


I love to be here and it is such a lovely town. I feel not as a turist, I feel more like I am home when Im riding the subway (which looks gorgeus) and the buses and everything here. I am the happiest person in the world right now!

Btw yesterday Rune, Sara, Nicole and me learned a englishmen named James a bit Swedish. It was fun to see him trying to make the sounds we do and when he tried to say Rune everyone started to laugh. But this experience is incredibly.

Now I have to go, but I will write tomorrow if I can. I will anyway update soon.
Have a nice day :D

Btw here you got some pictures
