London and The Countryside

When I first arrived in London on the 12 of June, it didn't feel like it was going to seem like a short stay. Although my whole trip will be for as long as two weeks, but i have now come to the middle of it. I still remember the days when i could still count 'how many days i've been here'. But now it's 'i'm counting the days to go home'. Luckily for me, i have come here two or three times before so now i don't really have to go site seeing anymore. Although at certain places they have their exhibitions updated almost every six months, i now can concentrate on staying just outside of London and to complete work that's been given to me.

I'm in London to complete my semester. Well, there's a final project that's been given to me by the school. Our University, has opened up an Acedamy here in London. But we share the hostel accomodation at Thames Valley University in Brentford. To me, i think it's a nice place, just outside London. The rooms given is a very "study-ish" room. it really makes you want to do some work, at least.

Anyway, I have a sis in law staying here too. it's because her children, who are my niece and nephews, study here. So she sees them every weekend. But her place is by the countryside somewhere outside London. It's called Beaconsfield. it's a place where you can actually see grass in front or behind someone's house, hear birds chirping in the mornings and wind blowing unpolluted air. And appapently Manchester United and Chelsea have their training fields here. According to my sis in law, there's just about one bookstore here, but nine hair dressers and eight spas. I guess all this is for the wives of them football players, huh!

So anyway, this place is nice, and it's very quiet. You can have quite the choice of what to eat too. They have restaurants serving Thai food, Chinese food, Indian food. Western food and lots more. This is actually the growing community in the UK anyway right?

it's amazing to see people from all over the world living here, in the UK. I travel around mostly by tube. Once i get in the tube there will always be people talking on the phone or talking to one another. Their conversations sometimes are in english, but not British english. But most of the time, their conversations are not in english at all. Sometimes i have never even heard such languages before. That is why there are lots of 'halal' restaurants here now. And perhaps sushi bars toas well. You can find anything here in London nowadays.

Although this is sort of like a school trip, but i have since coming here, enjoyed my stay here in London. I think I'm much more older now and thank my parents and school for allowing me this chance to be here on my own. it has been a wonderful experince, but seriously, nothing beats the maggi sup back at Cyberia!!!! hahaha....cheers!
