    First three days in UK – lost near my home

    Below text was written yesterday evening.

     

    Now in 17:50 London Time, it is about 00:50 Beijing Time.  I am now lying in a big and comfortable sofa, writing my BLOG and will put it on my space tomorrow since I do not know how to connect the internet here in my apartment.  And in addition, I cannot type Chinese in this foolish computer, so only can write in English.

     

    So start from last Friday.

     

    Friday

    It was really a long trip from Shanghai to London.  Actually it took about 11 hours to arrive at London Heathrow Airport and a long queue for visa was waiting us that we did not arrive at our apartment until mid-night.  Really exhausted, but still had to get all the stuff from my luggage and went to bed around 1:30 am.  That was already Friday.

    Because of the different time, I woke up about 3:30 am and finally got up half past six. Molly made a good Chinese breakfast and I enjoyed it very much. About 8:30 we go to our London Office. Met a lot of people there, and up to now, still can not remember their names. Then I started my work in UK.

    Neil bought me a sandwich for lunch, and since it was Friday, not very busy in the afternoon. We went back home a bit early. Then the ‘LOST’ began……..

    Going out of office, searching the direction in my mind, I tried to find my apartment. I went around the blocks, and even stopped the police car to give me a help.  However, I just did not know the name of the street and at last I decided to go back to office for help. On my way to office, I met Maureen, a really lovely woman, by coincidence. She brought me to my apartment but unfortunately, there is something wrong with my key. Thank God, Maureen was with me, she helped me to find the guy who had the key and finally I went into the building.  However, I do not know why my key cannot again open my front door, and I sent a message to Molly, waiting Molly back to open the door……

    Really felt lonely when being alone outside my apartment….. anyway, it’ s ok at last.

    Then Molly suggested having a walk outside. So we go to the Tower Bridge.  It is a very beautiful bridge, I like it very much. And we had our dinner beside the bridge, Mr. Xi paid it for us, and I found that it s really expensive to live in London.

     

    Saturday

    Went to Cambridge with Molly with Peter’s help.

    We took the subway to King’s Cross and met Peter there.  Then took the train to Cambridge.

    Cambridge is really a wonderful place!  The churches and the collages are so fantastic. I mainly see the King’s Collage. So beautiful!!!!!!!!!  Really envy those students in Cambridge University.  And in my mind, students there must be very brilliant.

    Here I don’t want to talk a lot about Cambridge, just see the photos in my space and you will love them surely.

    …..

    Then again talk about the ‘LOST’ in UK.  Since I can not find a place to live in Cambridge, so I catch the 19:21 train back to London and change the subway in King’s Cross. I find it is not difficult for me to find the way from Cambridge to King’s Cross, however, again I lost near my apartment…………..

    Actually it took me more than half an hour to find the way back home from the Aldgate Station, which is closed to my apartment. When I walked alone on those quiet streets in the night, I did feel a bit afraid. Anyway I went back home safely.

     

    Sunday

    HOHO, now is Sunday.

    Today I went to the British Museum and Oxford Street. In fact, all on foot. On that way, I saw the Lloyd’s of London, Bank of England Museum, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Marbel Arch, and went to the Hyde Park near Oxford Street.

    The British Museum is really great, especially the reading room in it. I did not take a lot of pictures. And I don’t think the Chinese exhibit is very good. But the Greece and Rome sculptures are really attractive and the Egypt mummies impose me a lot.

    The Oxford Street is said to be one of the most popular streets in London.  However, it is quite different from those streets in Shanghai such as Nanjing Road and Huai Hai Road.  Haha, I bought a bag in ‘Clarks’, not expensive, in fact in London, ‘Clarks’ is cheaper than many other brands.

    At the Marbel Arch, I met a Chinese from Xi An. He is a Doctor of engineer. And work in a university in London. What I pity I forgot to ask his name!!!!! So foolish I am! Any way it was happy to meet Chinese in London.

    The Hyde Park is really worth to mention.  A very nice park indeed. I took many pictures there. Please see them in my space photos later.

    And it is very lucky that both Saturday and Sunday are in good weather. The sunshine and the warm temperature all provide me a good mood in the tourism.

     

     

    Now is over 19:00, I feel tired. Will have a shower and go to bed soon. My mind stops thinking cause I am sleepy…….

     

    And at last I want to thank Peter very much for his guide in Cambridge! Hope he can feel my sincere thanks although he can not see this BLOG……

     

    Hummm………….. reverting my life in UK………….

    TO BE CONTINUED………..

     

     

     

    Sorry, I just can not add my photos on to the Space -- foolish computer~~~

    Anyway, I will ask some one to help or update them after I come back home. So reverting my photos later.................
