"WAIT FOR YOU, PLEASE"

In "Cafe": as you can see, the French language seems to be very difficult to practice for Londoners...

They know that there is a big mistake but they don't do anything about it!

My first impressions of the UK

I am going to explain to you my first feelings of the UK: for this let's start at the beginning.

When, I arrived in Stafford by plane the first things that I noticed was the amount of greenery in Stafford and the important number of houses (not buildings). In fact, there are a lot of trees, open ground and little houses in relation to Paris where you can see less vegetation and numerous buildings.

Secondly, the jet lag between Stafford and Paris is very small but I felt this change because darkness falls very quickly in the UK. I was very surprised when I saw that a lot of stores close very early: approximately at 5.30pm or 6pm. In Paris, stores used to close at 7pm and even later.

Moreover, I felt the cultural differences between France and Great Britain by the fact that people eat very early. I'm used to eating at 8pm but here people eat at 7pm or even earlier.

Thirdly, I was very impressed by the big size of the university and the numerous activities proposed to the students.

Furthermore, I am going to confess you something very funny: sometimes I don't succeed in flushing the English toilet. I don't understand what I must do! Fortunately I succeed in some toilets.

Finally, I have discovered that the food in England is very good: I went to a brasserie and I have discovered that I was fond of chicken with cheese and bacon! I have also discovered, the pleasure of drinking a beer with friends.

In conclusion, I discovered some differences between Paris and Stafford but these changes are not disturbing.

My first 20mns in England. It really does start great
