Covent Garden London

For this trip, I really have to start at the beginning. There really is no dull moment...

After a long year and a half Abi (my best friend counselor from Camp Bernadette who lives in Kent, England) and I were reunited in London thanks to a 30 euro RyanAir flight! How amazing! I left Friday morning to start this grand adventure. …

Our Eurotrip was actually here and London was our first stop on our 3 week journey. Sarah and I left from Cork and flew into Stanstead airport in London. We eventually made it to our hostel: Palmers Swiss Cottage, it was a very nice hostel and was actually a refurbished mansion, which made the hostel really unique. We dropped our bags off sine …

We only had four days, but they were incredible. I just love London even if it was freezing cold, and Christmas is definitely a great time to visit :) Anna and I spent hours meandering through incredible Christmas markets and the winter wonderland in Hyde park. We even found a carol concert done by the Swiss church of London in covent garden to go …

First port of call is Paddington Station, and luckily it's only a short walk from there to my first hostel. This place was pretty ordinary and had a lot of student groups staying. I didn't like the vibe there and that's why I changed hostel to Astor Quest. Here I was able to relax a bit more, cook my own meals, plus the staff and other guests are …

Everywhere I've been, people keep saying I've really lucked out with the weather. It has been sunny and pleasant in London the past couple of days (a rarity), perfect weather for sightseeing, though looking ahead I'm hoping it lasts. The train from Paris to London was surprisingly quick. Brandon and I arrived to the centrally-located St. Pancras …

Nice to awake to a full English breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, mushrooms and toast. We were slowly getting used to the sweet European breaky but it was a nice change to get into something a little more familiar.
After our freshly cooked breakfast at our hotel we headed off for the nearest underground station to get to the …

Fui para a escola de matrô e ônibus com a estudante koreana que também estava na casa dos Madden's. Após a aula, ás 16:30 tivemos o primeiro roteiro do Programa Social do Executive Centre - uma caminhada pelos arredores da escola - Covent …

De manhã, peguei o ônibus 8 para a International House. Saltei em Trafalgar Square e caminhei até a escola por uns 20 minutos o caminho inverso da caminhada do dia anterior. Após a aula parti para outra caminhada pela área de Covent Garden, desta vez com a International House Social Programme (aberta para todos os alunos): Welcome Walk. O guia …

Europa....Europa...que lejos estaba!!!...despues de la odisea de confirmar los pasajes, finalmente llegamos al viejo continente a eso de las 5 de la tarde hora europea (francesa en particular). En el avión desde Bangkok almorzamos, a si que tratamos de pasar en banda los precios europeos de comida...pero no fue posible...a si que procedimos a …

For those of you doing your HSC in English - the heading is an example of alliteration. For those of you that are not, you may/may not be pleased to know I have reared my ugly head. I have been MIA as I have been trying to secure employment. This frustrating exercise is ridiculous and I understand why unemployed people lose hope and resort to …
