1st Week

Wow, first Week managed.  I work at Lambeth Mencap, a company that helps disable persons. Now they have a lot of cuts. To fight again this, they want Canon and me to do a video with live stories.

But let’s start my report with the Tuesday, and: English.  It began at 11 o’clock, I love English working times, but end at five o’clock. Nick, our teacher seems to be nice, he’s a funny guy and lesson flow away. What we learned? Some about the sheets in our folder, about tenthousand of reports for only one day and projects we have to do. I already knew that we have to do an English blog, but there are more tasks. One is the life dream presentation at the end of the internship. Nick told us a few things about it and slowly I get an idea what I want to do. Life dream , it’s so an big word, but easily you only talk ten minutes about one think you like. The object is to explain the passion that you feel for your wish.

When lesson was finish we ask Nick where we can find the tube station, because my friends and I want to go to Soho. It’s the Japanese part of the city. Also Phillip said something of a Japan  centre, and I really wanted to go there. Do I have to say that we hadn’t found it? Nick took us to Soho, and that was really kind of him, but he also didn’t know where this Japanese centre should be. So we explore Soho at night, it was great and Chinatown, which we found, was so nice. 

In the evening, when we came to our flat, Mietz and I recognized that there are some brown flecks at our ceiling. Not that nice, but they wasn’t so big that we worried about them. Great mistake. In the next few days they grown bigger and bigger, but then after two or three days they stopped. Water flecks, nobody want or can do something again these.

At Wednesday we, that means Canon and I, went to our internship company: Lambeth Mencap, where we was at the begin of my writing. Allan, our supervisor seems to be a nice guy and we all understand each other well. I really want to help them, and I think Canon is the same, so we will do our best to help Lambeth Mencap. http://www.lambethmencap.org.uk/

Our way to work is the shortest from all of our classmates, we only have to walk ten minutes and then we are at work. It’s great, because we work till 4 pm and so we have a lot of time to explore London

Thursday we had some free time, the same was with Mietz and Saskia.  So we decided to go to the portrait gallery and after this we wanted to explore London. We saw Trocadero with Tokyo Toys Shop, a big game shop and I think there was also a Claires.

Then we walked to Big Ben, which we was able to see from so far. Friday we took a day to rest, like Sunday where we did some of the homework that Nick gave us. At Saturday we found the Japanese Center and, what should I say? I was a little disappointed. I expected fashion out of Japan and lot’s of Mangas, but all they have was Japanese food. So I bought some strawberry Pandas, and they are so delicious, I really need to buy another one for me and a second for my family. Then we went to Camden, but lot of shops already closed when we arrived. So, we have to go there the next weekend, too.

Wow, first week managed, as I said. Seems to be like a wonder that I didn’t got lost. All of the city became so familiar and normal. I really enjoy my time at London and hope that the other three weeks will be as good as the first one.
