Here is a quick review of the first week in England for our student Lars, he has joined us here at TTPL for the next couple of weeks. Welcome and we all hope you continue to enjoy your time with us.
The forecast predicts blue sky and very much sun. When I arrived
in Bristol on Friday the forecast was right, but I had already caught a heavy
cold on the plane. After 2 hours driving on the left side on small roads I
finally arrived in Torquay and it was so beautiful, the sun was shining and the
sky was blue.
In Germany it is very cold and before I
left Germany it has snowed and
additionally it’s unusual to see a blue sky,
there is always a grey sky or it’s snowy. In Torquay there isn’t snow and it
isn’t raining, there is just a big blue sky.
The next day I drove from Babbacombe over Paignton to
Brixham on the Coast Road, the traffic was very jammed because it was Easter
holidays and everyone drove to the coast.
On Monday I drove to Exeter. It’s a fairly large city in the
south-east of Devon. On the right you can see the Exeter Cathedral. The
cathedral is very long it seems to be nearly endless.
The next day I received my welcome pack
with a little mistake in the date, so I had this day to go to Dartmoor National
Park. There I saw many wild horses, which were very tame, they stood right next
to the road.
On Wednesday I finally started working on 10 am. At first I
became my Welcome Meeting, after that I started making little tasks, like
searching internet addresses from other organisations. After I had finished
this task, I got some several tasks. At the end I got a new task to enter new
applicants into the system. I finished work on 4 pm.
On Tuesday I went again to work and I worked until its 1 pm.
Kerry took Laura and me to the student meeting into the zoo. It was very funny.
There were many different exotic animals, which were from tame to dangerous.
On Friday I worked as usual and wrote this article. In the
weekend I will visit Plymouth and Dartmouth.
