My Arrival in England

Travel is never a matter of money but of courage. England was the first country I wanted to visit when someone talked about travelling. Nevertheless, there was a fact that always made me lose my hopes, that was the money. Fortunately, I decided to study English and be part of the Panama Bilingue program which allowed me to travel. Surprisingly, they have sent me to this beautiful country. My first day in England was just wonderful since I got out of the aircraft. Meeting new people, hearing the British accent, being able to understand and speak to them, putting a step in the country you always dreamed to be one day is an indescribable feeling that I would like others to feel. When I arrived to london airport, after all the control we have to pass through, there were a very welcoming boy call Thomas who took us to a bus and ride us to Cambridge that is the place we will stay for four month.

Everywhere I look was absolutely amazing. The first aspect that called my attention was to see that people do not drive their car on the left side as in Panama, they do in the right side. second, the way houses are build and the structure they have. They are really different from Panama, for example in Panama houses are build of cement and in England they are made of brink and mix well with the environment.

CAMBRIDGE

WHAT DID I DO IN ENGLAND

1. Anglia Ruskin University

The first we met in Cambridge was the university where I will be studying during three month. This university is bigger than any university in my town in Panama. When I came in I got stunning by how large it is inside and how many rooms and floor it has. Each classroom have their own advance technological equipment to develop a class. It counts with many different subjects from many different Areas. It also have one large computer room that student can use whenever they need. Beside this, they have a big library where you can find any kind of book according to your english level.

2. Punting

Punting is one of the touristic activity that Cambridge offers. by going punting you receive the best and most beautiful view of the most beautiful part of Cambridge from the most unique perspective. The punting is doing in the River Cam, while I was making my route, I could appreciate the most famous university in Cambridge, King’s College that is an outstanding building with a beautiful architecture. Through punting activity people receive information about the past of Cambridge.

WONDERFUL PLACES I VISITED WHILE I WAS IN CAMBRIDGE

ABROAD ENGLAND

1. PARIS (FRANCE)

One of the Advantages of being in Europe is that all the country are together, it means that is really easy to move from one country to another and is less expensive than we think. One of the country we Were able to visit with the university was France. There is to ways to go to france from England. One is by Ferry that is a really long and tired travel, its takes around five or six hours. The second option is by train. First, I was wondering how people get to France by train if there is the sea. Its turns out that there is a part in the sea that has a low sea level so the train goes underground. It journey takes just three hours. The most interesting aspect is the time. France has one hour later that England and I am still wondering how could it be possible.
