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
3. London: It is the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom. London is considered to be one of the world’s most important global cities and has been termed the world’s most powerful, most desirable, most influential, most visited, most expensive, innovative sustainable, most investment friendly, most popular for work, and the most vegetarian-friendly city in the world.
4. Ely: This place has an amazing cathedral which it design has a mix of French and Gothic art.
5. The Leed Castle
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.
Some of the places I have visited in France are:
- Eiffel Tower / Tour Eiffel:
- Triumphal Arch / Arc de Triomphe
- Sacred Heart Basilica / Sacré-Cœur
- Louvre Pyramid
- Musée De L’Ordre De La Libération
- Palace of Versailles
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
