Hi everybody,
I am having lots of fun here in Plymouth. It took us 24 hours and 4 planes to get here. It was a very long and exhausting trip. Then the airline lost our luggage. We got it back the day after we arrived thankfully.This is the view from my bedroom window. Beautiful!
I started at my school, Widey Court Primary School on Tuesday and I love it. You can look at their website:(http://www.wideycourt.plymouth.sch.uk/) on Tuesday and I love it. My teacher is very nice and I am learning alot from her. I am doing alot of observing rather than teaching here.
There are alot of things that are different here than in Florida. I didnt think that it would be so different. One big thing is of course the driving. They drive on the left side of the road and also do not have any stop signs (they have roundabouts instead). Also, the light goes from red to yellow to green instead of straight to green.We've been taking the bus to and from school everyday which is a new experience for me. Its hard to figure out which bus to take if we want to go somewhere new. People are so nice here. We went to the grocery store and pizza hut last night and we wanted to call a cab so we asked the waitress if there was a phone anywhere that we could use for the taxi and she let us borrow her cell phone. Also, they gave us free soda at pizza hut as well. And today, we were going to the city centre to do some shopping and have dinner and we asked the teachers which bus we should take and one of them offered to drive us. There are alot of words here that are different as well:
restroom = toilet/loo
sneakers = trainers
to go = takeaway
cookies = biscuits
sweater = jumper
french fries = chips
potato chips = crisps
What are you all doing back home in Jacksonville? I miss you. Please write back.
