Different culture, different organization

Plans for the last weeks After my trip to London I mainly wanted to enjoy the remaining time with my boyfriend in France. I only had about three weeks left and still had to learn for an oral exam in economic politics. But of course there were some other things on my to...

Coming Home Again

Getting to the Airport The next day I wanted to get up a bit earlier in order to arrive at the airport on time. "Earlier" finally meant 9 am - each day I waited on purpose until the two hosts were gone to work, because once more I realized that I prefered to live alone....

Water Problems in the Guest Room After three days full of sightseeing that was my last real day in London. There was still no warm water but when I got up my host had already left to work. I tried to talk to his roommate but he didn't speak English so well, so I would...

The Parade

Lonely but sucessful Sightseeing Day As my friend who was doing his internship in London was too exhausted to spend another sightseeing day with me, I would discover the city on my own that day. After a quick shower I packed my things and left the house - as the first...

Discovering London by foot

The first day in London - Getting to know the City The first day in London I woke up quite early. The main reason for that wasn't the owner taking a shower and getting ready for work, it was me being hungry. Extremely hungry. I hadn't managed to eat something since my...

London is calling

Plans for London - Alone The week passed by so quickly and I didn't even notice where the time had went. I had enjoyed the evenings and lunchtimes with my boyfriend so much that I really regretted having booked that trip to London so much time before. Don't get that...

Last Day of Sightseeing

Jardin du Luxembourg The last day the weather was a bit better as I could assume looking out of the window, but still not sunny or nice. My Mum's flight would be in the evening so we still had almost the whole day to see some last things. But at first we decided to have...

Sightseeing through Paris

Flirting with a Clown The second day my Mum woke up quite early (as always) and wanted to have breakfast. I would have preferred to stay in bed for 1 hour or something, but as it was our holiday together and she could get quite annoying I got up, too, and took a shower....

Time for more adventures!

Leaving Brussels The next day I packed my things, brought them into the car (which was standing right in front of the door fortunately) and waited for the owner of the apartment to come so that I could give him the keys. I waited and waited but he didn't come. There was...

Atomium and European Parliament

The Atomium of Brussels For the next day I hadn't set up an alarm but anyway I woke up at 8 a. m. Because it was quite noisy outside. I had a small breakfast with the food I had bought the evening before and got ready for my second day in Brussels. There was no window...

The ghost train

Train problems The time in the bus while we were driving from Normandy to Paris was horribly long. After an hour there was no hope left that we would be able to catch the last train to Amiens that we had found in the internet, so we just lay down and slept. Because it...
