See you soon!

Our last day in the town was quite busy,because our packing,cleaning...but we had time to go to the city centre and to enjoy our last hours in Cambridge too.After that,we returned home,in order to have our last lunch together,I couldn't be true,our days in this lovely place were finish,I can't belive it...After of that,we went to the airport by two taxis,our plane would take off in a few hours.

I find write here very strange after so long time,well,I would like to say that,this is one of these experiences that when we will be old,we will remember it.I must to say that this 'trip' is not only come to a place and say: oooooooooooooooooh,we haven´t got parents,party all the night,I'm sorry,but it wasn´t like this,because,we never learn with only parties...In Cambridge,we learned a lot; first of all,you learn english,obviosly,but,you learn other things like,how to live with another people,how to fend yourself with the money...

So,I want to give thanks to my teachers(thank you very much for bear with us these 3 weeks...we know that we were a little bit unbearable sometimes,but we love you,jajajaja)  and to my classmates,they're great(we know that Africa´s concerts were...incredible(?),our ghost night tour,our Tawekondo's lesson....such a amazing trip)

Finally,
OUR END.

One of our last days here.

Yesterday,besides doing our diaries,blogs and the magazine,we had to search for some jokes and funny videos because,in the evening,we saw it before having dinner.It was a hard day,we were at the library until 2 or 3 pm,more or less.So,in our free time,we went to walk around Cambridge :)

We returned home early,we had some activities to do like our English Book Club,jokes and ...we borrowed a film from the library,Shrek The Third,so cute,like all the movies of this 'pretty' ogre.But,before that we had dinner and then,let's go to the cabin in order to see the movie!!.Maria and Claudia lied to us saying that we hadn't got popcorn...but,when we were wating for see the movie...we smelled something,what was it?,yeeeeeeeeees popcorn,jajajajajaja.

When we finished our film,we had a shower and next,we went to sleep :)

Three.

Yesterday,we did the same as everyday,in the morning,we went to the library:blogs,diaries and magazines,you know..but we had to make a kind of questionary because we'll be journalists again.So,when we finished in the library,we decided to go to a park in order to have our lunch there.

After that,we went to Parker's Piece because a student of one of the colleges of Cambridge went to give us a 'meeting',We did some questions about how the life is here what he studies here and a lot of questions like these. Maria and Claudia gave us some free time,like a half an hour.
Next,we did our interview,we had go with our groups for doing this.My group was lucky,but,we had some problems...It was hard for Helena,because all the people that she chose were very unpleasant and ugly...buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut,finally,we found a women,she was very nice,although,she didn't like too much sports,she answered all her questions :D

We had another break,and then,we returned home,we had dinner and the last activity of our day was edited our videos about Cambridge,they'll be cute when we finish them :3
So,we had a shower and bed time!!

Something different.

Yesterday,in the morning,we did the same as everyday,you know...library,so(blogs,diaries and magazines).Certainly,the computers of the library are soooooooooo slow,like turtles,but,just be a little bit patient...But,we have a surprise for you guys,nanananana,you'll discover it (;

Some of us,went to Christ Park in order to eat our lunch.After that Claudia and Maria had a new activity for us,a treasure hunt.This game was about doing 11 tasks,some of them were about going to a place and searching for pictures,taking photographs of us in that place,asked about information of the place...the group that did it in the shortest time,will win a 'reward',but we don't know what it is yet...Africa,Helena and me were the winners,muajajaja.

After that,we went home,and we had to learn something....we had our dinner early because of our mysterious activity...just a clue...
When we finished it,we started with the make up....soooooome,we turned into ghosts!We were walking around the streets while we scared people,sooo funny!,one girl that walked along on the street told us: 'it's not funny' with a squeaky voice,there was a group of Chinese peole that ran and shouted because of us...We made some introductions of our ghost stories (the one that we had to learn),in the different places that we had to tell them.When we finished,running time guys,jajajajajajaja,I don't know how,but everyday,we run because of something,sometimes we thougth that we will miss the bus...well,sometimes not,aaaaaaaalways...

So,we arrived home very late,we decided to have a shower and sleep.It was such an awesome day :)

The countdown has begun,5

Yesterday,we started to wake up early,again...We had breakfast in our porch,then some of us made lunch and it was library time,so,we took bus number three and finally,we came to the library.Here,we did our blogs,diaries and the magazine.

After finishing  all these things,we had a big break for having lunch and rest,so some of us,went to a park,and the others went to walk around the city.When our break finished,we went to do some sport to a different park,this was smaller than Parker's Piece,but it was nice too!.So,I continued...we had like two 'instructors' in order to teach us how to play cricket,one of them was a mix,like  'El Sevilla' and Jack Black,mother of god...you don't know how funny it was to see him 'run'.... Jajajajajajaja,I'm a little bit cruel,I know,but I had to tell it to you.The other 'instructor' (Yes,Maria,'instructor' jajajajaja) was nice too,he was speaking with me,and he told me,that when he was a child,he studied Spanish..the only words that he remembers in Spanish were : 'mierda' and 'burro'.Well done!! jajajajajaja

When our cricket time was out,we went to the supermarket in order to buy some food that we needed,but,this time,the students had to buy everything with only 20 pounds,it was our budget,our shopping time finished,so,we went to the bus stop,we took our bus,and we arrived home ,the cooking team prepared dinner,and after that,we did our scrapbook,I think,that it'll be awesome when we finish it ,as the magazine,of course :)

We stopped at 10 or 10.30,maybe,so,we had a shower and sleeping time guys!

The time is running out too fast.

Another weekend here,
On Saturday,we didn't do anything interesting,we woke up late and we did some shopping around the Grand Arcade and the market ,we had our lunch in the park near our dear Poundland and then went home to have a siesta,oh,how I miss my dear siestas in Spain...you can't imagine it.

Finally,we made our dinner,we have dinner together at home,and after that,we did whatever we wanted.

On Sunday,we had the morning off,but,from 1 pm to 5 pm,maybe,we had a biking tour to Grantchester,so cute.We could do some sport while we enjoying the beautiful view that the countryside provided to us.

When we arrived,we had free time until 7.30 pm,so at that time,we took our bus in order to go home and have dinner together :)
Finally,we had to clean our house,had a shower and bed time !

Somebody that I used to know.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH,OUR LOVELY FRIDAY.
Can you imagine where we have been? hdfugoheguioshirLONDON.
Just a little bit of motivation guys!

So,we woke up early in the morning,we made our packed lunch,and it was time to go to the train station in order to get our tickets and go to London :DDDDD.When we arrived to London at 11 am,I think,to Kings Cross,here came the first memory of the trip that we did with our High School two years ago we had to take the underground for going to Piccadilly Circus,oh,it was so nice to remember every single thing that we did in London two years ago...really...i don't know how to explain to you...well,lovely jajajaja.
Then,we went to the Chinese neighborhood (Chinatown),near Piccadilly Circus,Buckingham Palace in which we saw the Royal Guard,they are so...stupid,so serious,they hadn't got any expression on their faces,and some people tried to make them laugh,but they couldn't.

After Buckingham Palace,we went to London Eye and The Big Ben and when we finished,let's go to Camden Town guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuys :3.We finally visited this bohemian place!.It was so different,how can I explain it...?,there were a lot of people in the streets,and there were different shops with different styles,it was great,and if you are thinking about going to London,I personally recomend you to go to  Camden Town :3,we had a break and then,we went to St.Paul's Cathedral and Hyde Park.

Another break,we went to the end of Oxford Street,I didn't remember that it was too big...but,look at the best side of this,we did some 'sport' jajajaja,yes,we had to run,because we hadn't got so much time to go to Hyde Park...

Finally,we took the train in order to go home,but,we had a little problem,after our exhausting day,we had to go home on foot,because,there weren't any bus...but,it didn't matter,because we couldn't feel our feet...We arrived home and,went to bed!!

Journalists.

We started having our breakfast and doing our lunch.Then a litlle bit of library and after that,the best part of our day began :)

We had to do some interviews in groups,to the people who were in the river Cam with their boats,some of them were nice,others a little bit unpleasant,but there must be just a little bit of everything, musn't it? (I think that our magazine will be awesome with these interviews and our different tasks,Grantchester,Ely and it's obvious,our dear city,Cambridge, I can't tell you more,so,when we finish it,I will show to you,who knows...but,at the moment,'top secret' jajajajaja).

When we finished our interviews,we returned home in order to speak about the books that we borrowed from the library,yes,our English Book Club.So everybody,well,only the students,had to do a summary about what we read these two weeks.

We did our dinner and after that we started to make our videos about Cambridge and finally,a shower and went to our beds ! :)

“The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, are of imagination all compact.” -William Shakespeare.

When we finished our breakfast,we had a kind of presentation about our magazines,then,library time!
Here,we only had to do our blogs and our diaries,because it was late,and we talked about the magazine before,so,greaaaaaaaaaaaat.

After that ,we had a little break,but we couldn't go to a park,because it was raining,so we went to a shop porch in order to eat our lunch ,what a pity! :( .We met Claudia,Maria and their boyfriends at the tourist office,we wanted to take our tickets for Shakespeare play,yes,we went to see 'A midsummer night's dream'.But,it was at 7.30 pm and we had so much time.Claudia and Maria explained us at the library how the plot is, in order to understand it better.Then we went to Harry's,but it was closed...we went home and we played some funny games,only for a short time,because,we had to dinner at 6 pm!!!,yes 6 pm jajajajaja.So let's go to the kitchen girls!!Finally,we brushed our teeth and went to Trinity College,the play was in the garden.I had to say that,the play was really funny,I thought that it would be 'serious' without any joke or something like that,but it was the opposite,the characters used the public in their play (they were running around us,one of them was sitting for a while near us,and he said something like : 'it's nice here :)  '.

The play finished,and we had to go shopping in the supermarket,we're machines,eleven people,one supermarket and only 2 minutes,I think that we must appear in The Guinness Book of Records! jajajajaja, but it wasn't end,we had to run to the bus stop,all the people looked to us when we passed near them running and with shopping bags jajajajaja,but it didn't mind,we had such a lovely time yesterday together,running,but together,like champions (;

To finish our day,we arrived home,and bed time :)

Punting and murder,what else?

Yesterday,was a meeting day,Claudia and Maria introduced us to their boyfriends,they're so nice.We started our day having our breakfast with Claudia's boyfriend.You can guess what we did after having breakfast,so i can't tell you all the typical introduction that I did eeevery single day,because it's the same,ooh,our lovely library jajajaja,it's a little bit boring,I know guys,but sometimes,we had a nice time here,doing our magazine.So after the library,we had free time,we went to a huge park,awesome :).

We relaxed and then,we went to negotiate with the punters,yeeeeeeeees,we went to the River Cam in order to do punting,but...we had problems,we could't do it until 5.15 pm,more free time,muajajaja.So we decided to go to a tea' shop (Mum,you had to try it,as I said to you yesterday,when we spoke by telephone,it was so delicious :3 ).After this break,we went to do punting around the River Cam.We saw all the colleges of Cambridge,it had a lovely view from our punt,our punter explained to us the history about the colleges and some traditions about them,he said too that John's College was his favourite and,I agree with him, it was amazing :)).But we had Chinese friends,jajajajaja,just joking !! There were 3 women with us,taking photograps of everything that was moving.Seriously,how much money they spend on cameras and photographs?...mother of god...

Finally,we returned home,our night will be funny,we played a game like 'Cluedo',but,I lad to read about our characters in order to know the way that they speak,what they look like...and all these things.It was about a murder and all the students had a role in that small game,I was the widow,my 'husband' died,and I didn't knowwho killed him :((((((((,so we had to guess who was the murderer...When we finished,we took some photos.Here are Ali and me after our small 'theatre':
We are so pretty,we know (;

After this funny day,we had to rest,so,as you can imagine,bed time!

The American Cementery

Yesterday,we didn't come to the library because we went to see the shooting stars the day before,so,as I said,we arrived too late home.We were so tired,so we decided to stay at home and do our blogs,diaries and our tour around London there.YES,WE HAVE OUR ROUTE AROUND LONDON(sorry,as you can imagine,I'm very excited because of that,you can't go to London every day...so,ONLY 3 DAYS GUYS!,ok,I stop jajajaja)

Next,we made our packed lunch,we ate it in a different park,the one near the bus station,because we had to take the bus in order to go to the American Cementery.It was at the outskirts of our city.This cementery was really big,not like the one that we have in Merida ...You can see it:
Madingley American Cemetery IR

The fall .

Hello everyone!!
Our last day was loooooooovely, Alicia and Carlos started their day making our breakfast and then our lunches. Just a little bit of library, you know, blogs, diaries, the magazine and finally free time. The afternoon was different, first of all, we went to a social club in which we met some people from Australia, Italy and there was a boy from Cambridge too. It was a strange experience when we started to speak with them, I think that it was strange because I'm very shy with people, but when you speak with someone such a long time, your shyness dissapears and you begin to feel comfortable :)
After that, we went together to a park, there, we did some activities related to food because we went to have dinner in the typical English pub, so cute!! When we finished our activites,we had a short break, some of us went to another shopping centre and the other students were in a park. The time was running out, so we had to get back in order to meet all the students and our teachers in the same place to go to the pub, fish and chips time guys! it's a typical dish here, and it was delicious :3. When we finished, we went to another meeting with people from all the world, here, we ate pancakes, delicious like our fish and chips. I met one girl from London, my shyness wasn't there, it was so great, and I was very happy :DD,we met people from Barcelona, Portugal, Australia... a very good experience if you would like to meet people. It was late,so we had to go home.
There's an anecdote!!!!!!!!!!!!! jajajajajaja
When we were wating for our bus, Alicia and Africa were crossing the street and Alicia put the pin to Africa, she was flying for seconds like a flying squirrel jajajajajajaja, poor Africa.
Finally we arrived home, there wasn't any activity because it was late, so a shower and we went to bed :))

7th August

Yesterday, Concha and Luis started their day making our breakfast and later the made our lunch. When we came to the library we didn't stop!! we started our blogs, then our diaries, the magazine and with a kind of 'project' about Cambridge. We had to choose one place of the city, we looked for information about it and we learned it too, in order to make a video like the Spanish programme 'Callejeros Viajeros'. Next, we went to the supermarket to buy some food. We arrived home all together, not like last day. At home we had a small break, in this time we did some writtings about our expectations of this experience and what we think about this city (as you can imagine, I love it... I think that day by day I fall more in love with this place), we had dinner and then Claudia and Maria showed us how to make a short with our videos. To end our day we went to sleep.

6th August

Yesterday,we started our journey making the breakfast (Helena,Africa and me were the cooks for all the day). After breakfast we prepared the lunch.
We started our days in the library. It is soooo awesome, we have a lot of books, cd's, dvd's for enjoy here or tak them home. I thought that our time at the library would be boring, but all the students get relaxed doing our blogs while we're listening to our favourite bands. We had lunch at 'Gran Arcade' and then we had a break, breaks are very nice because we can go wherever we want, but don't get lost guys.

*Here,you can see our lovely shopping centre, which I have mentioned a lot, The Grand Arcade,but it's only a a side of it..yes,it's too big,*

Then we went to visit a lot of colleges, like 'King's College','Corpus Christi College', 'Emmanuel College'...We had another break, in which we came to 'Gran Arcade' again, because we walked a lot around the city, as you can imagine, we were a little bit tired. At 6.30 pm we had to be at the bus stop, but Claudia and Maria weren't here, so we took our bus and went home. We were afraid, because we thougth that our teachers would be angry with us, when they came home Maria played a trick on us but she laughed... We made dinner, had a shower and started with the design of our scrapbook. Finally we went to sleep.

lunes, 6 de agosto de 2012

Our first day in the new town.

First of all, we had breakfast in our porch, we made breakfast together : toast, chocolates, cereals... Then we made our lunches while some of us were brushing our teeth. After that, we came to 'Grand Arcade' for asking about the library card, but the library hadn't open, so we decided to come late there, we went to the tourist office, each person asked about activities in Cambridge, places to visit and that kind of things. When we had the necessary information and our library cards, our teachers gave us some free time in which some of us went shopping around the huge shopping centre that we had here and the others went around the city searching for a nice place. After our big break, we went to the supermarket and we bought the food that we'll need for this week. We arrived home and after we had put our purchase in the house, we had another little break. Claudia and Maria made some groups to organise ourselves. Alicia and Carlos made the dinner and then, Concha and Luis washed the dishes while Elena, Africa and me had a shower. At the end of the day, we played some games, having a very good time together. Finally we went to sleep.

Arrival in Cambridge.

We arrived here at night, we took our luggages and we came outside for waited  for our taxi drivers. It was too late and they didn't come, Maria phoned them several times and finally at 1 pm, they arrived at the airport and took us to our new house. I was scared because our driver drove very fast, well, in general here all the people drive in the same way, too fast and when they stop, they're so glued to the car, bike, motorbike that they have in front of them. To finish our day, we arrived home, Claudia was waiting for us. We were so tired, so we decided to wake up later the next day.
