@Manchester 日記 3

<火車站附近拍攝不知名建築搭上市區電車>



我得說, 如果英國沒有雨? 我會更愛這個國家, 即使她再多麼髒都沒關係. 來這裡, 揮之不去就是那細到不行的雨絲. 防水外套跟雨傘是必備品.

 

時差還是繼續困擾著我, 凌晨三點爬起來跟在台灣的友人打屁聊天, 順便看看有沒有新的新聞, 反正, 台灣經濟就是那麼差, 換了個馬糞, 也沒多英明! 只能每天打陳家來轉移自己的無能! 

一直摸摸摸到十點多隨便吃點東西就出門去市中心買火車票, 順便也辦了火車折扣卡, 一定要是學生身分才可以辦, 辦的時候請帶照片一張, 如果在英國停留時間超過半年以上來半比較划算, 一張卡24英鎊, 優惠就是買票時可以直接折扣三分之一.  所以這禮拜去Chester的票, 當場從12英鎊變成8英鎊.

 

在火車站上廁所意外省下30 p, 因為閘口故障, 工作人員乾脆免費大放送! 哈! 上完廁所洗手的同時跟隔壁的老太太聊天, 她很關心我是否在英國旅行是否有不好的經驗, 還是有人對我這個{外國人}不友善! 我告訴她目前是還不錯, 但是未來誰曉得!

 





<地雷果汁, 我已經分另一半到另一瓶水瓶>

在市區晃到下午一點去TESCO買了一些東西當午餐, 一袋八顆小gala apples, 一小冠玉米粒,一罐柳橙squash 果汁 , 要價2.56英鎊! 其中最大顆的地雷就是那罐果汁, 超級像藥水, 一入喉只想趕緊吐出來. 果然便宜沒好貨! 現在這瓶果汁, 我都是稀釋再稀釋, 一罐大概可以稀釋成六瓶果汁了! 

 

It’s again. What again? Rain, Rain, Rain. I really want to sing “rain, rain, go away….”

I know it’s really British weather. Without rain, Britain won’t look like Britain. Because of jet lag, I didn’t have a good sleep, therefore; I woke up at three o’clock in the morning. I could not even turn the light on because I sleep with a roommate. I had a chit-chat with my friend in Taiwan and searched something until I felt tired and crawled back to bed.  

 

I didn’t have class in the morning so that I decided to go to downtown again because I want to buy rail ticket to Chester on Saturday morning. My host family told me Chester is a great and lovely town to visit because it has Rome historic wall and a lot of cute houses. When I was in railway station, the line is not really long for people to queue. Quite lucky. I spent 24 pounds on discount card which provide a third discount on each ticket and spent 8 pounds for round trip ticket. 



Another lucky thing  I got was that I saved 30 p for using toilet. Because the toll gate was broken so that the staff just let us use WC FREE. After that, I met an old lady, she asked me about traveling in Manchester experience. She worried about me might have bad experience or meet some bad people and it caused me have bad impression. I told her that I have been really lucky to meet nice people. But who knows the future?

 

I bought a bottle of orange juice from TESCO as part of my lunch. However, the fruit must be the worst one that I have ever tasted. I never saw squash juice and I can't imagine  anybody would do such a stupid thing to purt squash into juice. It’s like taking medicine. The first feeling came through my throat caused me want to spill out. My experience taught me one lesson, never buy something too cheap. It means tacky.

 

My classes were in the afternoon, my partner is a boy who did not interested in speaking. Thus, my teacher was afraid that I could not practice a lot. She found I was put in the wrong class because I could easily found the minor or important mistake from my classmates speaking or textbook very easily. After class, we both had a chat about my level. I told her I still have one week class left and I don’t really want to change to another class because I found there are so many handsome boys in this class. Watching them during class is really enjoyable.
