上課了!










It was really cold yesterday and the worst of all was that it rained all day. I had two classes so I had to walk between two buildings and came back to LT for lunch. The shoes became wet very quickly.



But there were two things could comfort me, first, the cross-culture was an interesting class and I really enjoyed it. Second, the phonology was really great even though the teacher was a Russian but it did not matter. She was really brilliant and solved a lot of myths and wrong information when I had taught English in Taiwan. I was quite satisfied the classes. After that, I went to library again because I got the two pages long about cross-culture reading list. As usual a lot of people used the library catalogue system to search the materials so I had to wait for while for using computer. I appreciated that school strictly prohibited students using library computer in another use, such as surfing internet because of that it really save students’ time for waiting.



English is not my native language so I need to pay more attention on study. Preview the reading material is really important.



Besides my study, I want to talk about some food ingredient in UK. The price of eggs in Taiwan has been increasing but it can’t compete with UK eggs. I still remembered the first time I bought eggs was in Aviemore. Six eggs cost me 1.29 pounds. That is 80 NT dollars. Each egg cost 13 NTD. It was scared me and I had to consider I should abandon eating eggs in UK. I could not afford such expensive ingredient. Although, I could find cheaper eggs in Newcastle but the price is still high. Another thing is toilet tissue paper. If you like soft toilet paper, you have to pay at least 2 pounds for 6 rolls. Of course, you could buy cheaper one, but you would find the paper is really thin when you want to use for Mr. Gold. You have to use more than you think. 



PS: 根據網友提供資料, 雞蛋會如此昂貴, 是因為我買的是free-range eggs, 俗稱土雞蛋! 另外有蛋雞所生的雞蛋, caged eggs, 但是我還沒碰到, 那天碰到再來秀一下!
