Diary from England Markus M Nielsen
Day one. Sunday
Oh damn, the trip to England has finally come, I am very excited.
We are going to fly for an hour and then sit in a bus for 2 hours, so the clock is around 10 or 11 before we get home, we are staying at Glen and Eileen’s house, it is super gorgeous and very comfy.
Me and my friend tor is very tired after the trip and are going to bed very quick.
Day two. Monday
The first day of the course, I am very excited for how it is going to be, me and tor is being driven to the university by Eileen, when we get there we are met by a nice man named Tudor who is also our tutor, he shows us all the classroom and gives us a little “York care package” with a map over the university, name tags and other informations, later that day he showed us around campus and we saw people smoking at the no smoking sign, people just after my mind, when we got home from uni, me and some friends went out to get a look of the area we are living in, after that, we went to bed.
Day three. Tuesday
The second day of the course was tight (red: slang for super duper awesome)
Tudor had made a very amazing class about teambuilding and working together and he really made people bond and get a bit closer, when the day was over me and some friends went into York town to get some good food, the stupid of us went to pizza hut, and the smarter of us went to subway, (I was one of the smarter ones) when we had finished eating, we went home.
Day four. Wednesday
The third day of the course was very relaxed, we heard a lot of people talking about different stuff both football and economy and stuff about marketing, when we got home we got some very nice food with Glen and Eileen and me and some buddies went to a kiosk to get some snacks, when I got home, I watched the life of pi, wich I had borrowed from Glen and Eileen.

Today we was not going to the uni, instead we went to the city to walk the wall, and visit the yorvik vikingcenter we then had some spare time to do some tasks we had been given by the teachers, it was very nice and we finished a lot already, and the rest will be finished tomorrow
When we where finished we went home, and we was only home for about an hour before we had to go to the university for our end of course reception, we got some nice food, one of my good friends hold a very lovely speech, and me and a buddy had prepared a kahoot for the host families to play, about Danish culture, I would say today was very successful.
Day five. Friday
Today we have been visiting the York cathedral and listening to all the info about how long it takes to clean the class and everything, when we finished at the cathedral, me and some of my friends went out in town to have a look around the city, we visited the city market and went to a café, later in the evening we went to cosmos to eat, we paid 18,85 pound to eat as much as we could and drink as much as we could and one of my good friends ate a little squid, he said It tasted terrible, when it was time to go home me and two friends decided to go home and pack and then go to our friends house and sleep for the night.
