• Tuesday 25/4: We took the bus for the first time to school and met Richard and 2 of the boys from his class. The rest were “sick”. After 1.5 hours of driving, we ended up in Peek District which was their first national park. During the Second World War they also practiced to throw bombs against demolitions in Germany. We waited 18 km around the lake and when we finally had lunch, it started to snow. When we were back to school at 14:45 I went down town to buy in and raise money. The weather was filled with cities, snow and hail all day long. In the evening I used with them from Estonia and the rest of the class where we played games.

• Wednesday 26/4: We were scheduled to meet at. 8:30 at school but 5 min was delayed as buses in England run as the wind blows. Luckily our teacher was also late, so when she arrived after 10 mins approx. We sat and talked and drank some coffee. Just around at. At 9:00 we drove from school and towards Peek distracted again but in a new area. There was very nice in the area and the view was amazing when we arrived at the Blue John Crystal Mine which is the only one in the world. The mine itself was not the largest but there was very high ceilings. We had a tour along with a class we followed. There were a total of 248 steps down and up again. When we finished the tour we were going home again so we got up at 13:45. The rest of the afternoon went to relax and arrange the internet. In the evening I brought Julie to the pub. (The Talbot) where we ate cob and chips and drank a few beers. In the end, we ended up watching movies on Netflix.

• Thursday 27/4: We started playing in their sports hall. First a little general warming up and after this we should have a circular workout with 8-10 different exercises. After that, we ended up with 10 min basketball. The rest of the day went with different lessons in discipline, jail and other public services. We should have been out in kayak but we were canceled because we did not have a 6 week course … It was both Morten and I very disappointed. In the evening everyone went from Denmark to the talbot to listen to live music but it had been canceled after a while, we continued into the city and found some other cool clubs. Kl. At 23:30, Line, Mette, Mads and myself chose to go home after dancing our feet sore. From downtown to Portland college it cost only 9 pounds. We were the first to go home and after a while, the rest of the flock came but they had gotten apart.

• Friday 28/4: It was only me today. We started at. 9:00 am in the gym with a little game. Here I found out that for exercise and sports, students are self-governing the hours so that they can develop their leadership skills. We stopped at 10:00 am when they had to wait so I had to go to school again at 1:00 pm where we were going to Sherwood Pines with a bunch of students on nieavu 1. Here we should do different collaborative exercises. Again, it was the students who ruled the show. The weather was really nice so it was really nice. The exercises were mostly about football. When we got home at school at 3:00 pm, I gave the hostess to James and said he should give it to the rest of the team. Here Jemas promised to write an email to Kadri that she should contact Morten and me as we still had not heard anything about week 2. For dinner, some of us took Pizza Hot. It was Sarah, Line, Morten, Chrisffor and myself. Afterwards we went to Sainsbury and bought. For example, I bought a Vodka so I could impress the girls from Estonia. When we got home, we met about the London trip. After the meeting, I watched Julie, our movie finished on Netflix.

Day 6 London

• Saturday 29/4: 06:15 am. Called the alarm clock. We were going to drive at 7:00 am. With the same driver who picked us up in Luton when we arrived a week earlier. Then after an hour when everyone was pushed, we all of course had fallen asleep over us. But 7:10 am. And has 3.5 hours drive in front of us. Approx. 11:00 am We stand almost in front of Big Ben, which is actually surprisingly small. Hereafter people dropped into smaller groups. I chose to go with Line, Sisse, Julie and Mads. We started to walk around and look. We found A Soviet store. Then we ended up in Chinatown when we were looking for a tattoo shop for Julie and Sarah. Here we bought some cakes but they were really boring in the taste. After a while we found a certain tattoo shop that we thought only cost 30 pounds from start but it turned out that it was 80 pounds. So we went on and ended up on a street where there were 2-3 different shops. One of the shops had some underwear that the girls would look at. We had talked Danish for a while when one of the staff goes over to us and says in Danish that we just have to say so she will probably help. When we were finished we were looking for a cake store where Julie hoped to become a student. When we finally after 45 min walk, we found it but the boss was of course not.

When he had shown us a shortcut, we said goodbye and he went back the same way, but I decided he should have money to help us. So I ran back and found him. I chose to give him 5 pounds and said thank you for the help. Till that he answered: Do you know what this means for me? No, I said. That means I get food tomorrow. I was completely out of words and got tears in my eyes. It was an incredible encounter with a homeless who hit me in the heart.

Afterwards, we chose to move on to Sainsbury, almost next to, and buy some candy. After a while, we get out again and cross the bus. Unfortunately, we are waiting for a long time and when it finally comes, it’s crowded with people. When we get home to Portland, I get into the room to sleep for a couple of hours, as I am totally outdated after our London trip. After a couple of hours, I’m woken up by Julie who will hear who wants to eat later, as Julie, Sarah and Christoffer have been in Mansfield and become tattooed all day. 07:30 pm Chrisoffer, Mads, Line, Julie and myself go to town to eat and drink a little. Eventually we find a nice place which is half a bar / resturant. Delicious steak and a go beer. Afterwards we buy 2 cans of alcohol and cozy drinks.

Here I came to spend 100 pounds on a fat jacket and some metal music. We end up spending an hour in the center and then head to Sainsbury and buy dinner. From there we just want to go home but the bus only runs once a hour on a holiday obviously so we end up booking a taxi but it only has room for 4 and we have become 5 in between when we ran into one of the girls From Estonia, which had also bought in. So I choose to sacrifice myself and go home on my feet. The trip is about 3 km so it’s not that bad. When I finally get home, I just relax and watch a movie on Netflix with Julie. When it’s done, we put a new blow on and now both Line and Christoffer are in, so we just sit and enjoy the movie until 23:00 and drop here to bed.
