moriko's blog: Dinwiddy house

I was so exhausted today, but thanks to my host parents and new Japanese friends, I managed to finish safe my moving to the accommodation in London! I could enjoy seeing London streets, roads and buildings from a car window. I think it is precious experience for me because I was supposed not to get on a car in London. When I arrived in London, I suddenly had a strange feeling. It's difficult to explain. However, on streets and at Dinwiddy House I saw people in different ethnic backgrounds, different language and clothes. In that time, I could find the meaning "London is cosmopolitan city".
To my big surprise, I am so relaxed and optimistic about living in London.
(Totally thanks to my host parents)
I am confident, so I am sure I can act positively here.

I took some photos today.

Dinwiddy House
There are some flats from A to F. And each flat has some floors. Each floor is separated to two blocks. Each block has a kichen, 5-7 student rooms. If you have nice flatmates and perfect room, you are so lucky. I've had no chance to meet flatmates yet until now... but in this domitory, so many Japanese students...

Busy street near Dinwiddy House. We can see Kings Cross station in the back in this picture. From this station, I can go to Brussel and Paris, and of course anywhere in London.

Kind Japanese friend took me to the Tottenham Court, where is what you call Akihabara in London. There are many electronic shops. We went to Argos, where I bought beddings, a hair dryer, a kettle. The order system is very unique. At first, I search for the products I need online or by a catalog, and write the numbers connected with the products. Then I bring the paper to the counter. After 10 minutes, I can get the products. However, I hate this shopping way. I feel it is time wasting and tireness, and also I cannot enjoy shopping by seeing many products!
