Here in Plymouth

It is wednesday, I just got out off work. In sunday me and Kristiina walked to the city centre and back. In monday Judith took us to city business park in Almond's office. There we met Petra and Gabby. After brief chit chat Gabby took us to see Plymout city, the Hoe and barbican. Then we had a lunch break. After lunch break we firt visited Kristiinas working place and then mine. In Oxfam my supervisor weren't even bothered to come and meet me as Gabby and my boss Lesley had planned. Though Lesley weren't there, other lady called Pat gave me tour around 3-floor-shop. Tuesday, yesterday, was my first real day in Oxfam. Yesterday I was just upstairs with Fabiola doing online selling. Today I was in shop floor soing customer service and organizing things. 

Plymouth Hoe

Barbican 

This city is so much bigger from what I thought it would be. I think people are polite and nice and over all much more out going comparing to Finland. Here it is normal after work or school to go pub and see friends there. Pubs and cafees are really popular and busy all day long. 

Hot chocolate at Costa Coffee

Me and Kristiina ate lunch in monday at Jake's

 We have a lovely park next to our acommodation: Center Park.

Arrival to Plymouth

My alarm clock started ringing at 3.30 and trip to Helsinki-Vantaa started about 5 o'clock. My boyfriend dropped me off to station where we met with Kristiina.

Flight went fine, then we arrived at Gatwick where first problem appeared: where was Rikhard :D Well, eventually we found each other and continued travelling by train towards Plymouth. We had one switch at reading station and honestly, it was a bore after 3 hours flight to sit in a train another 4 and a half hours. And we had to pay about 97 euros from the train tickets! Gosh..

We arrived at Plymouth station where we met Petra from Almond vocational link and our host Judith. From there we continued with Judith to our accomodation.

In back there's a little secret garden.

We didn't expect here to be other exchange students/girls but there are. One girl is from France and one from Spain and one from Ghana. Atmosphere is international in here :D

Now me and Kristiina are just chilling, earlier we stopped by near supermarket Morrison's and bought some night snacks. 

Laying in bed.

Believe it or not, here's palm trees all over 🌴
