There are so many things happened during the trip.

At the first day we arrived in Norwich, the weather was fine. I remembered our bus stopped at the break zone. Inside the shop it was really cold, So I bought a cup of hot coffee. It was latte.

In the afternoon we arrived at our school, which is called English Experience. To my surprise, we do have air conditioner at school. That’s why sometimes it feels very cold inside but too hot outside.

We waited for almost an hour and finally the host families came one by one. Along the way home, nobody said a word at first. Then I read the family name out. And Mr.Owlabi answered as soon as he could. I thought he was a humorous man.

Now I don’t remember what I had for dinner at the first evening.  Anyway, Mr Owlabi, whose name is Joseph, showed my roommate and I the way to school. Apparently neither of us was clear with the way after some time. I went bed earlier that night because of the jet lags.

The first day in Norwich started with a small difficulty. I thought I got on the wrong bus. Luckily I didn’t, and I arrived early than I expected.

The first thing I did after I arrived at school was to check which class I was in. Then I realized that there were only two Chinese in the class, most of the pupils were Spanish and Italian. The lessons were not easy for me. I was really shy at first and didn’t want to talk to others. Luckily, my classmates were all friendly and warm-hearted. We became good friends.

There people have just spent a few weeks with me, but I will remember them for the rest of my life. After all, we are all young and youthful. We have as many possibilities as we can. And I believe we’ll meet again in the future.

Another beautiful thing to remember is “the disco night”. I took a shower right away after school that day and then on the dress. Our hostess, Monica dropped us in front of the meeting point. We were the first two arrived there. That night I didn’t take many photos, but I really had a great time. Though I was quite shy and didn’t know how to dance at first. I gradually became braver and started to follow the beat. The night was really unforgettable.

20 days was so short. Now we’re on the way back. I really miss my friends in England and France and Spain and Italy. I’ll try to keep in touch with them even we will be in the different countries. And I really appreciate the time we spent together in England.
