The house and its occupants

Many friends of mine don't like living with other people or people they don't know.  I don't mind as long as they are good individuals. I've always lived with someone else when I am out of town. This time I found a room in a house of a big family.  The household includes a couple, their 3 kids aged 15, 17, and 21, as well as 2 lodgers... Oh yeah, and I forgot the dog!

At first, I hesitated because that really sounded like a zoo to me! I was scared of not having my own space and was afraid of having to fight over the bathroom, but I was so desperate with the whole apartment hunting situation that I just went for it.

When I arrived, I was welcomed by the family with opened arms. As soon as I stepped into the house, I mouth dropped! The house looks tiny, but it is actually humongous! On the first floor, there are the living room, the kitchen, a separate toilet, and a bedroom. On the second floor, there are 3 bedrooms, the office, shower room, and separate toilet. The last floor, which is my floor, 4 bedrooms and a toilet are on that one. It's CRAZY BIG from what it looks from the outside!


My bedroom is not big, but it has all of what I need... bed, drawers, shelf, AND a sink! It might sound ridiculous to you, but having a sink in the bedroom is amazing! I am not bothering anyone in the morning, I don't have to worry of people waiting to brush their teeth, AND I know my own sink is clean (Those who know me well know that I am a clean freak... hehehe)

I know, I know... You're probably all saying that 435GBP (715$) is too much for this little place, but rents are really expensive in the UK. BUT I am lucky because this one also includes food in it! I also have to mention that the landlady and landlord cook for me EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! They are really nice and sweet! I am so NOOOT complaining! WOOT WOOT! :D

** I am so spoiled hahahah...



Oh well, that's it for tonight. Come back soon! XOX

Where can you find me?

Ok, so let's alternate the language a little bit... just to piss some pro-101bill people off! HAHA... (ok, laughing at my own joke!)

I am actually living in a little town called Worthing, which is located in the coastal area. If you look at the map of England, put your finger on London, slide your finger all the way to the South, find Brighton, and I live about 25 minutes west by train from there.

If you land in Heathrow International Airport of London, it will take you about 2 and half hours of underground (which is similar to our metro) and train. You will have to change trains twice. Trust me you DO NOT want to bring 2 big-heavy-23kg luggage plus a full backpack. However, if you do, then you will encounter really nice people... uh humm... usually men, who will be happy to help you... if you are a lady, of course! :p If you get lost (me-me-me), DO ask people for directions. English people are actually really nice. They are not mean or racist as you all think!

If you have another route, I cannot help you because I don't know any other ones :D

I am looking forward to having a cup of tea in the UK with you all!

Cheers! (Oh, I am using their vocab already... They say cheers instead of bye!)
Oops... I made a mistake: that actually means 'Thanks'

Un petit message à ma famille et mes amis!

Salut tout le monde!

Après mon expérience en Suisse, j'ai réalisé qu'il n'y a aucun souvenir que j'ai gardé entre mes mains, mais que des histoires que j'ai gardé dans mon coeur. A bien y penser, j'aurais voulu partager avec vous ces beaux moments de mon vécu à l'étranger. 

J'ai donc decidé de créer ce bloque pour que je puisse éventuellement remémorer ces expériences et pour que vous puissiez avoir un mise à jour de ma vie ;)  Je vous invite alors à suivre mes pas durant mon séjour en Angleterre. Je ne sais pas si je vais être consistante dans mes écrits, mais je vais faire mon possible.  

Je vous embrasse fort... Et à bientôt!

Annie
