Today was a day of getting acquainted with our surroundings. First we had a meeting where we heard from school staff members about the ground rules and programs here at the Study Center. Then we met with the two officers pictured above, who introduced themselves as Fred and Ebiye. They gave us some tips on how to stay safe. Even though London is one of the safest cities in the world, we still need to watch out for pickpockets and ATM scams. Later in the afternoon we had a walking tour of the area to learn about all the best restaurants. We're only a block away from the British Museum. The building we're staying in, the London Study Center for FSU, is 300 years old, and there is supposed to be a ghost here somewhere on the premises. Our flat has two bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, and two baths, and is on two floors. We have a library, three computer labs, a lecture hall, classrooms, and all of London to explore.

Everything you mentioned sounds great EXCEPT for the ghost. : (
ReplyDeleteIf you meet the ghost, tell it about Inez. Maybe they know each other. I will look up the British Museum on a map of London to try and figure out about where you are. I am still very excited for you. I hope you took some patches for Fred and Ebiye. Your flat sounds great. Take lots of pictures. I'll see most when you get back.

Unfortunately, the day I went to see Teresa to try and get patches, the last day I worked, she was out. So, no, I didn't get patches, but by chasing them down the corridor, I was able to get their picture.
