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.
