England

Assalamualaikum~

I just came back from an exchange student trip yesterday.. It was 12 hours of flight to Singapore and transit for 3 hour before departure to Malaysia. I arrived about 2.30pm in Malaysia. My family already waited for me. It was a great trip!

I learned a lot and i will never forget all the days and the lovely moment at Ramsgate. BTW, Ramsgate is actually a place nearby the border between England and France. We can see France on the way walked to school.

I was surrounded by rich people. I felt so humble until i stayed away from them. I got 2 new friends. I mean close friends. Its Huda and Lyana. Huda is the shy person while Lyana is so opposite of Huda.

I made other friends too but we didn't talked a lot. At least we smiled at each other.

BTW, the first day we walked around Ramsgate town and complete a mission. Taking pictures and ask people about England. I ran a lot to get the answers. And i saw a lot of hot guys, we Malaysian said, "panas" or "hangus" when we saw any cute guys. LOL

Then we had dinner with our foster family. This is my foster family:



The father cook while the mum works. Hurm, but he is the best cooker! We ate rich, pasta and many western dishes but most of it contain vegetables. Cause i can't eat meat there. They are not properly slaughter.

The nect day we went to the Dover Castle and learn about it. It was raining heavily and i get wet but lucky my coat and head were water resister.



On saturday we visit London. And shop there. On Sunday we walked inside Oxford and we also entered the Christ Collage to see Harry Pother's dining hall. Its a beautiful city. There are lots of history about that place but i only remember one.

Its about a king that died and have an evil wife. The wife want that kingdom to change their religion but 3 person objected. The queen tortured them then burn while they are still alive. The burning place was not cement.



Then we walked through Oxford street. I bough some souvenirs.

Monday school as usual but we went Westwood for shopping. It was a developing shopping centre. Most of the shops in Ramsgate move to Westsood. It was 30 minutes drive from Ramsgate. There was the biggest Primark in Southern Europe. We almost left a girl behind. But we didn't.

The next day, after school we went to the Canterbury Cathedral. A little history about it.

The King of Henry the Second and Thomas the church's priest were best friend. But the kind started to jealous because Thomas was gaining more power then him so he asked the knights to killed him and will be rewarded. The church people knew about it and lock the church but Thomas asked them to open it because everyone was free to enter the church. Unwillingly they reopen the church and the knights came and killed him. They killed him while he was kneeling and praying. They cut Thomas's head.

The king felt bad so he walked bare foot from Dover Castle while was about 35 minutes drive from Ramsgate, to the church and asked the church people beat him as the punishment of Thomas's dead. He was beaten about 50 times, i think.

It was names as Canterbury Cathedral because since Thomas's dead, magic things started to happen. One of it, o blind woman can see after she put cloth which had Thomas's blood on her eyes. People started to visit the place.

A place with a cathedral is called as city while without it are towns or villages.

The last day we walked around Ramsgate again. Some of us went to Westwood.

I said, goodbye and have a nice day after stopped by most of the shops.

Then the next day the taxi arrived while i was having my last breakfast with my foster family. We said our last goodbyes and gave last hugs.

12 hours flight back to singapore and about 1 hour flight back to Malaysia with 3 hours transit.

After my family picked me from KLIA, we went to fetch my brothers. We had our dinner at AKEA. Then went back home.

That's was my journey. More updates in Twitter.
