First week in the megacity

Last Saturday I have arrived here in London. First I was very surprised. Because I’ve never been to a big city like this before. I couldn’t even imagine the size. Not even now. My daily journey takes about 1 hour from Stratford to Finchley Road(see the note below). But one after another. When we arrived here, we had an appointment with someone who shows us a couple of flats. The first he showed us was the dirtiest place I've ever seen. Everywhere hair and dust on ever part of the room. This wasn’t very comfortable. The second one was much better. But there is only one room in the house. So I have to share my room with the couple. This was not what I wanted. So I started to search for solutions to share two rooms without disturbing anyone. But there wasn’t much time to think because school started one day after we arrived in this flat.
The first time we went there we totally went the wrong way. I thought our school is opposite the King’s College. It wasn’t. So we went to south London instead of Northwest. When we recognized that we where half the way there and we had to change the underground etc. When we arrived at the station we had to walk about 30 minutes because we walked around the school not directly towards it. So we were nearly too late. At the second day I thought I knew where to go and which stop or station we have to go. Another mistake. Our journey contains first driving with the bus, get off at Stratford Station, taking the Overground to the station nearby our school and walk or take the bus to the school. I was sure about the way to Stratford Station because we went there twice before. No way. We missed the station and then we didn't even recognize that. Three passed stations I looked out of the window and I saw a store which i never saw before. So we had to walk back and that took us about half an hour. So it was already 9 o’clock. The school starts at 9.15. So we were late again.

But the rest of the week was much less stressful. We’ve got used to the city and it’s size and we are now know the locations where we can buy what we need.
At school we have morning and afternoon lessons. In the morning our teacher is Suzanne. She is small, has curly grey-brown hair and a British accent(I wonder why). She is a funny person and a good teacher. In the afternoon lessons we have Mike. He is one of the best teacher I've ever had before. He is very, very funny and he know how to teach the students. He’s always interested in getting knowledge about other countries and cultures. And his lessons are that kind of lessons you need in the afternoon.
I think it’s enough said today. Next week I will be able to read more than last week, and you definitely will hear more from me.
