The 9th July is a very special day. At least for me. I'm going to London for 3 months. But this won't be just holidays. No I will learn English as much as I can. But if I'm already there this is a good opportunity to explore another country at myself. And I will share this with you as much as I can. I will start with my gained experience with packing my luggage. Just read this story:
The maximum of weight i may take with me is 20 kg(about 40lbs). Although I'm not a woman it is very hard for me because i have to take even an airbed with me. The reason for this is that I am going with two friends in our apartment and there is only one double bed. And these two are a couple. So it's better for me not to sleep in the same room as they do. Back to my airbed. This bed is about 8kg(17lbs). And the rest of my luggage is over 15kg(33lbs). Counted together this would be heavier than it should be. I thought, no problem i will pay a little more for this couple of pounds. But not a chance. The price per 2 pounds are 20 British Pounds. Too much for me. So I had to find another solution. Maybe I could send it by mail, i thought. But how could I send something to myself when I don't even know in what part of the city I will live. When I realized that I phoned the hotline of the mail service in our country. I knew that it would be possible to send something here in Switzerland to a "Pick Post" location. Where I could pick up my packages and stuff. Maybe there is something similar in Great Britain. But...no. There is no service like "Pick Post". BUT it is possible to pick up the package at the post office itself. I just had to find a mail office near my home. Difficult with no address. Finally I choose the Royal Mail office at the Kings Cross Station. I thought if something is called "Kings Cross", then the service around there must be also royal. I hope so... I sent it yesterday and the young lady said that it will arrive next Monday. Let's hope the best.
You see that travelling with a big luggage is not only a problem of women.
So i wish you a good afternoon and hope to see you soon on my blog.
P.S. Here you can watch my luggage now. It had to be pressed very strong.
