♠艾瑞克隨處溜躂．蒲公英隨心飄逸♠

I have two major courses by Tim today.

When I finish today's class. I am go to city enter with my friend to buy my weekly bus card as soon as possible.

I had waste money for three days to buy everyday's bus tickets which are spend me 7.4 pounds totally.

It's too bad!!!!

We go to shopping, there are many kind of stores in city center. That's cool!!

I got the first class which is lecture at 11:45. In this class we have a topical subject about history of Manchester.

I think this subject is not a light subject. Manchester is an industrialized country.

There are many children must to work when they was young and work in the mill have some dangerous elements which are you can't control or avoid.

We have a workshop with partners to discuss some questions that be  given by teacher.

There are three members in my group, including I, my friend and a teacher which is from Spain. 

I think her accent of English is very clear to me instead iof my roommate who is spanish that I can't understand what does he wants to say.

In afternoon,  have iLab course which is use computer to surf on the Internet.

And I collect some information about how to go to London from Manchestere by self.

Maybe I don't know how to gather the information that I think the information is very deficient for me.

Today is a relaxed day!!!!

I have to go to school to take the timetable of course.

On the way to school I walk 10 minutes to high street and take bus NO.157 to school.

It's the first day I take bus by myself, so I'm a little bit nervous. Because in Manchester, when you take bus, you must say which bus stop  you will get off in addition to I'm not really sure when do I should press stooping ring.

So I have a help from coach driver. "Can you call me when the bus stop is arriving?"

The driver are very kind and warmhearted in Manchester. When I arrive school and obtain my time table which is awful with class schedule.

I have the first class at 11:45, but the place where I am is "school". So I still have to wait 3 hours to get my first class. Because this reason, I go to Sainsbary's which is a chain of supermarket with my friends.

It's a large super market with variety of merchandise.

When we finish the first class, and then we  go to SubWay for our lunch.

The time is very tight to us because there still have 2 classes in afternoon.

Today is a busy day and we must adapt to our own class schedule!!!!

In the morning, I get up early on 6:30 and eat my first breakfast in home's family.

I eat two piece of toast with water because we are waiting for someone who is our roommate.

So we quite late to bus stop.

Fortunately, when we arrive school, we still have 10 more minutes.

Because we are the first time to this language school, so we have to take testing that can know our level.

When testing is finished, the school director introduce EF school to us and their staff in the school.

In the afternoon, we have a tour to city center of Manchester.

On the way to city encter, we have pass through the University of Manchester.

It's a really big university. city center is a shopping paradise. There are many different things in the city center.

Maybe we will go back to there to shopping again because it's too big to can not pass through overall.

When we arrive Manchester.

We have to leave airport, so we take our passport on hand and waiting for calling to get the qualification for entering Manchester's customs.

The travel guide is an old woman but she is very attentive to do this job.

She just like our grandmom and very warmhearted to introduce every scenic spots even if sometimes we can't understand what she said.

Today is a full schedule day. We pass through the village from Manchester airport by coach. There are many animals in the grasslands, like sheep, horses, poultry and cows.

In fact, the village path is very crooked, so I got a car-sick when I sit on the coach.

And then we visit a big land with some special structure, but it have to spend 9 pounds if you want to go inside, finally we give up to enter because too expensive.

So we to take a walk around this field and take some pictures.

We eat lunch at restaurant which is subsidiary organization. I think the food is very delicious but quantity is too big.

Theacher says maybe I would order a cup of tea and a piece of cake or any dessert. It's a traditional food in England be called "an afternoon tea".

When the tour in the village is finished. We take coach go to EF language school that to wait for taxi which will take us to our homestay.

Because our car have 6 people must to send and each person live in the different home's family, so when I arrive at home, the time is near 8:00 PM.

There are much people in our accomodation almostly 9 persons.

On the begining I\m very worry about the environment which is I can't to get with it. Because there are many different nationality in accomodation.

So I don't understand and not really sure what are they saying. The roommate has korean, indian, chinese and spanish.

But I feel better that I try to communicate with them time after time.

If you don't understand what they say, you just to say "Pardon" or "Can you reapeat again?"

Be sure to do this , if you feel embarrasing and the other side will, too.

That's the real experience happend on me. I'm so tired because today's full schedule.

So I take a shower on 10 o'clock an d go to bed immediately.



Today is a nice and new day!!!! 

I will leaving for Manchester today, dad and mom give me a ride to Taoyan National Airport.

I'm so excited to have this chance to go abroad because it's my first time to take aircraft, so I'm a little bit of nervousness.

It's time to say goodbye to dad and mom for enter the customs.

The aircraft's journey last about 18 hours. It's difficult to accept to sit on the seat and must fasten the seat belt frequently for me.

There are some very interesting movies, audios and games to choose by ourselves.

Including "One Million Star", "Project Runway".... all of these resource you can take.

It's a good way to spend the time on the aircraft.

如題～

我要出發來去英國曼徹斯特了

希望這趟遊學之旅充實　愉快　最重要的是大聲講英文！！！！

在英國的36我會每天都寫篇日記的～

大家請保重！　我也會好好Take care myself！^_^

只有「能者多勞」

這四字　才能讓我的心裡能夠舒適一些

雖然　我真的覺得做得很無力　畢竟我覺得有做跟沒做是一樣的

因為　身邊的人都不會好好配合

或許　我不應該回到這裡　

也許　我已經習慣了一個人的生活

但是　我不幫忙的話　生活環境應該是髒亂到不行　可能會達到環境造成生病的地步

所以　只要大腦產生怨嘆感

我就在心中默唸這四個字　心中會舒坦許多

畢竟　我也是有這樣的責任　生下來　應該就是有這樣的使命吧！

回台南市區的車程上　騎不到一半就開始下雨　真的淋成落湯雞了

想不到從六甲到台南也要這麼久　囧

到表弟住的公寓先放好行李

過沒多久　表弟的外國室友回來了

第一次和外國朋友Say Hi 感覺很緊張　= =+

接著和表弟一起再度騎車出門去覓食

原本我想去的花園夜市今天沒開　而且和表弟住的地方也有一段距離了

真的是太可惜了　而且還浪費了Gasoline

於是又往回騎　繞一繞台南市區　表弟邊介紹一下有名的地方小吃

接著選定了「劉家肉粽」一顆NT30　還不錯吃喔！　甜甜的醬搭配QQ米粒的肉粽是絕配～

接著去看看五妃街旁的杏仁豆腐冰還有沒有營業　結論是已經休息了　囧

不放棄的接著去體育路上的另一家　但為啥有兩家　囧

根本搞不清楚哪一家才是我在網路食記上所記載的店家　所以就隨便選了一家來吃了

杏仁豆腐果然有濃濃的杏仁味　一盤NT20　但我覺得沒有達到讓我驚訝的地步！

由於真的太飽了　所以就打道回府

在路上剛好看到影城　所以打算今天要約外國朋友一起去看「無敵浩克」

我只能說台南的夜生活真的是很繁華　一堆店家都是開24Hours

古色古香的都市　真不錯！

無敵浩克劇情很不錯　而且在電影中還穿插了一些讓人會心一笑的情節

麗芙泰勒也很正啊　囧

和外國朋友對話真的很不自然耶我　希望能夠快點適應　不然去英國之後要怎麼辦啊　囧

看完電影已經是凌晨2點　和表弟到7-11去拿外國朋友訂的書

停好機車之際　有一位騎著機車的阿姨跟著停下來　問我們有沒有吃宵夜了

我們還以為她是騎著機車在賣宵夜　囧

後來是她想問我們有沒有吃過了　不然她還有賣剩的章魚燒可以送給我們吃

天啊！我可是第一次遇到這樣的好康事　竟然不用花錢就有宵夜可以吃

這位阿姨真是太好了　而且一次給我們四盒　希望她生意多多多！！


回到表弟家洗完澡就快睡著了　真的是睡著了　= =

隔天一早起來就聽到落大雨的聲音　又在下雨了　囧

早餐放棄　睡到快10點還是在下雨　憑著我們不放棄的精神　我們還是騎著車衝去吃台南小吃

先到食記上查到的兩角銀買冬瓜茶來喝　接著撐著傘去參觀「赤崁樓」

台南小吃街

「永樂燒肉飯」、「碗粿」、「魚羮」、「春捲」

第一次吃燒肉飯　也是第一次吃到有附生菜沙拉的燒肉飯

第一次吃到咖啡色的碗粿　也是第一次吃到用非常Special工具進食的碗粿

喔！　真的吃得太飽了～

接著去和欣客運買要坐回板橋的車票　NT600

真是貴到嚇死人　第一次從台南回到板橋的我的精神寫照！

坐台鐵從台南到板橋也要　NT727

好貴啊　囧

由於距離坐車時間12點40分還有一段時間　所以自以為時間很夠的慢慢整理行李

想不到時間迅速的飛過　趕客運快要來不及了　還好表弟飆車技術好　不然真的要趕不上客運了！

在客運上看影片「恐怖拜訪」、「惡爸臨門」覺得前者還蠻好看的　不會太噁心的外星生物來訪片子


P.S.感謝表弟這麼辛苦的帶我探訪「台南」這個古都！

早上快8點起床　盥洗完畢後　早餐阿嬤已經準備好了

阿嬤透早就到六甲市區去買了【大麵】、【粿仔條】、【羮湯】

又是一頓豐富的早餐　阿嬤在我們享用早餐之際就先到鄉公所那去做身體的例行性檢查

我只能說台南的傳統羮湯真的都甜死人不償命　甜甜的滋味　還真是不太習慣啊!

不過喝了一、兩碗之後逐漸覺得怎麼這麼涮嘴　一直喝喝喝喝　囧

收看電視、準備法文考試、聽MP3音樂樣樣來

其實法文還蠻好準備的嘛! 老師真的很會放水喔~ 但她都不教音標真的很讓我困擾

時間滴答滴答的過去　因為表弟又睡回籠覺　我只能Lonely的看著書

心裏不免擔心的一直想著阿嬤怎麼從7點40分出門一直到現在快11點了還沒回來啊!?

出去散步邊看看有沒有阿嬤走回來的身影　終於在第二次的時候剛好遇到了阿嬤了

原來是早上一窩蜂的人群都在排隊等著做身體健康檢查，所以阿嬤等了很久才終於做完檢查~

而且阿嬤一直喊著肚子餓死了　哈!因為需要做檢查的緣故，從昨天10點開始就不能進食

所以阿嬤到了11點連早餐都還沒吃呢!

阿嬤吃著早餐　一直唸著檢查的人超多的　等到很累，緊接著　阿嬤說有朋友拿『樹籽仔』來給她做成成品

所以就叫我和表弟一直幫忙撥樹籽仔

撥樹籽仔還真的是需要很大的耐心　坐著小板凳　一邊撥著樹籽仔　時間久了失去耐性就很想放棄~

一開始撥的時候真的很不順手　撥一顆就要很多秒的時間　囧

不過　之後就慢慢熟練了啦!　我的功力遜色於表弟　他整個撥得很快

一面撥著樹籽仔　阿嬤又一面的訴說著以前所發生的有趣事情　整個很好笑！

只不過　撥到了12點半都還沒撥完　阿嬤因為怕我們挨餓就先去準備第二頓中餐了

而我和表弟當然就繼續撥囉！　我們兩個直嚷嚷著要撥到天昏地暗都撥不完了

而午餐也煮好了　阿嬤連忙叫我們趕快先去吃　剩下一點就交給他撥

吃完午餐後　休息一下就準備開始製作所謂的『樹籽仔』了

之前看到的樹籽仔都是已經製作完成的完成品　壓根不知道它為啥會長這樣!

經過今天的洗禮之後　我們真的是瞭解到樹籽仔的製程，真的是費工又耗時~

而且我和表弟還幫忙一起參與了製作的過程，以前我根本都不會想吃它　不過今天阿嬤一直叫我們幫他試試味道

吃一吃感覺還蠻好吃的一直停不了　試了好多次都快飽了

總共做了30顆樹籽仔　阿嬤好像很驚訝為什麼能做到這麼多顆

因為表弟明天要和同學討論報告　所以今天晚上就要離開阿嬤家去表弟那住一晚

第三頓晚餐充分的充飽大大的肚子

阿嬤拿了做涼拌竹筍的筍子給我們、自製的肉粽數粒、晚餐剩下的肉捲和花枝丸

離開了阿嬤家　阿嬤　台北再見囉!!　^_^

下次還有時間的話會再回台南六甲鄉玩的~

這次回來　雨一直下不停　都不能出去騎腳踏車　囧

雖然如此　但別有一番下雨的氣氛所在囉!
