A long, long week...

It's been a long week because Alejandra's been away. Part of her job is to answer all the emails, prepare invoices, arrange accommodation and generally be very nice to everyone. So, this week I've been Alejandra... and that's why I haven't had a chance to write the blog.

Quite a few emails have had the same request ... "I want my accommodation to be as close to the school as possible."

Of course, we don't want to place our students an hour away but.... (there's always a "but").... why AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE?

Surely, when coming to the biggest city in Europe a little travelling is expected. And you're going to be on holiday... so there's no rush (as long as you are not late for class!).

15 minutes on the bus or underground is a great experience. Look at all the faces, eavesdrop on some conversations (good for your English!), read the adverts, finish your homework, daydream, wonder what your friends are doing at home, feel very lucky to be away...

I know that it can be a bit frightening being in such a huge city but London is a gentle place where everyone is accepted.

Enjoy every moment of being here!
