I have been for 14 weeks in England. 2 weeks in Bournemouth, where I have attended an Intensive English Language Course and a Hotel and Catering Operations Course at "English 2000 School of English" and 12 weeks in Sandown (I.O.W.) where I have had my Work Esperience at the Broadway Park Hotel as a waiter.

Part 1 - BOURNEMOUTH 3-16 August 2003

I have spent these 2 weeks living in the Mrs Ayling house, together with other 8 students, sharing the room with a boy from Norway and one from Germany; then there were 6 girls. Moreover the housekeepers: Mrs Ayling and husband, 2 lively kids, 1 dog,  rabbits and chickens. But only one toilet and two showers available. Better not to talk about the food.

  On the beach         Evening in the pub

Bournemouth is a lovely city, warm, sunny and crowd of tourists. After the morning school I enjoyed going on the beach. The night-life is also very nice, the two best discos are "The Elements" and "The Opera House" (in Boscombe). At the lesson I founded very nice friends, and we have had great time together.

My best friends there were Pragass (Norway), Ina (Norway) and Johanna (Sweden).
We used to go clubbing together, dancing all the night long...

...with some friends I went to Salisbury and the stone circle of Stonehenge.

These two weeks ran very fast and at the end I was ready to start working at the hotel.
