First English day: Immersion in the town // Saturday 20th June
--------------------------------------------------------
It's great weather! And will be all the week, it's better than in the Northern of France.
My first day begins at 7 o'clock, I'm going to run and visit Cosham in the same times but I'm worried to lose me so I'm running always in front of me. Unfortunately, I haven't ran for a long times. Consequently, I run until the big building Raymarine and come back for a fresh shower. When I arrive at home near 7:45, nobody is woken. So, I try to don't make noise by taking my shower. It's weird; they have an electronic device in order to manage the water (temperature and pressure) and a extrator which works when the light shine. Next step, the breakfast: Keith and Karen advice me to eat toast bread with butter or jam and tea.
I do the good boy by tasting, nothing exceptional. Except, I haven't got the custom to take my breakfast by watching 4Music and chatting with my cousin.
It's 9 o'clock and my host family is woken, they really eat quickly, I'm impressed. Keith proposes me to show me the stop for the bus, but he doesn't remember very well all the bus that I can take because he has never got on the bus. I'm lucky due to a woman tells me that if I want to go to The Hard I can get on either the line 5 or 41 and also for the comeback except my final stop will be Cosham Health Center. I go to First's office in order to take the timetables of my bus because not only don't I see information on the stop but I also have to come back home between 6 and 7 o'clock pm for the dinner with only Keith because Karen works this evening.
It's already the times of take the bus, it arrives at good hour: 17:40 and arrives to Cosham Health Center at 18:10. It seems perfect but I have always trouble, this time is that I get off at the wrong stop. I remembered of a big blue bridge where I will have to cross because there isn't pedestrian way. I hurry to leave the bus and I take conscience that it was the stop Hilsea just before mine. I'm used to make mistakes like that so I'm not angry. Given that, it must be close and I have my GPS in case of problem. Unfortunately, it doesn't have signal, so I follow my instinct by walking in direction of Cosham. It's great; there is a good signalization for pedestrians and bicycles.
Mission succeeded, I'm at home and it's 18:30. Keith is checking his emails, even if he doesn't very like computer, he thinks that it's useful but so complicated. He shows me the send email to my friend Jeremy in order to know where I was, and why I didn't call them. I'm impressed; they were very worried for me yesterday. During this time, Jeremy has succeeded to find the phone number of my mother and has asked her the reason of my being late. Fortunately, my cousin has talked with my mother so she wasn't worried anymore.
I explain to Keith how use MSN MESSENGER but I download him a new version in order to show him the new function like video conversation or called computer. During the installation, Keith cooks us noodles with fried chickens and sweet & sour. I tell him that I like meals which are half sweet half salt. He answers me that he likes easy meals to cook.
We eat in the kitchen, no…sorry, I eat in the kitchen…because Keith is SO fast that I can follow him. I who believed that I ate quickly; I'm a compared to Keith. My mother the slowest in my family, will be dead suffocating. After this show, we have a long discussion about the food and customs by drinking a cup of tea.
Karen has come back, so we go to the sitting room watch the BIG box in HD. I show them my presents for my family and they are surprised that I have already bought it. I explain that I'm used to buy it at the beginning because like that not only do I have the money, but I'm not worried to forget or not find better. It's early, we watch a documentary on BBC about dinosaurs whilest drinking other tea. After the reports, at 22:00 Keith and Karen go to sleep by taking with them a glass of banana milk.
