A pain in the 'glASS'

Yesterday, when I was in the coach coming to the school, like every morning, I grabbed a newspaper (Metro) to read the recent news about England and, in some cases, the world.

While I was reading, a story caught my attention because it was about a girl of 29 years old that is suing her landlords because four years ago when she rented a flat with some of her friends to celebrate her 22nd. birthday, under the effects of alcohol, she opened a window and step out into the roof of the neighbourhoods and start to dance In a skylight, of course that the skylight broke and she went down and hit her head.

Now, is suing her landlords because THEY DIDN'T TELL HER THAT SHE CAN'T DANCE IN THE ROOF WHILE SHE WAS DRINKING! Come on! Jajajaja.

In the newspaper of today, I was reading some e-mails from people around England asking if it was true or it was a joke, and maybe this girl should sue also the beer company for not telling her that alcohol could cause impaired vision, loss of balance and a desire to dance on the roof of a house jajajaja.

Another person is asking for the phone numer of her lawyer, because when she read the story she set on fire the newspaper and tried to eat it. Now she wants to sue The Metro because it didn't say anywhere to not set in fire the newspaper and eat it (of course is a joke).

I never tought that my eyes would see this, it's very funny... and scary jajajaja.

P.S. The name of the girl is Anna Mayers!

Rome: la Città Eterna

Rome, Rome, Rome!

Rome, Caput mundi ("capital of the world"), la Città Eterna ("the Eternal City"), Limen Apostolorum ("threshold of the Apostles"), la città dei sette colli ("the city of the seven hills") or simply l'Urbe ("the City").

I have to say that Rome is wasn´t what I expected... is even better! I took two different tours: One for the antique Rome and another for the Vatican City, both were amazing, the guide tour explain us everything very well and with many details.

Now I´m more exciting in knowing so much things about the Roman history, because in every stone, and in every antique esculture there´s something behind.

Lond ON!

Last saturday I went to London, and It was A M A Z I N G !

I took a tour with the BIG BUS COMPANY, which has different coaches and routes, and they took me all around London for only 20 pounds! For me it was very cheap.

I had the chance to see the Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, MISTER Big Ben, Madame Tussaud's museum and a lot more!

I think that the most exciting part of my trip was when I've had the chance to walk through the streets where Sherlock Holmes investigates many crimes, or by the other hand, the streets where Jack The Ripper killed... little creepy uh? Yeap, but I liked all the misterious things.

The sad thing is that London is very expensive, that's why I couln't stay any longer, because I would had to pay for a hostel and maybe a taxi and other stuff, and I didn't have so much money... but It was OK, maybe some other time when I got more money, until then... CYA LONDON!

P.S. Next weekend: ROME!

Living in Manchesta!

The first tought that I have when I decided to came and study English to Manchester was: "I think that in Manchester won't be too many mexicans, not even 'latinos' because it's too far from home"... that's was my first mistake! I don't know why, but it seems that everybody of Latinamerica is here! Sometimes is very cool to have someone to speak in your own language, but the main idea to came here was to speak, hear and think in English... anyway.

My second mistake was that I tought that England was cheap... NOT! But at least when I go back to my country, which is Mexico by the way (if you haven't notice), I know that I will start to appreciate my money a lot!

Irish Luck!

When I first arrive here, I had the opportunity to go to Dublin, the capital of Ireland, and I have to say that is a beautiful city.

I couln't take pictures of my trip because, at somepoint of my trip my camera was stolen... It was a very sad thing (Irish luck uh? Yeah, right jaja), but I've already buy a new one here in Manchester, which was very expensive, by the way.

Anyway, it was my first trip in Europe and it was really cool.

EF Student

I made this blog so I can practice my English while I'm studying in Manchester at EF International Language School... and to tell a little bit of the trips that I had the opportunity to made.
