They Call Me Daggie

17th October 2015

 

The plan for this day is to go to Canterbury. We were awake around elven o’clock in the morning. Jarno and I already knew the place, because we’ve been there before with school. The first thing we did was walk to the Subway to eat a sandwich. The shop was in the centre of the town. The Primark was not far away and we decided to go there, because Jarno wanted to buy some sweaters. Then it was time to meet up with a friend. She works at a hostel. Hopefully, I can work there from February until May. It was already two o’clock in the afternoon and the three of us were a bit hungry. Our friend knew a place to eat. It was called Wetherspoon’s. It was really busy. Eventually, we found a place to sit. The most annoying thing in England is that people don’t walk on one side, like we do in The Netherlands. No, they’re walking everywhere. You literately had to zigzag through the people. You also have people that walk really, really slow and then just stop in middle of the path. You can’t walk further and have to ask in a friendly way if you can pass through. Most of the times they just stare at you, as if you speak a foreign language. After the lunch, we walked back to the shopping centre. Our friend left us after an hour and a half, as she had to pick up her parents in a few hours. Jarno wanted to go to Waterstones Bookstore to look for some books in Old English. I only agreed if we could drink a cup of tea and eat a chocolate muffin. It was fine by him. So, we walked to the store. I saw a book named “F in exams”. It is a really funny book to read. It’s about questions from real exams and the students had to give answers on those questions. Some of them were hilarious. You could see that some of them hadn’t studied. I had a laughter attack in the book store. Everyone looked at me and had to laugh as well. There was a Halloween themed event at the Canterbury Tales. You had to walk around with a group and the players told different scary stories about the history of the city.
