I got my online shopping parcels the third week I was here. It is different from china that British does not set up multiple logistics locations. In British, the parcels only 'on the way' and delivered. However, in china, parcels go through multiple transit centers. I think that is the reason why logistics in Britain is much faster than in China.

Also, my friend and I went to the morecambe beach on Friday. It is super far from the university. We were going to watch the sunset. Unfortunately it was cloudy, so we ordered beef and fish and chips at the seaside restaurant. I didn't see the sunset but it was worth it.

The course continues, and hopefully something will come of it.

This is the first week in lancaster and also the first time in England. I was worried about my future life before, but fortunately I met a senior with my friend on our first day. She is very nice to us and showed us around college. Then we also went to the town together for shopping. In addition, citizens are friendly and gentle, they help me when I was in trouble. There is one more thing different from china which is if you want the bus to stop you have to push a ‘stop’ button or the bus will not stop. Because in china, all the buses must stop at every stations no matter whether someone needs them or not. Although English is still a great challenge for me, I believe that I am going to make progress through learning.
