Hey,
So we landed in Gatwick yesterday morning after a quick flight. As we took off from Pearson there was a wicked lightning storm not far off in the distance that looked incredible from our height in the sky. I have some pictures that I will post a little later on of the storm, us on the plane etc. when I get a little more time.
We don't have internet access in our flat, or cell plans yet either so I may not be able to communicate frequently until those things are set up. Luckily we have great flat mates in the flat below ours, and they have brought us to a 24 hour computer lab on campus and logged us onto the internet. They also showed us around alittle bit yesterday and took us to the bar where we met a few of their friends, shot some pool and had a beer.
Things are definately different over here so far but its neat seeing how people in another area of the world do every day tasks and live their lives. Its on thing to see it on the internet, or read about it, then it is to actually live in the other envirnment. We have only been here for less then 24 hours and the number of differences is just crazy.
Today we plan to go get bedding, some additional cleaning supplies, groceries, and hopefully set up a student bank account so that we can get our cell phones and internet in our flat set up.
So far the experience has been great, I only imagine it will get better and better as we get more and more accustomed to our envirnment and meet new people.
Regards,
Kyle
