Getting to work from our accommodation is a rather short 20 to 30 minute walk. The Company where my internship takes place is a small and private one, the atmosphere there is really good. Even the way to work is really great if you look at some of the old buildings.

First real school lessons
Today we started the day with a delicious breakfast. Afterwards we went directly out to the bus station and we got very fast into the bus.
A
ll normal so far. When we were 1km near our school the cars stopped and
we stuck into a big traffic jam. First we waited a bit but then we saw nothing moving anymore, so we left the bus and went by foot to school. Luckily we still arrived in time (close, but still in time).
First Work Day
Today we just had our first work day. The started as usual with a breakfast, after that we just went out to find the bus stop, it wasn´t that hard to find it but still its very different to germany. We just arrived 40 minutes early at work because we wern´t sure about the time we need. We got introduced to everyone and got a little instruction in to the company. Right after that we just got our first task. The day was over quiet fast. After that long an exhausting day we just went home. We spend the rest of the evening with Andy and Florian watching a movie.
The Start of a new Week

The first days in London

How good is your English?
Today we went at 9 o‘clock to our Agency which is in the same time a school. We started immediately with an English test. During the test they also did questions to test our speaking skills.
After all students were finished we got a little break. At this time they checked our tests, and they were able to sort us in two school classes.
After all this we played a game called Articulate, sounds really easy but it isn’t. First of all the playing cards were full of very typical British words which are very hard for us. Also doing all this in a different language than German is somehow hard in my opinion.
Welcome to Twin
Today we had our first day at our agency’s location itself. The meeting point was a classroom which had been reserved for us today. Firstly, we filled a table writing down our host address details for them to compare. Next, we filled our student card ourselves. We were given an introduction test. The first task was to fill one blank of thirty to fourty sentences. Creative writing about one of three given topics was the next task. „Welcome to Twin“ weiterlesen
Introduction meeting with the agency
Today we had our first meeting with the agency. We were told which duties we have in our accommodation and how to behave. We were also told how to behave in case of illness. Furthermore they told us something about the city. Afterwards we were guided through the city centre. We were then said goodbye there and were able to walk around on our own. From the city center we needed about 20 minutes to walk to our accommodation.
The first few days in London
Arriving on Saturday my roommate and I settled in for a bit, talking to the host family and clearing up most of our questions.
Soon after we met up with two other students of the group and had lunch, me fish and chips and the rest got burgers.

Start of the first week
Belfast – Meeting with Intern Europe
Today we were invited to a meeting with Intern Europe at their office. Purpose of this meeting was to fill out some missing information on some documents, and to give us some information on the first day at our companies.
Furthermore an employee walked us to the city centre and helped us getting our tickets for the bus. I also were able to pick up some souvenirs there.
From this point on we discovered the city centre a bit more and we did some grocery shopping for the evening.
