| Just opposite the exit of Temple tube station, there is a fruit stall. Colourful fruits labelled with English price tags are displayed there. At first I could not understand these price tags. You know, in China, the price tag 3 FOR 1'80 may mean one yuan eighty per three jin. But there it means 1 pound eighty for 3 (apples, pears or something else). How interesting it is! We seldom buy or sell fruits like that. Even in some food shops bananas are sold individually. My UK colleagues told me that those fruits are sold to business people for breakfast or lunch. I also learned some new words like tangerine, raspberry, clementine and so on. |
| | It was approaching dusk when I went through Green Park to Buckingham Palace. A child came into my sight who was playing football with his mother. I couldn't help staying to watch the mother and son enjoying themselves. In London it's easy to find green football pitches. Children can play football whenever they want to. That scene touched me so greatly that I couldn't help pressing the shutter of my digital camera. They noticed me taking photos, but they just smiled at me. | |
| | Most days I had lunch at the BBC, but I had to prepare breakfast and supper myself. That wasn't easy for me since I haven't been abroad, away from home, for so long. But on the other hand, it was really a good opportunity to force myself to work everything out by myself. In the morning I made sandwiches with apple and beef. I had a real sense of achievement when eating the sandwich with a cup of hot milk. In the evening sometimes I cooked dumplings bought from China Town or just had instant noodles for a simple supper. |
