Last day of August, only 11 days left! My last couple weekends are so full with lunch and dinner plans. It was kind difficult to arrange the time ;-) see my schedule.

Finally, I ordered the new camera and I will pick up on this saturday! It is only $3150, i am so glad that they have the white in stock, I was waited for a month and almost almost to get a black one...

Today is 12th Aug, 2 weeks after i resigned my job, a month later today i will be on the plane and landed in Heathrow airport. It is still so unreal to me, i think i will started to believe it when i step on the plane.

As you might have seen some news of the UK riots, well... the first thing is... i am glad that i didn't pick the University of Birmingham, i applied it and they gave me an unconditional offer but fortunately i am more into Portsmouth, I just like this place and i think because of HK, the sea is one of the reason that i pick this University.

i have to admit that i am concert about the safety but the good thing is people in Portsmouth are wealthy in general, friend told me that i will be fine there. fighters and my toes crossed.

Welcome to the world of poor

Today, I am officially jobless. i left myself month and a half for holiday before moving to the UK. Special request from my colleagues on my last working day, I had bought some ice-lolly for treat. It was not difficult to leave this job at all compared to my last job. Felt ordinary on the way home. The thing is I don't have much friends here even worked here for almost 2 years, or too many people are not friendly here, and i think i will keep in touch with the friends in LDA closely.

The first jobless day, I finally bought a webcam with microphone for my mum and i generally introduced her how to use it, Skype all sorted! Also, my mum and my phones had registered on a free SMS webpage. Thats mean she can receive my SMS from my computer! When i want to chat with my mum on Skype, i just need to inform her by SMS beforehand! it costs us zero!

Meet yr new neighbor on Facebook

There are 14 floors at Trafalgar Hall, 13th and 14th floor are for studio flat. I found 5 neighbor from the facebook group so far and some other nice people in the same building ;-)

Finally, everything is already!

As you can see, this is my student visa to UK. Yeah! everything is already and i just spoke with my boss, i told him i want to leave by end of this month! you have no idea how painful to sit in the office for me, i can not focus at all and i have no mood to work as well. so i think being honest is good for both of us ;-)

Yeah! here is my UK adress

Trafalgar Hall Studio 13-20, Middle Street, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO54AY United Kingdom

Trafalgar Hall location

This is the stuido flat that I will stay in Trafalgar Hall.

For whom might want to visit

The hotel list from my University information webpage- Hotel in Portsmouth

For whom might want to visit and don't wanna stay in Hostel, Budget Hotel is the alternative, try Etap hotel Portsmouth or Travelodge Portsmouth Hotel

I believe you guys will probably stay in london for few days so here is a good deal that i found from a taiwan forum to share, kinda like B&B service provided by a taiwan couples Short Stay in London or Lupton Guest House

For souvenir, you can find something interesting and special in the supermarket at Harvey Nicole top floor. The stylish living brand from Germany- Donkey Products has some cartoon tea bags of different characters, such us pop star, famous designer and politician.

來看我的朋友如果不喜歡住hostle (因為很多時候都是跟別人share bedroom & bathroom) Budget hotel 會是不錯旳選擇! 這兩個budget hotel的另一個好處就是 兩個人跟三個人的價錢都是一樣的
三個人的話就很划算了 不過travelodge的第三個人要睡沙發床 不過Etap有一個單人的上鋪可以睡

在網路上找到一對台灣年輕夫婦提供短期的住宿的房子在hither green (london waterloo east 大概10分鐘, 兩站) 2人才30磅一天! 有廚房和廁所,包括無線網路50Mbs和 32吋LCD房間 很不錯


可愛有趣的買紀念品, Harvey Nicole 里茲店頂樓的Supermarket, 來自德國的生活用品品牌 Donkey Products 他們推出了一系列以政治人物、明星和知名設計師肖像為題的茶包
