Brighton 2k15 part 2: London Sightseeing and Seven sisters

London sightseeing
The weekends were all about excursions, and our very first Saturday was all about London! Me, Pirta and the teacher Frida took 29 excited students on a train and looked at all wonders that you can find in London.

The London trip was really fun, and it was great getting to know new people. Frida was the students teacher and met them during the hours we didn't. It was interesting to learn more about the actual education part of EF. 

Seven sisters
On a very sunny Sunday it was time for me, Pirta and Georgia to take the bus a far out from Brighton. Seven sisters is, as far as I could gather, an area with wonderful nature, surronded by seven big hills (hence the name). It was big grass areas, goats, the sea and cliffs everywhere.

- and then a silly one!

We were really lucky with the nice weather, since the trip would have been horrible in rain. But with the nice sun, and all the sun burns later, we had a really nice time. It was a lot of walking, and a bit of climbing though (I did not enjoy the climbing (for some reason I always forget that I am afraid of heights until I'm actually up there)).

During this weekend a lot of host family issues had to be handled as well. But hey, we thought, that seems reasonable the first day. On the Monday the students are to leave in their five day evaluation and after those issues are taken care of those kinds of problems should settle down right? I am amazed on how the same kind of problems kept happening non stop for three weeks. But I suppose that is aso part of the experience ^^'

Sunday evening was also the very first disco! 800 (!) EF students from all over Brighton gathered in one big night club to dance. Insane!
