今天下課後, we got social program to meet some 5-week presessional students
不過我遇到一位12週的學生, 來自Kazakh...
這地方我還是第一次聽, 猜了好~~~~~~久才知道是"哈薩克"...
老師這次有準備些有趣的題目給我們玩, 跟British culture有關
其中有些問題還真的聽都沒聽過......
寫一些來玩玩看~
(答案在每一題的下面~ 請反白)

我們這隊隊名叫"TACHIJAKOKA" (猜的出來為什麼嗎? 嘿嘿~  提示: 我們有五個人)
最後統計分數的時候我們跟另外三隊同分, 所以要進行第二輪比賽來決定誰是第二名跟第三名(第一名已經有了)
題目是: 披頭四在英國總共有幾張冠軍單曲?
我捫這沒人是披頭四迷, 所以就把我們五個人的年齡加起來算平均數當答案 算出來的答案是24
交出答案後我們還一直想, 應該至少有三四十張才對, 不會這麼少...
結果答案是17張!! 我們的數字最接近答案, 所以得到了第二名! 哈哈哈
感謝年輕的哈薩克男孩把年齡往下拉了一點(他才19歲~)


在去參加social program之前, 我趁一小時的空檔跑去library找資料
因為不想印一堆書很浪費錢, 所以我效法了Milo的spy精神
拿數位相機狂照!! 大概照了有一百頁吧...........
我很怕有人看到我這樣做會叫我把記憶卡交出來= =
可是印書就OK...所以應該不算犯法吧............
我不想浪費紙張咩~~~ !(<-被抓的話打算用的藉口= =+)

//今天, 我第一次, 在英國買......香蕉!!
話說英國最~~~便宜的水果就是香蕉, 每次去別人房間幾乎看到的水果就是-香蕉
可是之前在Bristol我還真的從來沒買過, 到現在~ 因為吃了葡萄跟櫻桃, 不愛吃蘋果, 橘子皮很難剝...其他水果不是 要削皮要嘛就要切(目前沒工具)...再不然就是很貴或是會酸.....
我今天, 終於拿起香蕉了!! 值得紀念值得紀念!!

//被嗆了~ 被一個28歲, 在英國待了9個多月, 單身一年多的韓國男念~
"you have been 6 months in the UK, you should find a boyfriend!!"
雖然時間軸有點不對(懶得再去跟他改...)
但是被這麼唸還是挺怪的!! 可惡!! 也不想想自己在英國待多久啦~ 可惡~
最近我有沒有男朋友的事很像常被拿出來問= =.........這種八卦真的是國際通用
因為太多女生都有男朋友, 所以發現我這個沒有的稀有品種很稀奇嗎= =||
