That summer a friend of mine and me traveled to London with a grand that we received. The first difficult thing was to look for a good trip, so, we hired an agency to look for a family and a language course, it seems easy but wasn't because where we lived every agency was very expensive, so the cheapest we found was in Madrid, 400 kilometres from our city. The problem was that we have to sign a lot of papers, read conditions ... but we haven't fax, so our parents received the papers in our town, and then they send us to the city were we lived; when the papers were signed, the same, first to our parents and then to madrid. When we finally finished it, started to looking for a cheap flight but it didn't exist, we were looking for one for months but it was impossible, so, we take one not very expensive but with a problem. We had to sleep at the airport because it arrived at midnight and at that hours buses didn't work!!! It was a horrible night, moreover this night Spain won the football eurocup and we couldn't saw it because the airport hasn't TV!!
At 7:00 in the morning we took the first bus to the center of London, imagine, with all the luggage, tired and lose in an foreing country. First we took that bus, then the subway to the nearest station to the adress of our house (that was the only thing we had). When we left the underground we started to walk to our house, we walked for al least 30 minutes uphill to found the house!!! Luckily there was people there, because they thougt that we had to arrived the day before, that was true but we tried to call many times from the airport the day before and was impossible, we didn't know why. Finally we were installed!!
In this trip we had another two problems. The first one was with internet (again, I had many problems with it in my life) we had our laptop computers, however, in the house there wasn't wi-fi, so we carried with them for nothing, because in the school they neither had wi-fi. So, we had to conected in the school computers and we were allow to conected only in four, and of this only 2 worked. The problem was that a lot of people had the same problem, as a result we were 50 persons for only 2 computers!!! You have to go early in the morning or very late af evening if you want to conected.
The second problem was the phone, the family didn't allow us to use the telephone ( we had a telephone card to call, and with the code you didn't spent money in their telephone, but there were not very friendly), so, we had to use public telephones to call our parents. Public telephones were so dirty, they were smelly, and a lot of rare people look at you bad. Hereby we had to call very early, because in the night scared and our family had to be aware of when we call.
However, despite this we had a great time in London, is a wonderful city and we met many people.
