International students in England

The uni-Café - student charm and ambience of the UNI

Pass by the canteen of the University as a "Restaurant"? Depends on the point of view. But I can not write my blog at least one position of the canteen on campus spend. Too many memories hang off the coast from there. Fundamentally it comes in the University, not so cafeteria food very of the but of social interaction. Any time you encounter someone here knows always that of somewhere. Whenever I resembles the ceiling upside down (too long learn in the library, solitary in the student room and nobody had time for a meeting) I am in the canteen - and thinking, was there already someone I have known at 3 somehow corners.
Now, but to eat. Canteens lining olé: the choice is limited and does not see
University canteen seating area
really delicious out. There is a lasagna (with good luck, you have even the choice of vegetarian and meat lasagna), (kind of), pizzas, hamburgers and French fries, fries (apples spiral-shaped) curl and usually a kind of "Curry" with a piece of naan bread. Probably, he wants to show these efforts for the integration of the pages of the University, so that students from the region of Asia and here especially the India feel also. So please: finger there. The Curry is hideous. A friend of Sri Lanka ("Curry" - as is also quite large) stated that Curry in the dining room would be purely to GAR NIX with a correct Curry. And as I said, the taste is revolting. Access to the lasagna or pasta pot.
Building of the Union of students - cafeteria in the basement of 1.
Once in a week with good luck there grilled chicken with vegetables and sauce - super lecker! Sold out unfortunately also fast - can I best on take my lunch at 11, which has so much good taste and without breakfast. Thus and the rest? Well, this is not bad taste, we are accustomed to everything. And it is also not really about food, but to meet others and have a little fun between conferences. To do this, the prices are also quite ok - a menu is often were for about 2 to 3 pounds.
Oh, one more: morning is the ' British Breakfast "-there are more than 10 different dishes to choose, and it is also relatively inexpensive." Strike.

Imaginative decorations of shoes - even fashion spectacular shoe to the United Kingdom

It is absurd that if good, I find that it enough shoes? Note the Babushka - puppet on the shoe just left aufgemahlte, while the sandal blue platform makes it also a dear gusto with set bear plush. Süß! If I would - something as well this point, I do not know. Purely for every day I oscillate between dotted Sandals up to with blue and pink flower and the shoe of multi is striped, dotted, and gesternt in a red ground

The shoes found incidentally in a store with a name very creative: shoe! Please, why do think ultra creative names offshore of specialists of marketing, names and logos, if so just go. ' Schuh actually rather wait schnickschnacklosen Normalo shoes, therefore, these very surprised footwear bold. As always, I would not as a Coward mode jämmerlicher: smooth Babushka I would anziehen… doll shoes

Brighton-great Pier, unfortunately stony Beach

The great thing about Brighton: there is a beach, Hurraaa! The least: the beach is a stone beach. So nothing with soft Sandy Beach romance. Had to say just beforehand, step to a person if the image of postcard here left hopes for a barefoot - walk on the beach. Since the sole of the foot would not be granted. However Brighton is obviously very nice, especially during the summer, if it is hot
One of the main attractions: obviously the pier. A gigantic bridge with large annex building and some fish do chip stalls, the long forever in the amounts of the sea. A walk is in all cases, the view is great. There are still a few stores in the large building (the most but the stories of memories too expensive) and, of course, the fish required no stalls chips. Even if we know that not really a big fan of fish did I chips, I transported me sea air, the beautiful view and a friend of mine to fish is of chips - and he loved me is also not bad. But, well, in the sea breeze salty Sun tastes better.
The Royal Pavilion
If not can you simply in the city around the March of manufacturing - the "Royal Pavilion ', a Palace of the English Royal family is see it." The "Royal Pavilion tearoom ' must be famous - I've seen step personally, but as I said, the Pavilion already cute looks like on the outside." Brighton is also a beautiful coastal town. Specifically, who lives in London, want - away are sometimes far from the city in a small village Brighton is an idea.
What I find enjoyable: small winding streets - Brighton is also somewhat half built on the coastal zone: part going to the bottom and top to bottom. If a constant travel up and down the streets. The beach is also a up and: is a small hill at the beginning and it gets then more abrupt descent to the sea, is funny (but unfortunately, leiiiider is not sand, but Steine… as halt).
As you can see on the right photo, was already quite full around the beach in the summer. Also at cooler temperatures. Brighton is not only in the summer. While - England temperatures are most of the cool time, sort of this, it must have luck if you a really sunny day in bath erwischt…

-2Nd year Bachelor of strategic marketing decisions: sexy Observatory - or complete nerd.

2 Year bachelor, in the summer semester.
You also know? There are types, because you see the resume and I would like to kill himself at the nearest and dearest. Studies in minimum time, hitting the same doctor and by the way already the academic career started. As a boy informed me. Oh God.
"Strategic Marketing decisions" has, as its name indicates, much to do with marketing, but with "digital" marketing in reality much more We hear much about social networks to Facebook or Twitter Blog ingredients all about Web 2.0 (or now minute: ' Web 3. 0′) level. Very exciting, I can tell you. Well exciting: one of the speakers.
Tasty - marketing is so much fun
Strategic marketing decisions is informed of 2 teachers: a woman and a crispy Toyboy young. The woman is also relatively young start thirty and in fact for a scholar. Toyboy breaks but all records: which is just a year older than me. A YEAR. And already, physician, Professor at the University and an active researcher with several publications in various magazines. Why should I even to a degree? All I need is a wobbly Chair and a rope.
And therefore not enough - in truly sunlight the guy looks younger than I. As 21 incredible. And also always damn sexy. In a commercial film, strange music could start now and we know exactly: in the following scene, he is driving with a minor pupil and is captured by the own campus guards inflagranti.
Marvel in all cases seriously as I please is to focus on such a view the lessons. If he even abandon pen and that I and the public of any female Conference bends have shortness of breath.
If you now not really buy all me: If you have the choice, and which has been studied with management, do not forget this take marketing! Sexy Mister is namely in the Department of Marketing of the University, and then with a bit of luck also speaker
For example, and because I want to say in fact this only on the content of the study you, once again very closely: as long as said go mainly to digital media, Internet, risks and opportunities in strategic marketing decisions. The speaker is also an expert in the vicinity of "social media" - everything that social networks like Facebook, to do so with LinkedIn etc. The sounds are now a little specialist Orchid moderately, but when diving deeper into the case, it is not so easy to use social networks for marketing technically. Much psychology and also technical knowledge since come into play.
Also interesting: mobile marketing. Therefore all around the mobile phone and how to make advertising here as discreetly.
After marketing Yes my favorite subject is, here is once again a warning: in the early
various elements of "social media".
the Conference (and also for the entire control!) is a said that we should quickly forget the famous 4 P '-both of price, location, product and promotion! It is no longer relevant at the time of digital media. So who has internalized studying marketing and these 4 P, will be greatly surprised! Very, very, very recommended!
Rank: he did y no examination at the end, but a presentation of the group. You need to find some small start up a business as a group (may be the corner around the corner shop, or a seller of newspapers or irgendwas…) and then should this company online marketing create for concept, mainly with "social media" - thus, Facebook, Twitter, etc. must be included as search engines, blogs etc.
All in one of the most exciting modules in my entire undergraduate and one of the main reasons, I decided for a Master in 'Digital Marketing'.

The bouviers - typical English pub

Who wants to see a true, typical and stinknormales pub, I recommend the "can". Not all my recommendations of pub (or warnings) are particularly special or funny or the fear of einflößen. A long-standing was wondering which pub I can present here in my blog real, typical pub. Any person studying, on vacation or why in England (or Southampton) comes, wants a burger to go a regular pub on a quart sooner or later, and in French. Was not so easy to untscheiden me for a pub. Connect with places them more me something special or is special - there really nice normal, unaufregendes want to find something if a change.
Finally decided to "The can" - that therefore the simple,.
Way of the can
simple, pub experience will be English - make it easy to go in the can. The can is placed more or less at the "entrance" to Southampton'ner "good." The common is a piece of forest in the city, with several green areas, where you can take its mobile disposable barbecues in the summer and grill.
the forest at the door.
Similarly, the beer is cheap and good, the food is typical pub-like and all also affordable. The location itself is also very nice, especially if you have a gateway wood directly. In reality not really for the winter, but for the summer - more then you can and sitting outside in the garden of Schani and a little sunshine.
It is similar to the Interior of the pub itself partially a salon oversized - gives even a home with Feuerchen… Much English may be the plu Yes PAS.

Portsmouth - Shooopping, a giant Tower and an old boat

Views from the Spinnaker Tower
Shopping marre - short is a must before Christmas the town of Portsmouth. There is namely "Gunwharf quays" - a single, large decision-making Centre with different designers. Focus on: "exit" - Centre. Hooray! Clothes Biiiillige. In some factory of some error is, other parts are in the previous year. Me, shopping in Gunwharf quays is certainly an experience. Certainly, the atmosphere in the stores themselves is not-so-chic. Since it takes the expression 'out of the box' quite literally, in part as authentic only sticks to the ceiling with the clothes hanging in the lower part. Well, shopping times differently. But at a good price market
Except shopping still offer Portsmouth? Ahja, Portsmouth is a city - directly on the sea. Therefore the large "tour Spinnaker": a corkscrew oversized double optical Tower, which looks like not only a little unstable, but in reality in the wind varies a little. In terms of heights, I am a coward, therefore dared me not on the platform for visitors. But, a friend of mine and that describes how it feels that the Tower together in the wind varies very easily but but this to me. In total, there are 3 platforms - one of them has even a rear glass: o no thank you, because I'm not going to achieve. On the right photo is the Spinnaker Tower. The photo seems too good to be true? It is true that I have also diverted from here.
Floor glass Tower in Portsmouth
The photo at the beginning of the post with the view of the Tower took my girlfriend. Very nice, you can see the environment and the small port of Portsmouth area.
What I liked even: the "Historic Dockyard. Here, it has replicated installation of small port of the 19 century - with a large vessel, which is a small museum. The ship itself is nice: you can tinkering guns (of course with ammunition) or maintain the ship steering wheel in their hands.
I was just in November it and because there was a small market of Christmas with a
Historic ship
Snow plant. After it of in part South of England thus never snow (yes I know, already in London and the North, but believe me, the snow is very rare in the South), snowmobiling is a real attraction. He built a "Snowy owl" klitzkleine road in photography then can be.

Fig. Fat - indefinable little secret

In some restaurants you passes normally only, because you look so poor from the outside. If one is "Fat Fig". This is not a. What a pity! Because the fat Fig is a real insider the in my opinion. My dear friend there celebrated their anniversary - we were a group relatively limited of persons about 9 and already completed at the restaurant half. In any case seldom so nice eaten.
In England, there are many of these restaurants: size of a normal living room, with maybe 6 or 7 tables, or even not at all. A small-tiny and los bar can go. Usually, there is only a server / waitress and cook. Since the family atmosphere is obviously phenomenal - I believe in a such small localities still a little more comfortable in large restaurants. For this reason also the Fig and fat so I liked.
Food: I very appreciated! As a group, you can choose several dishes are then put in the middle on the table, and everyone can take anywhere. Yummy yummy. The fat fig even then described that "Greek Taverna", but rather, the food may not be really Greek ur then once again. Was already more than once in Greece and since then but very pleasant, unlike tzatziki tasted a but what solls, taste not s also in the fatty fig. Just look, it is (and is sometimes also not more dear than many local another for a change!).

Tiger, Dove or Lion of the Finger… English ring debatable-mode.

It is not just a hard particularly passionate about Greenpeace, should be the fingers of some catch in England. This is just my opinion. Fashionistas at fashion island also attach recently like animal on the finger: rings with the heads of the various big cats, birds or snakes - and this is just the little I've seen in Southampton. I bet London Safari Congo has already set and the youth of Winnie Pooh and his friends as metal arrangement for the finger. OH dear.

Above left: a tiger. Or lion. You know it, depends on the setting of carrier and the light of the Sun in May. Right: a dove, and in the bottom of image and a lion. And who is now particularly courageous, the ring then combined with the corresponding string added or a bracelet flirting with version full of the body of the animal as a disciple.

So I find Tigerprints Yes already visually pretentious (except on the bags, but since my favourite staff for human pockets every day in the game is), just so guess my cold cold sweat in the pigeon ring mounting.

British Breakfast:.

If you like hearty as the morning, I put "breakfast British" on the heart. Toast, sausages, baked beans, once enough for lunch, dinner and afternoon snack. With us at the University of British relatively cheap breakfast for about 2 pounds in the canteen - you can choose from more than 10 dishes. Here at the University cafeteria (it taste better that he look at):
Inserts on the plate, is different from one region to. Hampshire and therefore here are Southampton usually: toast, beans, sausages, black pudding, grilled baked tomato (usually just a slice), hash browns, grilled mushrooms, fried or mashed eggs. Here the ingredients in detail:
Black pudding
The first incongruous. Black, most believe fortunately is no longer the Schocki pudding and Süßzeug, so already widespread. Exact details, I save you only so: pork blood part, it is grilled and blood sausage fans have certainly benefit from this. in a fit of madness times itself tried - it has a taste as of the aussieht… Only this that brave.
Baked beans
My personal highlight - really tasty. The beans are served in a thick sauce - especially that softer taste, very rarely salted - arrives at the restaurant. Only you can not eat beans: which are given directly to the toast disk - to-eat and baked beans with toasted bread. The only drawback: each beans are as you know a Tönchen
Toast
Accepted in reality by itself. However: served is white toast! Fans of whole grain will have certainly no joy. Have seen still nowhere somewhere in England, you would have the choice. However, as I said, the toast is rather an enhancer flavor and surface for the baked beans.
Fried
Or that very English - and in all regions, where I was, part of it also. Looks like a buffer of small potatoes, but not really the same. Potatoes fried in small pieces are cut, all mixed, Petrie of small round, grilled dish. Taste: so rather bland honest gaaaanz. It applies the principle of toast: very good with baked beans!
Sausage (sausage)
Grilled sausage looks like mostly just on the image. Gourmet is rather: finger off… As you can see the sausages are very thick, short and is usually not particularly taste. But you are simply just for a good British breakfast. I recommend but: be sure with ketchup (which you get more not automatically - check!).
Grilled tomato (grilled tomatoes)
Hurray, the first healthy ingredient. twisted language whose bold and meat in the reinbeißen of briefly roasted tomatoes. Funny: most of the time it gets only a single, small disc… clearly: the spirit in the English breakfast is rather in fat and true protein. Here at the University you must place each disk itself, that the British know nothing.
Spiegelei (fried egg)
Accepted in reality by itself. Sometimes there are Eierspeiß ' instead of just egg (for my German readers: English scrambled eggs: scrambled eggs). Fried egg looks like, but often rather not as here on the image, usually double will fried.
Grilled mushrooms (grilled mushrooms)
The second more healthy ingredient. Also here is once more: you get especially many flat mushrooms. The negotiation is required. Generally, you get exactly 2 slices of small mushrooms. In the Southampton' canteen it: ask me! When the waitress on it, there is a free additional slices.
All together on a plate could then watch - the first image in the box of storage to the canteen of the University, the second image nice and then republished on the plate (and as you can see, I took a good day and has been very Chamignons)

Week of the day 6 Freshers - karaoke at Deer's head, Conference of introduction

6 Freshers week days:
Shortly before 09, Conference Room:
Ohoho - s now serious. My first session in a conference room. But no Conference is an event of introduction. So that all students learn. There are as I here by the way in which Internet wireless to any campus very practical for the mobile laptop Twiddlers.
Evening, the Vindi room:
Oh God, all the English hate me. Am after the thing all launch (purely academic here) directly to their door, FAZ was but apparently still at their introductory session (aja, sounds professional). Am so to Vindi, which leaves paranoid to complete.
Then: good reading Hall was packed with students of management aufgedrehten noisy. Now, the proportion of international students is very high - there are very many Chinese and Japanese, European countries are also represented: are very numerous in Greek Southampton, some Spanish and Turkish Cypriots, I also met very many Indians. Well, but if you wrap while the total number of undergraduate students, then the still is a time not many foreign students, but of course mainly English (in the master which is completely different studies - there are mainly international students). After the students as to join their countrymen and women, it is intended to prevent that at least in the approach to the management of the University. Direct solicitation so: international students please separate! You can contribute to the cultural exchange so fantastically.
HM. Ok. With my Austrian accent, Schwarzenegger, I am about as unobtrusive as Darth Vader to the Viennese under English. And I have a loud organ also one at that. In compensation for, I'm still not yet soft and thin, but also more powerfully built. God is with me.
I was so some more put - away by nice French cel, with which I have maintained, rucki zucki to English.
Task: we should tell the other what we have about us. Where we come from, our pastime, blah blah. I opened the mouth of little, since it has already said: Germany! Have tried to so teach students the difference between the Germany and the Austria. That was, but apparently not exciting enough, because entertainment was moving in the direction of different cities in England, who at the school, the bands of English rock.
Ignored if was somehow most of the time simply. The English now interested not on other nations, is somewhat known Yes (course exceptions). But simply ignored is difficult.
Vindi has said that it was virtually only on the first day. And also I would be obliged to support me not necessarily in English - there is indeed much other foreign students. HM - am but also a little here, for me, integrate or not? And how you want to go, if it is ignored by the English?
Well, what solls. Today, there the night karaoke very certainly to uni-pub "stag's head". Hurraaa!
(Almost) every Thursday deer's head he brings the micro and the bookstore. Of course, the songs are currently not rabies, but Britney Spears and co are Hey, with a bit of Guinness in the blood, a pleasure for the whole family.
Karaoke night at the head of the deer a incidentally is a funny Facebook group.
