Very bad day!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
I had a very short night, one of my flatmate had friends in the common kitchen and I could not sleep. After going out 2 times asking them to talk less loudly, I asked them to leave at the 3rd time. My flatmate had the idea to try to insist to stay I told him […]

SURREAL
Filed Under Daily, Hiking | Leave a Comment
The views on the last hike were beautiful! Probably among my best scenery shots: Rhyd Ddu I did not enjoy much the social side. I had the impression half of the group did not like me much. I usually set a quick pace when I am in group 1, the hardest group.

Water/windproof pants + water/windproof hat + thermal base layer to protect against the cold. I am ready for tomorrow’s Hike. The thermal base layer is really nice, makes me look like an athlete. It was made in germanny and it fits me like a charm. I love it! The weather seems nice though according to […]

I was waiting and waiting for the AUD to go higher compared to the Euro and it would not happen. So in the end, I had to transfer money from my french bank instead! But I did it last Friday so I was a bit short on cash during the weekend. Also the expensive trip […]

Unexpected Fame!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
It has been 6 weeks now that I am in Manchester and things have started sadly in a bad way for me. I kept on running into awkward situations and people would be more or less rude to me. So I tried to be as simple as I could and disappear in the crowd. I […]

Two Very Hard Hikes!

I really thought I had no “acceptable pictures” from Capel Curig but I did have some decent ones. I felt very good after though. Yesterday it was very nice on the social side. Everyone […]

No Hiking with the Uni club but Hiking with Couch Surfing people in Manchester this Saturday. I wish I did not commit because the weather forecast does not look good and it is a pain to walk in the rain and with gusts up to 55 mph! I wanted to meet some Couch Surfers in […]

A Scary Thought!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
Monday night at 11 pm, I received a SMS from a team leader in the hiking group asking me if I have lost anything in the bus. I confirmed it was my Ipod. Suddenly I had a very uncomfortable thought. Usually when I move, I used to put a very important personal file called memo.txt […]

Too Windy!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
For the hike on Sunday, it was too windy. We reached the top but came back quickly the same way. No pictures could be taken! I am happy I survived and came back in one piece. Not much fun! Everyone had their own climbing buddy so they stayed among themselves. I did not care much. […]

The Good Things!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
Since I arrived, I have been extremely stressed and that has visible consequences on my health: a second herpes and two cold consecutively. I am still recovering from the second one. I kept on coughing. There are good things that happened to me though. I was worried about the tuition fee that turned out in […]
