My First day abroad and meeting my host family.

When I arrived at in London’s Heathrow airport, I remember liking it. I felt very welcomed to Britain. The bar tender was very nice at the restaurant a group of us sat at.  I learned that tipping is not required in pubs and bars. The first day, I remember seeing a lot of smaller cars, with smaller engines, compared to the United States. I realized that people here are a lot more relaxed and laid back. When meeting my host family I soon noticed that they are a lot more polite to each other than my family is. It was amazing how skinny the roads are here compared to the U.S.  My host family was very nice. They picked me and my roommate up in a camper. They slept in the camper outside in the driveway so me and my roommate can get our own rooms. My host dad was a doctor of psychology. I remember him saying that  he was born in South Africa. He taught at the University I attended while over there. He did research on personalities. My host mom worked out of her home as a chiropractor. They had two daughters. I remember them telling me that they have lived in England for around 20 years My host dad was very intelligent.  I spent my free time the first day talking to them about the differences we have in health care, politics, and manners. I met some cool students, the first day; I noticed that  a lot of them have similar personalities as me so I knew, right from the first day, that this trip was going to be a lot of fun.   The first night we went out to the Hobligoblin in downtown Bristol England. I recommend going there because it is a very chill place and they have really good beer. My first day in England was so long.  I got about 30 min of sleep in 36 hours. So when you travel to Europe, be prepared to get little sleep the first day.
