A lot of schoolwork this week. I had some tests for the English school. And had a lot of homework for Holland. On thursday I went to Elisabeta's house to stay for the afternoon. We had a lot of fun and ate delicious pizza's. On Friday we had to go home really fast, because we had to go to the airport. We went to Northern Ireland this weekend to visit some family of Cameron. We stayed at Cameron's auntie, the house was enormous. Cameron's little cousin became my new friend ;). On saturday we went to see a rugby match, which was super funny. It was the first rugby match I've ever seen. People were singing and dancing all the time. I really enjoyed it. On sunday we had a christmas diner at Cameron's grandparents', it was a typical English one. It was really good and delicious. After that we had to catch our flight again. Loved this week.

Theater
Hi everyone,
This week was a lot less fun. On wednesday I started to get ill. Then on thursday and friday I stayed home because I felt really bad. It was weird to be ill without my mom being around and taking care of me. But my hostfamily was really sweet and took care of me. I had a bit of a fever and a bad headache. On saturday I felt a lot better. Cameron's granny and grandad came to visit us. We had a good lunch. In the evening we went out for a meal, what was really good. After that we went to the theater. I can't remember what it was called. It was an English literature, the English was really old, so it was hard for me to understand it. Then on sunday I watched Cameron's hockey match, it was really cold and he lost the game. But it was nice to see him playing. After that we went to get our christmas tree. In the evening we had some early christmas presents and kind of celebrated sinterklaas with skome little present. My parents sended me and the family some nice present, which was really kind of them. I miss them a lot, but two more weeks and then I finally am going to to see them again. I'm really looking forward to go back, but I'm going to miss my hostfamily and my friends here a lot.

Iceskating
Hi everyone,
I had an amazing week again. From monday until thurday we had school. On friday we got the day off, which was really good. Cameron and I went to Portsmouth again, to the cinema. We went to see the film, a streetcat named Bob, we enjoyed it. After that we did some christmas shopping. We missed our train, so we had to wait for another hour... But we survived. Then on Saturday David brought me to Pulbrough, were my friends live. Tierney, Kristen and I had a sleep over, which was a lot of fun. We made our own pizza, watched christmasmovies and ate a lot of good food. On Sunday we went iceskating, and did some really good shopping. I bought my dress for prom, because I come back on the 20th of december and prom is the 22nd of december. The iceskating was really funny, because it was Kristen's and Tierney's first time. When I came back we went to church and had a good sundayevening.

Hi everyone,
At first I want to apologise for my really really late message. I'm going to tell you about last week, I had 5 weeks of school and a weekend full of homework so this won't be a very interesting message.
This is my first full week of school. Here a list of my schooldays.
6:30 waking up
7:15 breakfast
8:00 bus had to be here
8:10 bus is late (everyday....)

This week I made some lovely friends, I spend my breaks with them and we have a lot of fun together. On wednesday I had hockeytraining and it was lovely, it was a little cold, but it feels good to do some excersises. On thursday we went to the bomfire at Ewan's school, it was amazing! Then on Saturday I made a lot of homework. On sunday I went to see Ewan's hockeymatch which he won. After that we went to church. This week was lovely but scary, my first week in school made me realise how hard this is, you don't know anybody and you have to find your own way around, luckily find some people to spend time with, I'm happy I made some amazing friends.

My birthday!!
Hi everyone,
On Wednesday it was my birthday. I turned fifteen. In the morning I had some calls with my friends and family. At lunch the neighbor came to eat. Cameron made us a delicious English lunch, with sausages, potatoes, peas and beans. In the afternoon I did some of my homework. Then we had a beautiful walk near the Lake. When Gillian got home we went to eat diner in a restaurant. I could choose which one. I chose the Italian one. There I got the most beautiful present from my host family. You can see it in one of the picture below. This was an amazing birthday, which I´ll never forget.

Hockey training
Hi everyone,
Wednesday was not really special. I made a lot of homework. The evening was a lot more fun. I had my first hockey training in England. The day before I turned fifteen and the groups are divided in 6-14 and 15-older. So Gillian and I are in the same hockeygroup. We did a match because it was half-term and the trainers weren´t there. Sorry for the short message but this day I didn´t do so much.

Chichester
Hi everyone,
First I want to say sorry for not posting blogs for so long. This week has been really bussy for me.
Tuesday we had to wake up early because Cameron and his family had a dentist appointment. Their dentist is located in Chichester, a city close to where my home for two months is. We left straight after breakfast. While the family had their dentist appointment, I went to shop for a polaroid camera, a present a got from my friends. When I had bought the camera, I had a look in the other shops. After they were done at the dentist we did some food shopping. Then we had lunch and I did some homework in the rest of the afternoon.

My first mountainbike ride
Hi everyone,
Today I had to wake up some earlier, because we went to mountainbike in the forest. Together with Cameron and David. First we had to cycle up which was a little hard for me because it was my first time mountainbiking. Going down I liked a lot. When we got home after two hours of cycling I made some homework for the Netherlands. Around four O´clock we left to church. It was my first time in an English church. It´s really different than church in the Netherlands. In the English church we sang a lot of songs. After church we had diner and we watched some tv at the neighbours.

A day at the beach
Hi everyone,
Yesterday I woke up late because I was pretty tired of the first day of school. This day it was saturday and mid-term, so no school. We had breakfast with the hole family. After breakfast we left to the beach. There we had pancakes for lunch. Ater lunch we went for a walk at the beach. It was a lovely walk. The sun was shining and there were loads of boats and surfers on the water. The walk took us for around two hours. We went to play some rugby and watched some windsurfers. We were pretty hungry after the walk so we had some bagels and sandwiches on our way back to the car. Then we had to do some food shopping and went back home.

Prepare, organise, say goodbye
Hi everyone,
I arrived in England yesterday evening. It was hard for me to leave my friends and family, but my host family is amazing. The flight to the UK was 45 minutes, Brent and I had a good flight, When we arrived at the airport our hostfamilies were waiting to pick us up. When we got home family Flowers gave me a warm welcome in their family. I have my own room with a big bed and closet. I gave Cameron and his family some typical dutch presents. I called my parents to tell them I arrived well. Then we had dinner, we ate pasta with a delicious sauce. After dinner I went to have a shower and went to bed. I´m happy to be here and I think I´ll have an amazing two months.

This is me !!
Hi everyone,
My name is Robbin Visser. I'm 14 years old, on the 25th of October I'm turning 15. In 4 days I'm going to the United Kindom for 2 months. There I will stay with Cameron Flowers. In England I'll go to school, live in an English family and live there a life.
It will be an amazing experience which I'll never forget. It would be great to share this with my family, friends, people in my neighbourhood and other people who are interested. That's why I made this blog. Sharing my experience with others.
I'll go to Bury (west-sussex), United Kingdom on the 20th of October, only two more days.... Now I'm prepared to go. I packed my bag, gave a party to say goodbye and celebrated my birthday which will be when I'm in the United Kindom.
I'll post a blog every day. I'll tell you about what my day was like, and how I feel about being in the UK.
Speak to you later!
