London

Hi everyone,

From Thursday to Sunday we went to Londen. In this message I´m going to tell you everything we did in this four days. Thursday it was the day of packing our stuff and traveling to London. When we arrived in London, we went to the famiy of Cameron who live there. We went to have diner with the whole family. On Friday we did visit a museum and Harrodds. It was an amazing day,which I really enjoyed. In the evening we had diner in a Chinese restaurant with Cameron´s grandma and grandpa. On Saturday we had a cycle tour into the city of London, it was a fun way of visiting a city. After that we had a walk in the city and had lunch on the Greenwich market. We had diner at Cameron´s aunt´s home. On Sunday we had a walk in Crystal park with the family, then we packed our stuff and went home. Those four days were amazing.

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.

First day of school

Hi everyone,

Yesterday was my first day of school. I have to wear a uniform and we go to school with the schoolbus. The bus takes us half an hour. First we had to go to assembly. There are schoolmembers come together. Brent and I had to stand up and everyone had to applause us. After that Cameron and I had two hours of system. They first had to check a test they made. Then we had to design something. I drew my name in 3D. There was this really nice girl and we had a really nice chat there. When that lessons were finished we had a break. In break I had a chat with some friends of Cameron. After break we had maths and IBEC. Then a break again. The last two hours were product design. That I had a lot of fun with Tyler and Coben. We had to design lamps. That were my lessons for this day. When we got home we watched some movies and had dinner. Now we have a week mid-term holiday.

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!
Robbin
