how's my life here in leicester, UK
Posted Oct 11th, 2008 at 05:19 PM by twin_born
I am here in leicester for last 3 weeks.Its my first time here in UK and so first time in Leicester.I found that UK people are much caring loving and if u have any problems they are always there with some solution.Here , its leicester city full of Chinese people mostly girls thats good haha.As girls tehy are so magical.But u can find alot of Indians too here.Initially I was living there in univercity accommodation.then I left the univercity accommodation as it was a bit expensive plus I havnt being offered a permanent accommodation from univercity too.Then I had a chance to live in Companile hotel there In leicestrer city Centre.Some of my friends had moved to Holiday Inn thts too in city centre.Lucky guys as univercity had arranged it so not expensive.Those room there @ hotel were amazing with free breakfast in just 10 pounds amazing. but then after that I rented a place here on Evinton road and Draper street.its like we are three guys who are sharing this one house.I just have to pay 150 pounds per month quite cheaper accommodation as compare to univercity one which is 300 pounds per month.but rented place -- its excluding all bills.I have found that Uk a bit expensive . SO now initial problem is solved and next problem was cooking.As we are staying in a self catering houses , we have to cook whether we want it or not.initally we are just 2 guys who had moved inn and the third will join us after a month.but he has paid his due share.
Initially I am using a Nomi Sim here in my mobile.Its a bit expensive.One of my chinese friend told me that She had got a deal with voda phone 20 pounds per month which includes 300 message 300 minutes to call here in Uk and over and above.I am also thinking of taking some package but not sure yet.I think for me I don t have to call much on international no.s so need some no. which provides a cheapest possible local calls.We are interested in a local landline number too ...may virgin company as we are taking their internet connection.
I havnt faced any problem as mostly people are helping and speciallylvocal white people.but most on evinton road u can find all desi people with all desi mentality.U can find alot of desi shope there too.But I normally used to go to Morrison for shopping.I have seen that in just 15- 20 pounds u can do alot of shopping I guess enough for one week.U can buy alot of frozen foods items curry foods.but still that frozen food is not healthy but I had bought alot initially but we hav started cooking.we used to get petta bread that is our desi roti .its like 150 pence u can get 15 rotees and enough for one week.
My semester had started last week.I am taking four modules and doing M.Sc in engineering.I have seen that here not much lectures as back there in pakistan.But for me no exams ..as all courses are Class work and Practical work and they will assessed.And in the end we also need to work on some project and submit a report.
Life is really good here.Uk people are always in mast mood.Leicester univercity has got its own pubs in the Percegee Building. That means u don t have to go out to find girls and clubs.In initial week I had spent alot of time there but then afterwards don t hav that much energy.Its really lov to meet alot of people then talked to them.People drink alot here.But as u know drinkingis good for health I have joined them too.haha
initially jsut 4% alcohol bottles are fine with me.But then lets see where it ends.Leicester sounds is a radio station channel too which i used to listen most of the times.In this way u knw all information related to city.Keep in touch with city news.
Leicester has got one the world largest open fruit market.U can buy cheaper food there too but still it depends what time u go. they normally have filled bowls with fruit items in one pound.but in the evening u can find the same in 50 pence too as they want to dispose off rather than taking fruit back home.that What I think may be I am wrong.
I think thats alot of information.Here I have met alot girls mostly white and chinese girls.We also had tried Scotish dance and had attended a lengthy session with different stepping I don t remember much but that is alot of group work but still we have enjoyed alot.
To be continued ....
Thts all for today.
hope to get some comments.
