I had my phone stolen on a bus up Romford Road, I explained to Constable Depal that it had been taken out of my pocket whilst I was standing up on the lower deck.
Constable Depul told me that i had to go to the BTP which were located in the Stratford train station. So I went over and talked to the BTP to which they told me that they do not deal with crimes outside the station and which the police...
I’m getting better at being professional when im called into a room filled with the owner and the manager and a spare chair laid out for myself.
The fact that to act professionally is to be emotionless, and strong when called into meetings like this, does make me nervous and choke up, however i feel im overcoming this.
Now I’m faced with this difficult decision, I feel like have to...

Dear Parent,
Please do not stand there and laugh when I’m trying to teach your daughter to follow instructions.
I do not appreciate the fact that you do nothing to try and help me.
You are her father and you are teaching her that it is okay to walk away from your teacher when they are talking to you.
We are looking after your daughter 9 hours a day, 5 days a week. and you have the...

Ireland day 6
we were given the option to sleep in today and most of us too full advantage of that. not that the past week has been particularly gruling but still, not fun jumping from hostel to hostel.
Sean told us that he would be walking around Galway and anyone whom wished to come along be down stairs at 10 and he would do a mini walking tour for us.
So we got dressed and headed out, it was raining and...
Ireland day 5
We visited a mountain called Croagh Patrick today, Which our tour guide said was the logo for paramount…im still not sure if he was joking or not, but im going to believe him.
The plan was to climb a tiny bit of it however since it had been raining and hailing it was too dangerous.
Croagh Patrick is a pilgrimage site, It made me want to o the tasks just so i can say im a pilgrim. i feel it...
Ireland day 4
today Sean our tour guide took us to see these ruins that date way back before stone henge. He said that two people whom had run away to live a happy life were cursed and were not able to concermate their love on the earth, and so when they found this pile of rocks they thought hey.. thats not on the earth and did it on top of the rocks, but that is just one of the versions of the myth.
We...
Ireland day 3
We drove from Killarney to Ennis, on the way we were trying to decide if the white stuff on the side of the road was infact snow or just hail.
turns out it was hail, huge hail.
We stopped at a look out point that was at the edge of the national park and overlooked the mountains and lake, walking though the grass to the look out though was muddy, wet, slippy and just plain windy- it was freezing!...
Ireland day 2
so we were driving from Dublin to Killarney, and stopped and see the Blarney Castle. and they famous Blarney stone- to which the legend goes ‘whom ever kisses the blarney stone will get the gift of the gab’
today is very wet and very cold! super dry jacket, puff daddy jacket, shoes all soaking wet.
WE walked up this hill to where the castle stood, its very nice, they have each room...
Ireland day 1
I feel this trip will become a complete and utter failure as yet again i have managed to miss calculate the time it takes to get places and or not counter in the time it takes to walk between and wait for our next mode of transport…..we missed our coach to the airport.
however not to worry, another came in half an hour and we were on our merry way, but it just so happens that on this...
Watchthe steps down the bell tower just keep going and going.
not to forget there were two hundred steps above me before i started filming.
26th November, third day in Paris.
so waking up feeling rather refreshed, i though i wouldn’t get much sleep because of the stress that old man caused me. but i slept really well, and woke up without fear of being deported for not paying.
We went to see Notre Dame Cathedral- for a super large church it is very hard to find. but on the way found a few shopping outlets that i recognised, zara and H&M. so bought some...

We set off to find the Louvre.
This museum takes up an entire block! huge huge museum!
we didn’t venture inside, but we did walk though its walkway to the gigantic glass pyrimids in the courtyard.

opposite the louvre is a park, frosty, beautiful hedges, green grass and hardly any leaves left on the trees that...
24th november, first day in Paris
walk out of the train station at 12ish and we start on our adventure to find Calaincourt Square hostel.
so Brigitte was in charge of the map, took us for a walk one way, when we had walked about half an hour she noticed that we were going the wrong way, and so took us back to the train station.
we walked across the road and Brigitte got harassed by Romanian gypsies asking for money for the...
