Blog by Charlene Tan: 3 Things I've Experienced in Newcastle

1, 2, 3 ,4 ,5 and 6. Yes, it's been 6th months away from home. I always want to blog about what I've experienced in Newcastle. I think it's long enough so me to do a short summary after all this while.

1. Four Season in a Day.

To experience the four beautiful season is always my dream, but, not in the United Kingdom, especially in Newcastle. I remember the day when I just touched down, it was about 17 degree, the wind was strong, but, it was still okay compare to now. Well, it didn't last long, only about 1 or 2 week, and the weather changed. Changed to unpredictable. I always thought I could have a white Christmas, because people said, " North of England is very cold, brace yourself! " Yea, keep waiting for months. But....

What I can say is that the weather in Newcastle has a very bad personalities - emotional. It can be sunny in the morning, but raining once you stepped out your accommodation. LOL ! Lesson learnt : USE WEATHER FORECAST !

2. Endless Party

Just for your information, Newcastle upon Tyne's nightlife will never let you down. We get flyer everywhere, anywhere, anytime. Just like printing is free ! LMAO! You woke up in the morning, walking out from your room, flyers on the floor! Because, it comes out of no where, or your get annoyed by some strangers knocking on your door asking if you're going for a night out !

Things we said when we have a really bad hangover.

But, this never gonna happen. Even, you have classes tomorrow. Because, you tell yourself almost everyday:

Party daily or weekly in Newcastle has never be a problem for the student. Classes tomorrow? Hangover? Just another day with alcohol.

3. Geordie Accent

To be honest, I spent months to understand the accent. The Geordie really do have a very strong accent until I have this questions in my mind " Are you speaking English to me? " LOL !
