# I returned having discovered a more relaxed me.
Hello. I chose a gap year during the school vacation because I wanted to feel more relaxed abroad. I also wanted to learn English and experience another country''s culture.
Before leaving, excitement outweighed worry. Until departure I was swamped with practicums and exams and couldn''t prepare much, so I left for London without much planning. This time,rather than having a specific goal for the gap year, I wanted to feel relaxed. And I returned having discovered myself feeling relaxed there.
# I was greatly impressed by how people didn''t worry about others'' opinions.
# Friends I met here
# My gap year TIP
(Accommodation)
I experienced a lot of inconvenience related to cleaning. The homestay where I stayed was occupied by a woman and her son, and the woman''s concept of hygiene was different from ours, so I sometimes felt it was a bit dirty (especially the kitchen). Because of that, I had some discomfort when cooking in the kitchen.
So I washed the dishes again before using them and wiped the table once more before eating. Still, the lady tried hard to talk with us a lot, which I appreciated.
(Meals)
There are cheap places in the UK, but because the pound is expensive I cooked at home. In my case, I had already bought a lot of food in Korea, so I could eat well without spending much money. Still, because of the academy schedule I had to buy food once a day, so I often ate supermarket meals or burgers. Eating all three meals out is a burden, but ingredients are cheap, so even if you can''t cook well I recommend trying to cook yourself.
