Day 13 - Free day with host family

Day 13

Free day with host family



Today marks our thirteenth day in the UK, with only three days left before we return to Hong Kong. As the journey draws to a close, a bittersweet feeling arises - we have come to love this place so much.


The day began with a traditional English breakfast of tomatoes, sausages, and toast. Afterwards, our host family took us to Westwood Cross Shopping Centre, where we did some shopping at Primark and bought some clothes. We also stopped for a cup of English breakfast tea.  


Back at home, we took a quiet nap to recharge for the evening. As the sun set, our host family prepared a delicious garden dinner. Sitting outside, we listened as they introduced the various flowers and bees in the garden, explaining how they nurture this small ecosystem.


After dinner, we began packing our luggage, carefully folding the clothes and souvenirs we’d collected over the past two weeks. Each item carried a memory. With only a few days left, we’re determined to make the most of every remaining moment in this beautiful country.

Memorable moments of other groups:












We made tomatoes and egg noodles , potatoes strips and Chinese tea for our host family Ms Eillen today. She enjoyed the meal very much. It was a new experience that we tried to cook Chinese food for our host family.

Day 2 - School day + Deal Castle

Day 2 16/7/2025 St. Lawrence College  →  Deal Castle Today started with the cries of seagulls. We got up early to attend classes on time at 8:30 a.m. Ms. Eileen prepared a hearty breakfast for us, offering many kinds of oatmeal, as well as chocolate bread and pancakes. After breakfast, Ms. Eileen drove us to St. Lawrence College for our classes. Our teacher, Mr. David, is friendly and funny, and his class was both easy and interesting.         At the most anticipated lunchtime, we enjoyed our packed lunch prepared by Ms. Eileen. There were many different types of food in the lunch bag, and the bread was wrapped in tin foil, which was very considerate. After lunch, school was over, and we were ready for our afternoon activities.                      Then, we walked to Ramsgate train station. We took the train to Deal Castle and then walked for 10 minutes to reach the castle. We stood in front of it and t...

Day 15 - Award Ceremony & Cricket

Day 15 29/7/2025 St. Lawrence College  → Broadstairs Cricket Club It’s the second-to-last day in the UK! We’re both excited and sad. We’ll miss the UK very much!   In class, we did a speaking activity where we described our whole UK trip in one word. Then, we made a thank-you card for Ms. Brown. It was very emotional! We even cried a little.             Afterward, we happily walked to the Broadstairs Cricket Club to try playing cricket. The teachers taught us how to throw the ball and how to hit it with a bat. It was thrilling to listen to their instructions! Before the lesson ended, we played a really fun game. Everyone was laughing as they left!     Following the amazing cricket activity, Ms. Brown picked us up early, and we went home to pack our things. Later, we went to a park to take some photos together. These are such great memories! We’ll miss the UK very much, and we hope we can come back again someday! By Pansy, Hazel...

Day 1 15/7/2025 Hong Kong  →  London Heathrow Airport  →  Ramsgate   We are so excited about today! Thank you so much, Mr. McDonald, for coming to see us at the airport. We arrived in the UK at 3:30 PM, and we were all very tired because of the long flight. We had a lot of plane food during the long journey. We met Mr. David, Ashley, and their two sons on the coach. They are very friendly and nice.                   Later, we met our host family in Ramsgate. Our host mum, Ms. Eileen, has many cute pieces of furniture and a charming fridge! She is a very good listener and always addresses our questions and provides advice. We are very excited about the upcoming days. It has been a tiring day. Since we need to get up early for classes, we'll all go to sleep at 11:00 PM after getting some snacks. This is the end of our day.   By Neva, Elsa, Jessie
