Welcome to Plymouth!

We arrived to Plymouth on Sunday, after driving down from London in a hired coach. On our way through the countryside, we passed Stonehenge and stopped at a small rest area for our driver to have a break and to get lunch. We tried the chips (french fries), chicken, cheeseburger, ham sandwiches, and sausage at the restaurant. We also saw a school group who had been on a school field trip to the Dartmoor National Park on Sunday.

Once we arrived in Plymouth, we were given keys to our dorm rooms at the University of Plymouth. After settling in for an hour, we met the students from the three MSU masters programs already being hosted by the University of Plymouth. We all had a small bbq in the courtyard by our dorms, where we got to talk to the other students, find out the countries in which they teach, and get acquainted with our new surroundings. Following the bbq, we went to the local pub, "The Fresher & The Professor," to watch the UEFA Cup final game between Germany and Spain.
