Games are a part of family life

In staying in Sheffield, we are enjoying our homestay and learning the differences and common points between Japan and Britain. For example, people drive on the left side in both countries. However on Sunday, the shops in Britain close much earlier than those in Japan.

I'll describe my life with a family in England. In the morning, I eat cereal, toast or porridge with a cup of tea. Then, I go to the university by tram. Sheffield is very hilly and we get quite tired from walking.

One example of British breakfast: Porridge, a glass of orange juice and a cup of tea.

After coming back home, my host mother serves me a cup of tea and we talk about what we've done that day or culture of Japan and that of Britain. For example, British people don't use umbrellas when it rains. On the other hand, Japanese people often use them. One more point is that British people love a cup of tea! (My ELTC teachers even bring tea to class.) I have never seen such a behavior.

Thanks to the kindness of my host family, I have been enjoying my stay in Sheffield.
