The first impress in London2---the weather in summer

Before i came here my English tutor told me about London people they love each other in summer and hate each other in winter. fortunately i came here now, the weather is very lovely, the sky always blue not like beijing where the blue sky never continue over one day until raining or blowing. and the most surprised me is the sunset almost 10:30pm. when i walking on the street at 9:00pm just like at the afternoon. and i had a jat lag on the first week so i always confused about the time. but anyway i am going to used it very soon. and this week i am going to Hyde Park during the wonderful weather.

First impress in London-Heathrow airport

Hard journery

British border

With the hangover face after send-off party i took the airplane from Beijing to London at 18 June 2010 Beijing time ,after 13 hours flight i finally arrived in London heathrow airport. standing the other side of British border about more than 100 hunderd foreigners waiting for immigate officer to check their passport. i felt quite nervous about that don't know why~~~just got this feeling at that time. Waiting almost 40mins i came to a officer who look like indian she looked at my passport and then asked me to show her my university's invitation letter. I was shocked a few seconds, i didn't have a copy of my university's offerletter at all , so i try to calmdown and told her i havn't take my offerletter and why i must show it? Apparently the officer impatient to explain to me and just said every student come from China must take school's letter. and then she told me i must find some document to proof I am a student of UAL. So i have no choice to take my case aside to find it. At that time i am really feel no good if i havn't university's CAS i never get a chance to get my visa why i must take a copy of the letter, very strange....can't catch the idea of British border agency.After stirring up my case i finally found i have the bill of China bank exchange that i use it to pay my tuition fee. God save me above the bill have a name of UAL !!! I showed it to that officer, She checked it and then gave a paper ordered me to a healthcheck room.

Health Room

" Sit down Sit down please" an over 40 years old woman almost shout to me. I found a bench to sit and looked around there are 3 Chinese and 1 coulpe look like from the middle East. obviously we were all nervous. After a while another woman asked our Chinese to some seperate rooms. I am asked to take off my cloth and wear a hospital white gown to waiting to a X-ray test. "I already told you to take off you cloth...."the woman yells at one of Chinese when i waiting in a small room. it's quiet rude maybe they just tired to repeat this boring job everyday. But i have no time to think about them i began to worry about my health, 14hours journey after hangover i should be sick.....but for lucky i success to be allowed to entry the sun-never-set Empire United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
