Hi everyone! I arrived safe and sound in Wolverhampton and am sitting in my cosy little room now. Getting here caused a bit of trouble since my hand luggage was too big, I vomited in the car and I had to take my boots off since they had metal bits in them…but I survived! Once I arrived in Wolverhampton I was utterly and completely lost since this Campus is about ten times as big as the Zernike campus, but even that I have survived!

I`m now in a dorm with 3 girls from the Czech Republic, and they talk funny language with each other. I thought they were Russian first, but alas..they`re not awesome enough for that. Sooooo I live right next to a ginormous supermarket (literally a 1 min walk) where I wandered around for about an hour yesterday, failing to find the stuff I needed but loving the stuff I did find.

Today I decided to go explore Wolverhampton itself and it truly is a gorgeous city centre! I`ve heard people saying Wolverhampton wasn`t pretty but compared to the Netherlands it`s wonderful (though maybe I can`t see the beauty of the Netherlands because I live there). The main street has absolutely everything you need! Starbucks, Marks & Spencer’s, Topshop, Boots, River Island, Next and of course Primark! (And many many many more). After I reached Primark I decided to go home again though, since my bags were already getting too heavy. What I got? Let`s start with the boring essential stuff… A can opener, an oven wand, 2-in-1 washing liquid and softener in weird capsules which you toss into your laundry, two towels (blue and pink) and a laundry basket (purple). And now the awesome things: A black/shiny/romantic/floral bag, a koala pyjama (TOO CUTE), sheep to keep mah feet warm and free shoes!

Free shoes? YES FREE SHOES!!! They charged me twice for the bag at the Primark and they forgot to check the shoes so I returned (since I had paid 8 pounds too much, even if they had counted the shoes) and they returned me 10 pounds, saying I got the shoes for free since it was their fault. Now do your maths on how much the shoes would have cost if I hadn`t received them for free…that`s how cheap Primark is!

P.S. I`ve added a new photo album to the Wolverhampton tab, it has 2 pages with pictures of Wolverhampton and my dorm!
