Exclusively from England: Mmmm, kaj bo dobrega // Mmmm what's cooking

Angleži imajo res poseben smisel za hrano. Obožujejo namreč hrano, ki nima okusa (pa brez zamere, prosim :)).
English people really have a specific taste in food. They love the food with no flavour (and please don't resent me for saying that :)).

Prvi teden sem veselo preizkušala vsako jed, ki sem jo dobila na krožnik. Tudi če stvar ni izgledala preveč dobro, sem bila pripravljena tvegati. Toda kmalu sem ugotovila, da ima ne glede na videz vsa hrana podoben okus.
First week I was happy to try every dish that came on my plate. Even when it didn't look too good I was willing to try it. But I soon discovered that no matter how it looks like, the food tastes the same.

Exclusively from England: Remember remember the fifth of November

Živim v prijetni soseski v Pyrfordu, delu Surreya, jugozahodnega predmestja Londona. V okolici je ogromno zelenih površin in parkov. Surrey je poznan po bogatih soseskah, kot sta Weybridge in Cobham, ter po univerzi University of Surrey, ki je ena izmed 20 najbolj uspešnih univerz v Veliki Britaniji.

I live in a nice neighbourhood in Pyford, part of Surrey, south-west suburbs of London. There are many green parks nearby. Surrey is known for rich neighbourhoods like Weybridge and Cobham and for University of Surrey, that's one of the 20 most successful universities in the UK.

Pretekli teden je minil predvsem v vzdušju praznovanja 5. novembra, imenovanega bonfire night, fireworks night ali Guy Fawkes night.

Last week was filled with celebration of 5th of November, known as bonfire night, fireworks night or Guy Fawkes night.

V soboto, 3. novembra, sem šla pogledat največji kres v Veliki Britaniji v Brockham. Kljub mrazu se je v centru mesta zbrala velika množica ljudi. Vzdušje je bilo super, vendar pa me je bolj kot sam kres navdušil zaključni 15-minutni ognjemet. 

On the Saturday, 3rd November I went to see the biggest bonfire in the UK in Brockham. It was quite cold but that didn't stop people from coming - there were many. It was a great atmosphere but I was even more thrilled by the 15-minute fireworks in the end.

Lep pozdrav iz deževne Anglije.

Hello from rainy England.

Moje ime je Urša. Mateji poznam že kar nekaj časa, spoznale pa smo se na zanimiv način. Kot sta že sami omenili v uvodnih stavkih – hvala, Omar. :)

My name is Ursha and I've known both Matejas for quite some time. We met in an unusual way and as they've mentioned it before - thanks, Omar! :)

Na začetku poletja sem se odločila, da za nekaj časa zapustim Slovenijo in se podam na enoletno preizkušnjo. Kar nekaj časa je trajalo, preden sem spoznala zanimivo družino, s katero bom preživela naslednje leto in postala njihova "au pair". 

At the beginning of summer I've decided to leave Slovenia for some time and start a one year experience. It took me quite some time to meet an interesting family and I'm going to spend a whole year with them and be their "au pair".

Glede na to, da pričakujem veliko zanimivih izkušenj, izzivov ter spoznanj, sem se odločila, da bi lahko nekatere delila na blogu. Mateji sta mi prijazno odstopili tedensko rubriko na blogu in upam, da jo bom znala zapolniti z zanimivimi zgodbami.

I expect to get some interesting experiences, face challenges and get new knowledge, so I decided to blog about my year. Matejas allowed me to post weekly on their blog and I hope to fill the post with interesting stories. 

Se slišimo naslednji teden!

Read you next week!
