Yesterday, we had an IT training (which, for various reasons, I did not like very much).
Apart from this, we went for lunch together with people from the office ('welcome lunch' - and although the British people apparently say that 'there is no such thing as free lunch', this one was free!).
I got answers to some of my office-related questions, with no one telling me that s/he had no time for silly/useless/detailed questions on how the company operates. Yay!
I pinned a picture of one of Prague trams on my message board. One colleague immediately saw it, and was very curious about it!
I discovered one British beer I sort of liked; it was local and bio and organic, and unfortunately I forgot the name... What a pity, really.
I had Japanese beer in the evening, which was not bad.
I also opened some of the materials I need to study for my UK qualification, and I discovered that this would indeed be very, very funny.
Today, I took huge risk and tried to buy another English beer. And guess what: duuuh! I was not even able to finish the 0.5 l bottle! The label said 'golden ale' and 'contains barley'. I would like to know whether one of these is the one key phrase to avoid...
(I guess barley is not the problem. Maybe the 'ale' thing...? Any time we had something called 'ale' back in Czech Republic, it was ok, but this country is weird when it comes to beer, so maybe...?)
I also got my bus card today. It cost me £63 for 28 days, and it's only valid in buses, not trams! Unbelievable...
Tomorrow, I am moving to a new place. I sort of miss commuting, really; it does not have to be long, but at least 20 min is necessary to be able to read things in the bus. In the past week, I could walk to the office, which made me nervous - I felt like I had no time for reading, going through legislation, thinking and doing stuff I usually do in tram/metro!
