Well, just doing a little pre-trip information gathering I have determined a list of things I probably need to study before getting on the plane:
1. World, and U.K. soccer, cricket, and rugby stats and systems. How it works, who's big, who's the underdog, what's going on in the sport in general, and most importantly, how do you play?
2. Clubs at the University of Brighton. It would be awesome if I could join a sailing club. Sailing is one of my all-time favorite hobbies, and what better place to sail than the coast of England?
3. I have discovered through some research I have done that Brighton is one of the most popular, recreational, ocean front vacation spots in England. It's probably the most famous. But I need to discover more of it's history. When was it founded originally? Who founded it? The British? The French? The Romans?
4. How the tube works.
5. Common slang words for things.
6. Important towns/cities and their locations in England.
7. Popular television shows
8. Popular celebrities
9. Recent events and news.
10. Popular past times of young people... are they a politically involved culture? Do they tend to be more apathetic about things? What are their interests?
Hopefully, I will find the answers to these questions and get more information on the subjects, when I do, I will post a blog about it!
This is just the beginning of a LOAD of information dissemination on my part.
Hope the info becomes useful, or at least a nice look back over my journey.
Til next time!
Ciao
Hannah
