Hello again from London ka! Been a week since I came.
Though I haven't been out much yet, we started walking our two boys to school yesterday and went looking around a bit. Here are my observations ka:
1. The school is very strict to have its gate closed at 8.55 ka....after that, parents have to go through its main office to sign their names with reasons for being late. If they're late too often, they'd get warning letters ka.
My niece was saying that they were late a few times and the teachers were kind and empathetic, saying that they knew it was hard to manage for the kids to be in school well in time but they hoped not to send any warning letter ka.
I like this approach na ka, teaching both the kids and parents to be punctual and responsible ka.
2. Our two boys used scooters to go to school. Being quite well-trained, they'd wait for their mom when they needed to cross the streets and would do it when their mom told them so ka. Feel safer for them ka.
How could we compete with scooters? No way kraaa even how fast we walked, making me and my sister try to walk faster so it was like this ka...the two boys far ahead, followed quite closely by their mom/my niece, me, and then a little far behind, my sister.
3. Today kids wear yellow to signify 'Mental Health' Day.....happy they give high priority to this aspect since life has been tougher and it's good for kids to learn from their very young age ka.....will have to ask my two boys what they do at school!
The school has come up with quite a few nice and exciting activities too. This coming Thursday, it's Harry Potter Day ka. Harry Potter costumes and props like wands are ready for them to have fun ka.
4.. A bit about the area where we're staying ka:
4.1 We see many with pets (in fact dogs only) and it seems that most places are pet friendly too ka.....people are more lonely or less needed for a full human family mai ka?
4.2 Smell cigarette smoke to think that it seems more have become smokers?!?!...my niece said she smelled the mix of cigarettes and pot ka:((!
4.3 It shows a true meaning of diversity as there is a good mix of various races ka.
4.4 The trash is easily separated into 2 categories, namely, paper for recycles and the rest ka.
4.5 Self check-out at supermarkets and department stores have become part of daily life ka. There are assistants but more booths are for one's own management.
I'm slowly adjusting to the changing ways ka. Will keep observing ka.
Cheers.
