DAY 1
Today is a day planned by me. Vivien, Enrui and I met at Hampstead subway station at 10.30. We entered a beautiful alley called Flask Walk but there weren't many people because we hadn't reached dinner yet. We tried to find a place where we could sit and sketch but it didn't happen because of the rain. Following Flask Walk, we found a local restaurant in the UK, so we planned to go to Hampstead Heath Park after lunch. We are all Asians so we found that these foods did not fit our appetite.
After lunch, we walked towards the sights where the city line can be seen. Along the way, we exchanged many interesting things with each other and let us know each other better. Because my subject is about observing people's actions, I deliberately observed those passersby.
The next itinerary was to sketch on the bus. We took a bus and recorded things outside. This is a very interesting but also difficult task because I found that the pedestrians outside the car are basically passing by while driving in a public car. Only at the red light can I draw what I see as soon as possible. We ended up at Covent Garden and had dinner there together, it was a fulfilling day.

DAY 2
Today we met at the Natural History Museum and many parents brought their children to visit. Today is Vivien's day, but because there are many visitors, I can also do something about my project. Children will express their feelings more in motion, language and expression. I looked down from the second floor of the museum and a little girl jumped up and down happily. People flow around. Vivien is from Hong Kong so she taught us some Cantonese and we also told her some Shanghainese. I like this kind of communication very much. It makes me think we know each other's background better.

DAY 3
In Enrui's day, we first visited the Old Operating Museum. We are going to eat at Borough Market because it is next to Borough Market. We shared the food we bought as a rule in the Commue. This very lively market also allowed our three foreign students to experience British culture and food from other countries.
In the afternoon we took a break in a coffee shop and we went to Enrui's place to make dinner together. After we bought the ingredients in Sainsbury, we went to the kitchen in the dormitory. I never cooked dinner with others, which made me feel happy. Enrui has prepared the recipe so Vivien and I helped process some of the ingredients.
