Kit Sam British Summer Immersion Program 2019

When it's about cultural immersion, how can we not talk about food culture? Today, after the morning classes, we walked to the other side of the campus to have our cooking class. What are we going to cook??? The evergreen afternoon snack in England -- scones! Rubbing the butter into the flour -- too many cooks?? Haha~ making into a dough Ready to put the doughs into the oven Ta Da!~ our pretty scones... Adding a dollop of cottage cream and strawberry jam, with a cuppa English tea -- PERFECT!

We had our regular classes in the morning. We had our regular classes in the morning. After the morning classes, we walked to a place to enjoy another cultural experience -- movie watching! This cinema is HUGE!! This is the movie ticket, just like a supermarket receipt! The movies didn't have English subtitles, which was a bit hard to follow what the characters were saying, but luckily we were watching an animation and is simple enough to understand!

It's another Sunday -- Host family day! It feel so good that we don't need to go to school and get to sleep in. We did different things with our host families. Some of us went to the beach, some of us went shopping at Westwood Cross (a big shopping area) and some of us went sightseeing with the host family. We all had a wonderful time during the day and went home for dinner.

Today we went to Dover Castle in the afternoon. It is an important castle back in the Medieval Time. Its coast is closest to France so Dover is an important port. The castle was set on the mountain overlooking the harbour.

However, we all enjoyed the tour and we all spent a fortune buying gifts and souvenirs, haha! A

For the afternoon activity today, was a sport called Croquet. We had no idea what this sport is until we reached the Croquet Club. It is a sport played among a lot of senior people because it doesn't require a lot of running. We thought it would be boring but actually we got excited while playing this game because Croquet is all about strategies rather than strength! The club members explaining the rules and regulation Discussing strategies to beat the opposing pair Nice hit! Girls team won! We were served cakes, snacks and drinks after 3 rounds of Croquet
