1. There came a new flat mate, a girl from Japan, to our flat. She is really nice and for me she is typical Japanese. Today I was in the city for a sightseeing tour. I saw the quay, which I find really nice. Exeter is Genial City with wonderful old houses. The loveseat place is the cathedral. This building is fantastic. I can't believe that in 13- century the people were able to build this very big monument. But also I observed that in the city centre is a lot of tramps.
2. I noticed that the Asian people overtime cook together. They invited each other and one of them cooks for all. After dinner they go to their rooms and I don't know what they are doing there. This is a big difference to my culture.
3. My impression from the English culture has changed. This culture is better than I thought. But I noticed at my sightseeing tour that their are many English people who look very neglected although there are also people who look civilised. Well, in Britain exists upper and higher class. Isn't there any middle class?
4. Mastering the presentation technique and especially the English language. So I think it is very useful passing the business course now. The other point is to stay some times abroad{***} for example in England or Spain. In my curriculum vitae it looks very nice if I can show some stays abroad and some practical course in different companies
