Happy birthday to me! The Rainforest Cafe, the Shard Bar and My Flat Party

Image
There are about 6 very famous theme restaurant in London, as a vet student, I would like to make all my life related to animals, thus I chose the Rainforest Cafe  as the place to have my birthday meal. All my friends are excited.  There are two floors in the cafe, the ground floor have a lot of toys to sell, but they are free access, we have taken lots of pictures with cutie animals there. The basement level is the proper restaurant, and both floors are decorated like a real rainforest.  It doesn't matter how old you are, you can still be a child:) While we are eating, sound of rainstorm was played frequently, made it feel like we are really in the rainforest somehow.

Surprisingly, a Chinese with very few Chinese friends but a lot of British friends. " Jiayue, you know," said my manager," you are really different from other Chinese,you are too easygoing and too native now." Yes, that's me. I have been to UK for only 2 years and half, but I think myself getting along with local people in a 'China developing rate'. If you are fresher coming to UK, you probably find people here are a bit 'too polite and somehow cold'. However, that is absolutely not the real case. Most of them are extremely easy going and kind, but you do need some tips to make sure getting along well with them. I am now sharing my tips and experience with you, hopefully you will find them useful. Tip one: free yourself from your little prison!  So many international students lock themselves inside their rooms, watching tele, eat in ,only go out occasionally with people from their own country... Stop doing that please! You have to j...
