Public transport, cash points in shops and food

Hello everybody!

I've been here for almost a week and finally I know which bus stops are the right ones. :-) It was difficult to remember the places because every house looks the same way. In Bournemouth and in the surrounding area are two buses common. The blue and the yellow ones.
To be honest, I don't understand why there are two different buses because they stop on the same bus stops and go to the same places. If you ask me, it is a bit strange...
Anyway, there are several things which are different to Switzerland.

First: If you are waiting and the bus is arriving you have to show the bus driver that you want to take his bus. You have to lift your arm and point to the road. Otherwise he won't stop.

Second: The people here always stand in a line to get in the bus. I think this is good because it is faster. In the bus you show your ticket or buy one. There is no possibility to get in the bus without a ticket.

After all the public transport near Bournemouth and Poole is good. I have a lot of buses and don't have to wait longer than 20 minutes. It's comfortable.

As you have probably read in the headline the cash points in the bigger shops are well-organized. There is only one line to wait and you see on a screen to which number you have to go for paying.
You even get a ticket to go into a fitting room to try on your clothes! I was astonished.

My last topic for today is food. First, I have to say that my host mum is a good cook! We always have enought to eat and even more. We can choose between different sorts of cereal for breakfast and there is even a dessert after dinner! I am happy.
But in general the British food isn't so good. I prefer to go to an Italian or Spanish restaurant. Yesterday, we had Pizza in an Italian restaurant and it was delicious. The food at school is eatable but not better.

I hope I could tell you something new about the UK.
Have a nice day!
