Hey guess what? I finally decided I need to finish what I started lol. Here's my impressions blog Part II! If you want to read Part I click this link!
In this part I will continue posting random pictures (and by random I mean RANDOM) with stories from few months ago with impressions of UK since I came here. Enjoy!
I seriously love pound stores. So many goody goodies! Like this cereal for example. It has tiny marshmallows!! Could it be cuter?? The caption? Actually I dedicated this pic to my dear friend Lola, she hates marshmallows and I just can't help but think about her when I see them. xDD Sorry, I love you girl. (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
I saw this poster in the VUE cinema, asdfghjkl; it was so cute! (I hate my old phone's camera) As many of you know this is the strawberry and piece of cake from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. Why it's rating is so small??? I think I'll rewatch this movie today. It's just too brilliant. :'D
Talking about cinemas...did you know that you can watch some few months old animated movies in Cineworld Saturday/Sunday around 10am for £1.50??? Crazy!!! (=⌒▽⌒=)
Having fun with English language. Even though I know what they meant...IT'S JUST TOO FUNNY!!! I mean seriously, who of the people who created English language decided to call ghost, the one that haunts old houses the same as god's spirit lol. Oh by the way, it was closed. The ghost might ran away from it's zone... *coughs* sorry I'll stop now. (no offence towards anyone. this is purely my stupid joke, I am tolerant as long as your beliefs doesn't hurt other people)
Sunsets are beautiful wherever you are... ♥
I had a job in a press for a few months in New Duston, Northampton and it would usually end at this perfect sunset time. Sadly it wasn't a perfect time for bus catching so I would usually come late and had to wait half an hour for another one...
...but who cares when you've got pasta!!! Hahahaha.
Oh yeah, at the end of the summer I found out that I am a freak when it come to ice cream. Why there are so many different tastes??!! I NEED TO TASTE THEM ALL へ(゜∇、°)へ
Oh yeah we tried the famous Nando's restaurant. Wasn't bad at all! Especially the never ending glass of the drink of your choice lol. And I just had to take the infamous bathroom selfie. The window was just too big not to... *guilty* (〃▽〃)
No wonder there are so many overweight people. There are soooo many ready food only left to cook in an oven for like 20 minutes. It is tasty but it is full of bad fat.
After eating all those ready meals for few months we just started to prepare similar food almost from scratch. It's so much healthier! Yes, it takes more time but it is so much fun! More people should try that... Experimenting is awesome. ヾ(。◕ฺ∀◕ฺ)ノ
Pasta bake!!! Yummy~ OMG haven't baked this for so long... ♥
I finally bought new phone and started taking better quality pictures. (^v^)
Lithuanians will understand this one looooool... (hint: it's a swear word) (ノ>▽<。)ノ
And here started the longing for home...
Found a whole shelf full of Lithuanian sweets for 1 pound. These are so good! ♥
Got a postcard from my sis. She knows how I love owls. Brought tears to my eyes.
And sent this music key friendship necklace to my best friend. Miss her so much... ♥
One of the most important impressions I wanted to mention from the start. It's so different from Lithuania. Whenever you look up to the sky you will always see a plane here or there or at least a trail. It really amazes me and makes me realise how small we are living in this big country.
Stay impressed. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

First impressions: Part I
Finally - blog post about my journey and first impressions of UK.
I was so confused and scared that I couldn't sleep so I just lied in my bed full of thoughts and slept only like 2 hours... ( ̄□ ̄)
As you know I now live in UK. Trying to make a better life for myself and my family in Lithuania. Yes, I'm a good girl lol.
And now - prepare for a nice blog post with loads of photoooos!!! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
My boyfriend and I came here by agency which is total sh!t if you ask me which told us that we're departing the next day! Now that's awesome lol not. So my mom and I packed all night till it was only few hours left...

We travelled by bus which was one of the most horrific experiences I've recently had lol... The first impression when entering UK - a lot of green fields, sheeps and new shiny cars. Haha.
My first city. Northampton.
We've settled in a hotel for a week. And this is what we've realised about our stay in Ibis hotel:
Northampton is a really calm and peaceful city lol. Not many shops, not impressive city centre. Northampton looked kinda small to me. I'm used to bigger cities more haha.
Sightseeing!
I realised that there's soooo many pigeons here!!! So I took a photo of this fabulous pigeon in front of the nice church in the city centre:
Fabulous!
There was this fake owl sitting on top of this...thing... And I really had no idea why the hell would it sit there:
But the thing that really captured my eyes were these metal spikes on the sides:
Okay so this is just creepy. I noticed there are a lot of these spikes on top of important buildings, fancy fences and so on. So it should protect buildings from pigeons and their crap but sometimes I just watch how they just sh!t everywhere doesn't giving a damn about those spikes lol. ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌
I learnt something during my sightseeing...
Sometimes the easiest job is the hardest...
You had one job...
Sleeping in the church's graveyard is prohibited... (╥_╥) ...
Sunsets are beautiful everywhere... Doesn't matter where you are... 。◕‿◕。
And so while staying in a hotel I finally tasted the real British breakfast!
Taken with my old phone so excuse me lol.
I actually loved everything about this breakfast except beans. Omg that sauce and those beans were so disgusting!! I usually love beans but this was just eww... But you know what? I think you need to get used to it because now after some time I like them hahaha.
During the first weeks in UK I was almost sure that I will get hit by a car or something. It took me quite a lot of time to switch road sides. I always would look at the wrong side while crossing the road and I was feeling like a moving bowling pin lol...
Yeaaaah that's about it...
The journeys home like these were scariest haha. Sitting on top of the big tall bus. I was already scared that it might just lose control and fall on the side when it was driving so fast in roundabouts but it also freaked me out because of the side it was riding. Gosh it always scared the hell out of me thinking that it's driving the wrong side and this car coming in front is gonna crash into us. loooool (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜
What I love about UK - sooo many beautiful parks! Small or big - you just choose which one!
So the day to the park - my boyfriend decided to do a photoshoot with the clothes he actually bought for me hahaha XD

Walking a long rooooad. Actually grass. A lot of grass.
I'm totally serious right now.
And guess what? First time in my life I saw a square hot air balloon!! So funny!
Aaaaaand my first every ice cream truck I saw in real life.
Yes, I kept running to the window few more weeks whenever I heard that music lol へ(゜∇、°)へ
So I'm gonna finish this first part of my first impressions blog post with this deliciously looking pie topped with sh!tloads of whipping cream together with huge cup of yummy coffee. ♥(ノ´∀`)♥
Stay impressed, eat something yummy and wait for the part II!~
