Sharing the experience of living alone in England at the age of 17.✨
Hello, today I'm going to share the experience. Back in February 2023, we had the opportunity to be alone in England for nine days.
I came to live alone because it is half term of the school. Usually we can reserve HOS and the school, but at that time I was not able to book, so there are 2 options: come back to Thailand or rent a house in England. If coming back to Thailand, I will only spend a few days in Thailand. The ticket is very expensive because I booked suddenly, so I recommend parents to rent a house for me to live in England. I rented the house through Airbnb. I gave it to the reservation house. I can't say that I am 100% alone because I am actually alone with the landlord, but the landlord is almost not home. Hahahahaha
The worst thing is that we can't cook at all. 😭 If we can't go out to buy everyday, we decided to buy freezer foods for 9 days. Because when we bought them, we forgot to see the expiration date. It turned out that all the food we bought expired on the same day. 😭😭 I have to throw it all away. I feel very sorry for the money. When the landlord was there, we told him that we can't cook, so I took us out to the super market to buy fresh items. I would say that I have never done it before. I didn't know the selection of fresh items. The landlord taught us to buy. At that time, I laughed at myself. Very much. Why can't only do the basic thing?
When I came back home, I tried to cook. The first menu was fried Thai. It was fried Thai that the owner of the foreigner taught me to do, hahahaha. It was Thai, but the foreigner taught me how to cook Thai food. The face didn't look like fried Thai, but it was very delicious. After that, I started to cook by myself. By following the common sense. And the second time I made it out and it turned out that I couldn't eat it. But luckily, I had rice and mackey taken from Thailand that day, so I ate only empty rice with McKee, hahahaha. I felt that I couldn't cook at all, so I went out to buy ready-made noodles to eat and then chose to go out. Eating outside every day is afraid that the kitchen will burn, but still lucky that he has breakfast every day, also cereal, like this, usually can eat. After we come back to Thailand, tell my mother to teach to cook. 🥲
Being alone is really lonely, especially abroad like us do not know anyone. Most of the friends who study together are in different cities, but there are advantages. We have done many things by ourselves. We do not want to be in the room all day, so we like to go out for a walk every evening. The weather of the house is very good. And also try to ride the train alone for the first time. We took the train from the city we lived to our friends in Manchester. It was a very good experience.
Finally, this self-guided life has taught you a lot of things, and cooking, even if you can't do it, living in unfamiliar places, trying and doing a lot of things, is a good experience.
