Welcome To Amy's World

Hi, Welcome to my world. My name is Beautiful Amry from the land of Tonga known as the Friendly Island. I am in the Welsh capital of Cardiff on a 3 months journalism course sponsored by the Thomson Foundation. I am being surrounded with 25 friendly colleagues and they are from various countries around the world.

During my time here in Cardiff I have met friendly people and beautiful places such as Cardiff bay, Swansea beaches etc..

I have left one month to go and then I'll be missing my friends here in school. I have enjoyed my time here in the UK by touring other places like London, Port Tallyport, Talybont, Blackpool and etc...

Ha! Ha! Ha!....goes out my thick voice laughing.... Laughing makes my life go crazy everytime and that is the best moment ever of my life. Inside my flat I have two lovely ladies that I can call them Mamagi...Peggy and Big Sister....Mara....But that does not mean that I forgot about others....They are all my sisters and brothers....Love ya guys....

I hope you did find some interesting things about my world and hope you like it and see you soon....Cheers

STRUGGLE WITH COOKING…

I just celebrated my 24^th birthday. You know I’m a spoilt young girl and do basically nothing. Mum does everything for me.

Here I am in a strange land. I’m from Tonga and I’m in Cardiff on a scholarship for 3 months. Everything, right from food to clothing is different. Once in a shopping centre am lost as to what to pick - and what to buy - especially food.

Well, welcome to my lovely kitchen. This is where I want to be most of the time. I can meet my friends here, relax – and then -- my favourite thing --- eating.

But that’s where I have a problem. My Mum’s always cooked for me and with the food stuff here, I am lost as to how to cook for myself. What a crisis!

Can anybody help me please?

Yes, thank God for sending this lovely mate of mine to help me learn how to cook. Her name is Peggy Donkor from Ghana and she is my room mate. Every time I cook she always corrects me and tells me how to go about cooking...

But I get so impatient and can’t wait to eat. Many times I’ve turned off the heat to discover that it needs more cooking. I just can’t even hold my stomach back from being making noises and what makes my life go weird, is that I’ve always hungry when food is taking time to cook!

But on days I feel so tired and frustrated that I give up and off I go. Time for a burger! It does the trick…

Then I’m ok for the day.
