Birmingham (12/27/14 - 12/28/14 - 12/29/14)

Tired of the day before, I leave Plymouth at 11am, in the direction of BIRMINGHAM. Generally, the journey takes 3:20, but I'm very lucky and the journey lasted 5:30 due to accidents and traffic jam. So I arrived around 7pm, but I had not booked a hotel or hostel.
I had two hostel addresses, I went to the first at Milky street : Birmingham Central Backpacker.

This is cozy and very welcoming. This is a cozy and very Everyone is talking about, no matter the nationality.

To prove the second night , I went into a pub with a South African , Canadian and Italian. I think the hostel is the best place for meeting and discovering news cultures.



On Sunday , I had nothing to do, so I visited the city center. The central point is the Bullring , a shopping center with more than 160 stores . Immense. For everyone and all incomes.
Strange little thing: work on Sundays ! We will look later why .
Because of its size and importance , more than 36 million people come here throughout the year. It is the largest shopping center in Europe . My ladies , you know where to come now (it's winter sales more).

Let's talk about the most serious part : the internship !

A friend who did his internship in Birmingham gave me the company contacts where he worked : Fair Deal Music. I 've contacted and so here I am in Birmingham.

As you can see from the beginning, I collect the galleys (it's my fault ) . So I arrived at the Fair Deal Music store on Monday morning, nobody was aware of my arrival.

It was normal , I was just not at the right place . My course runs at the warehouse and not at the store. The trouble is that the warehouse is at the other end of town . After a few minutes of waiting, a manager came to get me and my internship begins .  Oh yeah , what I will do in this course? Normally communication , marketing and "e -commerce" .
