The first day at University of Bristol by Mphoeng–Elephants of Botswana

I was dropped at the University by Ruth in the morning. She had photocopied a map that I was to follow to get to the house after lecturers. I did not have an England mobile number to be able to communicate with Ruth if I got lost after lectures. When I got out of the University in the afternoon, I had lost direction completely I did not even know the direction we came from when Ruth dropped me. I immediately went back into the Biological Sciences asked for directions from the porters. They did all their best to direct me one of them even said he should be to blame if I went missing; he said it will mean he directed me wrongly. I went into the road as directed to try to get home. I must say reading a map is something that I do not do often even at school I opted for History and did not do Geography. Should I have known I will have studied Geography that is a subject that I need in Bristol, map reading. I walked down the streets of Bristol with this piece of paper to direct me home asking people that I met with for directions. At last I saw a gentleman presumably was waiting for buses. I asked him to help with the directions whilst he was still helping out other gentleman who was walking down the street came in to help with directions too. He looked at the map tried to direct me and he said oh! I can even drop you there my car is just parked on the other side of the road.

He was very talkative talking about football world cup football is my knowledgeable subject all recent world cups starting from 1998 I would still remember the teams that had gone to the semifinal stages. As a consequence of him be talkative I did not even had an opportunity to get his name so I was concerned.

When we arrived at Ruth place, I asked him what your name he replied, Malcom. When I got home Ruth asked were you able to find home, I replied Malcom dropped me home. She asked who is Malcom? I told her that I was asking for directions on the street and he offered to drop me. It is amazing people in Bristol are very helpful.

Thank you Malcom!
