dinner set uk image
I'm writing a story set in my mum's school, Westminster, but I feel that not she nor I have enough experience with boarders to write a realistic story. Any simple information, social information, etc., on boarding schools would be adored. (google isn't doing much, LOL.)
OHMAHGAAHHH this is EVERYTHING I needed. Thank god. I love you so much. YOU ARE MY SAVIOUR.
:D
You totally deserve the 10 points you're getting.
Answer
I went to a boarding school ( ENGLAND ) I HATED IT ! I lasted a whole term - i think you call them semesters.
Wellll basically:
There is about 3 -5 people in a dorm
You get woken up by your House Mistress ( basically a teacher who acts like a mother figure in the house )
You go down to breakfast with the other boarders - usually something like cold sausages and luke warm milk and cereal.
Then you have lessons
Then you have break where you eat LOADS OF TOAST :)
Then you have more lessons
Then you have lunch where you get to socialise with your friends
Then at my school we had this thing called carosel which is basically where your divided into groups within your year group and do a random activity that you don't get to choose, e.g fencing, self defence, photography etc.
Then you have lessons
Then you have sport
Then you have dinner
Then you have prep - where you do your homework
Then you have some free time
Then lights out by 9.
Eughh i HATED it.
It's torture, and you don't get to chose who you share a room with.
there is some SERIOUS bitchy ness
and it isn't all inocent, people have sex in the chapel YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT.
eugh grose.
:] hope i helped ?

How much would I be expected to spend in a week in Paris, France?
FashionFie
I am visiting Paris, France for a week and I am wondering how much I would be expected to spend per day on the essentials like food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc.) and transportation whether it's a bus, train or a cab.
I will be taking like $2,000 extra cash and I want to know if that's enough.
I would like to dine in inexpensive cafés, I'm sure there has to be some.
Also, what is the sales tax?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Answer
Paris is pretty expensive and France in general is expensive to eat out. However, you can fine good small restaurants. Most places will have several levels of set menu, each with several choices for starter, main course and dessert. Or a price for a starter and main or a main and dessert. These menus are often good value and are much cheaper than using the a la carte menu. Look out for the Plat du jour (dish of the day), which is usually the best value of all.
Working as a waiter is a career in France rather than something done mostly by kids like in the USA or UK and the waiters make proper money, which is reflected in the prices..
Alcohol can be really expensive especially if you order drinks at an outside table at a smart place. 1,500% mark up over the supermarket price of drinks isn't uncommon.
Don't take all your money in cash. ATMs will work fine and everywhere will take cards. But be aware of the charges on your card.
Sales tax and service are usually included in the prices displayed. You won't be expected to tip an additional 15 or 20% like you are in the USA.
