Arely and Frank: Capitano students journey at the London Field Trip


Song of the day: Charlton’s Athletics anthem


           
Students journey at the London Field Trip 2016 was coming to an end on February 13th, 2016 . Frank and I decided to play the Charlton’s Athletics anthem song to get everyone familiar for the game we were going to go later in the afternoon. The rainy and windy weather in London that day was not going to stop us from enjoying our last hours together as a team in London.
The first stop was to the “Hampton Court Palace” a huge palace full of history from the magnificence of Henry VIII's favourite royal residence, It took us more than an hour to get there but it was all worth it as everyone was so looking forward to have our last lunch together, the famous “Fish and chips” at a little Local restaurant close to the Hampton station where we all waited to get our fresh and delicious meal that we had to take to the train as we were running out of time to get to our next destination. Everyone running with their boxes full of food that we couldn't wait to eat, we finally made it on time to catch our train towards Charlton where we were going to cheer for the Charlton vs Cardiff football game, not american football as you might be thinking but what we call in Canada “soccer”, in London they call it “football”, we had a great time at the game as it was contagious hearing people cheering for Charlton and all the passionate row of 10 year old kids we had in the back row yelling “ if you are Charlon stand up with us, if you are Charlon stand up with us”.




Text Box: “Let’s do it for the last time”            Finally, we were on our way back to the hotel to be able to fresh in up before having our last dinner together at the “Davy’s Wine Vault”, were we all played an activity our instructor Robin started, so every time after a course meal we would have to change seats and interact with different members of the group for the last time, and share our experiences. As the night went on Robin and Christine surprised us with some funny but pretty accurate awards that everyone received, we had titles such as “Lieutenant of the forgetful” that went to Hillary who surprisingly kept losing her “Oyster card” (like our Compass card) but it was always in some hidden place inside her bag . But wait a minute, we also had an award thank you card for Robin where we all expressed our thoughts and thankfulness towards him. This was the end and everyone felt so happy but at the same time sad that this amazing experience where we made new friends, faced challenges and acquired knowledge came to and end.
           
 The London Field Trip 2016 team wants to thank you for experiencing every day of this journey with us. Till next time…!


Arely and Frank are both studying in Bachelors of Business Administration. They have gone on the 2016 London Field Trip through Capilano University.

London Field School x2 - 2019

LONDON Field School x2 - Mia, Rose & Oscar 2019  On our last full day in London, We took two trains in the London Underground to get to Camden Markets. By this point in the trip we were tubes experts. Arriving in Camden Town, we walked to the "The Basement Tea House" so everyone knew where to come for our tea reservation a little later in the day - and good thing we did! We walked through narrow corridors amoung shop owners setting up their stalls, down a lift to the basement. In the heart of the markets were shops set up in what used to be horse stables that sold hats, jewellery, vintage clothes, fetish apparel, and of course, tea. From there we were set free to roam the markets at our own accord. With over 1000 unique vendors in the market there was a plethora of food and knick knacks to pursue, smell, and purchase. Some of the food that was consumed included: donuts, waffles, hand made pasta, milkshakes, pakoras, cereal, fried chicken crepes, among much, muc...

London Field School 2019: Day 1 – February 15 th Carley, Chloe and Maria Song of the Day: London Bridge, by Fergie Check out our trip video on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD33ii01kXI Our first day in London started at the Westminster Pier, from there we caught the ferry to the Greenwich Village. Thames River is the lifeblood of London, and as a result you will find many of the most popular tourist attractions on the river's banks. We enjoyed the views from the upper deck and when it got too windy, we used the opportunity to go down to the warm hall of the lower deck and get some coffee. The knowledgeable crew was giving a live commentary of all the sights along the way. You get great views of all the landmarks and learn a bit of history on them all. We saw the London Eye, Tower Bridge, Parliament, Military Ships, and so much more . Taken at Westminster Pier before we hopped on the Thames River Cruise! ...

Maryam, Larissa and Lauren: In This Place Where We All Belong Song of the day: The Hockey Song by Stompin’ Tom Connors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxJvrD80nJ4 We started off the day with a walking tour of Shoreditch. To get to Shoreditch, we boarded the Tube around 9:30 AM. This was our first time taking the Tube during the morning rush hour and we ended up having to split up and take two different trains. We regrouped at Liverpool station and after experiencing a little bit of confusion with Google Maps, we made our way to the Old Spitalfields Market. We met our tour guide, Emilie Houldsworth (you can follow her on Instagram) underneath the “Goat Statue” which we later learned symbolizes strength and independence of the British people. Emilie guided us through the streets of Shoreditch such as Brick Lane and explained the symbolism and inspiration for numerous art pieces by famous street artists such as Banksy, Stik, and Invader. She also touched on the history of Sho...
