When I first went to the UK, I felt that I was really a "newborn calf not afraid of tigers", because my city was not very close to London, and when there was no class on the weekend, I suddenly wanted to go to the British Museum in London to see, and because I was a Chelsea fan, I also wanted to go to the team's home stadium, Stamford Bridge Stadium, to "make a pilgrimage".
Our city to London has a one day travel ticket, which includes round-trip train tickets, and all london buses and tubes are also available, so there is no need to apply for an additional London bus and underground card or download any travel app.
When I arrived in London, I visited the British Museum with my classmates in a complicated mood (you will feel the same way when you see all kinds of rare treasures that have been robbed), they all went to Chinatown for Chinese food, and I planned to visit the stadium alone.
Turning on the navigation accurately told me how to get to the stadium by public transport, but at this time there was an embarrassing problem, I couldn't find the subway!
Because the Google Map shows the subway, my first reaction to the subway is the subway, and then I look for the subway sign everywhere, but because the London subway is a bomb shelter transformation, it is generally directly underground instead of a glass pavilion like the domestic subway station as a clear sign, so it is still difficult to find.
So I asked a white mom in my spoken language, which had just arrived in the UK: Could u plz guide me where can I take subway?
The white aunt was friendly and said she could take me along, and then asked me on the way if I was Chinese, so, with the help of this kind aunt, she sent me to subway, yes! It's the Subway that eats it.
I hurriedly told her, no no! I wanna go downstairs！ Saying and making a gesture up and down, this time the aunt finally understood, sent me to the subway station, and told me that the subway here is not called subway, called underground, and I finally got on the subway.
After three years of school and work in the UK, every time I take the subway I can always think of this funny experience, indeed there are still many differences between English and American, and then I often make a fool of myself because of the problem of British and American English, but this is also a unique experience in my study abroad life
