Today, we were brought to site visit. This visit was far interesting than the previous. We were received a very welcoming reception from the staff there. I joked with my lecturer whether refreshment was provided. To my surprise, it was.
Although it rained, we felt the happiness in our hearts. Everyone was so excited with what they were doing. We were brought to visit many houses which are still under renovation. My group was so unlucky that the tenant pissed off with our visit to his house and shouted at the staff. The staff joked that she would be shouted again soon after today. Poor her. We were brought to have a close look to the roof renovation. We climbed the scaffolding, we took pictures, we discussed, we joked, we listened to the explanation of the roof worker about the construction method. It was so joyous.
We were told about a grass roof construction. Many of them were surprised with such roof. In Malaysia, you will never see grass roof. I am so impressed with the UK policy for environmental-friendliness. Every is about green. Unlike Malaysia, what the developers want is profit, speed of construction but low in quality. It is no wonder I feel so peaceful and relaxing staying in the UK. I was not surprised with the grass roof as I knew it from the England class. Of course i was surprised to be told about the grass roof at the first time.
This site visit had brightened the day. I am so grateful with all the efforts of The University. In Tar college, no one will bother to organise such activity to us. Like I said, profit is the utmost importance to them. I feel in love with the UK educational system now. However, from this site visit I start to feel weird. Why English prefer to have a bigger garden and the their houses r so small? Is it set in UK construction law? I want have the answer.
