After a long day’s train travel from London to Leeds we arrived at Haworth youth hostel (probably the nicest youth hostel in the country – a victorian mansion). The change of atmosphere has done us a world of good – everyone is excited, happy, and peaceful. It has been a chance to contemplate on everything we’ve learnt in London and to spend some time reflecting on the expedition. We had an art jam session in the evening and it was great to be free to create whatever we wanted and be calm and have fun…freedom
I’m here with Ali, Fire, invisible man, sam, Saeed AKA menace, Jilad, and Muhsin. You do realise some of these are nicknames…! These young students are mostly from Bengladesh, having settled in the UK long ago.
I’m going to ask these guys to write something each for themselves starting here:-

Today, we went to a youth magazine (LIVE EAST) and we were all given different tasks. Some people went out to interview people on the street, some when to photograph street fashion, some compared music taste with students from the UK and the rest wrote opinion articles on topics they were interested in. Later, we went to BBC to meet with a journalist and ask him any questions we liked.
