When I finished my two weeks in the school I started my work. My work is a volunteer in the British Heart Foundation, in my work I have to follow customers, answer the phone and help my colleagues .

In the evening together with some guys known to school we organized some beautiful evening where we went to a pub for drink a beer or we went to the night club for dance and fun.

Then I visited most places such as Cardiff Stadium of rugby, Cardiff Castle, Cardiff Bay, Llandaff Cathedral, Penarth and the City centre.

Thanks,

Federico Gariboldi.
