Hardest and Best Things about living in UK
« on: December 04, 2003, 11:43:49 PM »
So far - London's the best part. Cultural offerings, diversity, so many interesting things to see, so many restaurants.

The worst part is of course being away from family. And when I am surrounded by a large group of Brits, I feel that I'm a bit of an outsider. Things to have be explained to me, etc.

Oh, and the signposting on the roads is dreadful.

     Hehehehehe  [smiley=laugh4.gif]

 Yes I agree the Cultural offerings and diversity,plus the beauty of the country along with all the history of it.

 Taking for granted the things you had in your own country,and missing what made your state or city,town...special.Those are the things that make it hard for me.

Hmm-- Best things would have to be the architecture (Natural History Museum is my favorite) and the Gower Penninsula in Wales.

Hardest-- obligatory obsession about the weather and public transport and the general amount of people in such a small island.

Hi there,

I am just wondering are you a student? We are rather close in age so I thought I might ask!

Hehehe: that bit about getting as far away from your parents as possible, hehehe those are fighting words lol! Though, these days I am starting to understand what you mean given the breakup of mine. :'(
