What I've Learned

Dear Everyone,

after I moved out of my home and came to England I learned and lot of things. I had to become more independent, but I'm also talking about things I learned about Britain and Brits. So here's a list of what I've learned so far. 

1) Not all British people love tea and drink it whenever they can. I live in a family that highly praises coffee and I never saw anyone in this house drinking a cup of tea, except for me. 

2) The weather isn't as bad as its reputation might suggest. It is not raining for days and it is not constantly grey and windy. The way I would describe the weather is moody and changeable. Let me tell you about the weather today for example. The morning started off dull and when I was on a walk with Harry it started raining. This lasted for about two hours and suddenly the sun shone bright and there were no clouds. Then it rained again and now there is sun again. So you see, the problem with English weather is you never know what you will get exactly.

3) The Irish accent is just like a noise and doesn't sound like separate words. Living with an Irish Dad, who says so himself, I can confirm this. Sometimes I am just sittig there being like 'What did he just say? Was he even talking to me?'

4) Keeping a house clean, doing the laundry and cooking for yourself isn't difficult at all. It just takes up time you have been willing to spend. But let me tell you one thing: caring for yourself, seeing the house shiny after two hours of cleaning and eating something you cooked yourself make you really happy and proud.

5) In London every day of October is Halloween and now that November has started, it's officially Christmas. I don't mind, I love it! I mean, just look how beautiful Christmas lights are.

6) London is the place to be, if you love Asian food as much as I do. I've eaten more Indian and Chinese food the past two months than I have the last two years. 

Is there anything you learned when moving out from home and maybe even to another country? Let me know. 

See you!
