Any LYK used to live in UK?

Hello everyone, I am currently in Lonond, UK.

UK is completely the opposite what I have imagined, and the image portrayed in the movie is very very far from the reality.  The country is so old, and people are proud to live in a very old house (houses that are like the council houses in Hong Kong).

The road is narrow, curly, and I was having so much trouble to find road names.  Unlike America, the placement of the road names is not standardized.  It could be on the building, on the ground, or could be a corner without any name plate.

Some tubes(subways) do not have air conditioning, and I was standing next to a fat sweaty guy when I first arrived.   It was not a pleasant expereince, but again, UK is much more retro than I thought.

Anyways, I am job searching in the field of graphic/music/financial here, but I don't have much luck.

Since I haven't posted things here for awhile, I decide to drop by.  

I miss the clean air and nice weather in Vancouver!

Woo, cannot believe there are so many people replying this thread!

First about, of course I tried to "communicate" with the blondes here!  They are much hotter and more in shape than the white americans.    Russian-heritage white girls are so cute and beautiful!  

Yeah, sometimes I tried to pick girls up by speaking broken French, and girls found that cute and opened up topics.  However, in London, 70% of people are not British.  THat is, they are like me who come here to look for works.  I have more French and Spanish friends than briitsh people.

The tube(subway) here is just horrible.  It is so dusty!  When I first arrived, I cannot stop sneezing in the tube.  I thought I caught a cold, but later on I found out it was the dust in the tunnel.  How do I know?  Everytime I returned to the ground, I took a tissue to clean my nose.  And guess what?  The tissue becomes grey!

Anyways, if London does not have a big music scene, I would never downgrade myself to live in such an old flat.  White people think their house as castle, so they would never tear down the old flats here.  

Job market...here...is much more competitive than in Vancouver.  You have to have network, or your CV would never be reviewd at all.  I was so disappointed that I could find any admin job in bank or music company......

Paris metro....the tunnel is much bigger and better than the British's, yet I was being mobbed twice by a group of romanians in the stations.  Luckily, I did not lose anything.  Other than that, I like Paris, as the modern part of Paris is quite Creative and impressive.

    唔係啵﹐我覺得paris還可以﹐我覺得無咁逼無london咁多人。同埋londonD站大D﹐行好耐先到月台。成條路又窄又局又熱。真係好愛香港個港跌囉。我覺得全球數一數二先進。
