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. |
