[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sad to read as this is my dream but I agree with the 'become a regular' suggestion. Your classes will help but if you have a hobby/passion - indulge it. Do the little town gatherings you'll hear about - even if they seem like they're lame. Get known as someone outside of large shops, etc.[/quote] It's your dream to live in the UK? Why? And what part would you live in? [/quote] This is the dreaming PP: In my most romantic scenarios I would live somewhere in the Lake District. I can work anywhere so I dream of a small cottage, the big fire place and long walks into village after getting a good deal done each day. I also like Bath and for a smaller urban experience - this seems doable (but like another PP - I was almost run over the first time I was there - combo of looking wrong way in traffic and jet lagged slow reflexes.) I guess Notting Hill for a full year would be beyond my reach but I always try to stay in this area when work brings me for an extended period to London and if dreams didn't need real life funding - there. My whys of being in the UK? I find that there is enough difference in the country - once out of the surface facade of modern city life and tourist show to really set aside my same olds of traveling domestically. I travel a lot - and though I'm mostly Irish and there with family pretty often - I love England so much more. I love the architecture, the gardens, the uniqueness of the towns and the connectiveness of train travel. I love the way walking and being outside is taken for granted as something one does every day. And - because I love sweaters and layers - I love being able to wear cozy clothes and not sweating in our mostly overheated buildings here. I haven't found people to be rude on the whole but have to say I was endlessly hit on by countless older men - luckily never aggressively but way more than I expected and way more than here - and one of the things I haven't figured out why so different there.[/quote]
