Should I move to England?
Ok i'm fed up with America. I can't actually believe i'm saying this, but I want out of this terrible country. I was born and raised in Chicago. I am now 22 years old. I'm tired of this government, and all the idiots in politics. Just set my age aside, the money it will cost etc.. What is England like? Do you have stupid politics? Laws? I hear a lot of violence is happening there now.. What makes England better than America? Thank you.
Thinking About Moving To England?
By England, are you picky about England or Wales and Scotland? Also, if you're enchanted by the English accent then you should be aware that there are VERY different accents across the UK. I recomend spending a spot of time with youtube and listen to the Birmingham accent, and the Liverpool accent, then the newcastle accent. Also have a listen to the Devon accent if you can find it. Most people who like the English accent have heard the kind of accent that the likes of Hugh Grant have which we often call the "queen's english" and, by it's very nature is found near London (although not necessarily found in the centre of it). Now, London is a very expensive place to live. there are major cities surounding it such as Cambridge and Oxford although the prices there are still high. The problem is, the closer to London you go, the higher living prices are. As a rule of thumb, the further north you go, the cheaper house prices are. As for somewhere safe, you'l have to trade this off against urbanisation I'm afraid. I live out in a small town. The availability of 'cool' places is rather limited, but it's a much safer place than say the centre of Newcastle. And what's 'cool' for you? I grew up near Manchester which was, as cities go, isn't too bad. I spent quite a bit of time near York which is quieter and more historical. I'm afraid I couldn't help you out with the cost of living because it really depends on how much you have to spend. You very much get what you pay for.
If I was moving from England to Canada, which areas would be the best?
Assuming that you can get through immigration ok, I do not think work should not be a major problem but I am retired and no longer in the know about work situations. Unless you pick a place up north (and why would you?) most of the country experiences 4 seasons. Vancouver, being on the Pacific rarely sees winter (a day of snow occasionally) although most of B.C. does. Cost of living wipes Vancouver out of the equation anyway - it's not the cheapest place to live! This is Canada and next to the UK, we are HUGE. Lots of land and outdoor spaces, especially outside of the major cities. English is the main language outside of Quebec. Poisonous spiders?? Don't think so! Maybe a daddy long legs here or there. And it's nice to be good to the spiders here - they keep the other bugs down Other bugs being flies, mosquitoes and like that. Your cats would definitely need to have their shots, especially rabies. I could type all the info out but it is already done at this link: http://www.pettravel.com/immigration/Canada.cfm I have lived in this country all my life - 63 years and have never seen a bear outside of the far north and the National Parks. Well, that is not entirely true. Every now and then one will wander into Calgary and the wildlife people hustle it back to Banff. Not a worry really. I have seen even fewer wolves. I remember when I was about 16 years old, there was a wolf attack about 50 miles north of the small town I lived in in Quebec and I have seen a few in the National Parks. Some cattle that disappeared out west was blamed on the wolves but it is just as likely that it was rustled. I do not think they constitute a problem. It must be a myth. Hope this helps.
Moving to England Good Choice?
Moving to England is a difficult thing, but if it's your dream, you have to follow it, regardless. So you ask if it is a good choice or not, if it's your dream then yes, it is. But like the other answerer said, be sure. Take a few more trips. This is very wise. I recommend London, because it seems to me that you would like to be at the centre of the whole British experience (there's no better place than this). It's one of the most magnificent cities on Earth, you get a vibe when you're there, it's hard to describe, it's just amazing. I will one day live there myself.
I am a 15-year-old student moving to England. What should I know?
Moving from which country? To which part of the UK? Gender? Such small details make a difference.Generally, whatever your answers to those questions, some things you might find useful to know:There are a lot of very nice people in the UK; some of them are teenagers.There are a small number of people almost anywhere who are not so nice. This is often because they are struggling/suffering in some way and this is manifested in treating their peers badly. There isn't much you can do about this, so get used to the idea that some people just need to be tolerated and forgotten about.If you are 15 and human, chances are that a lot of what is on your mind relates to relationships and/or sex. It's impossible to prevent attachments from happening, but be cautious and assume that part of any attachment is a result of your new situation and the uncertainty it brings - if it isn't, it will survive your initial caution.Some UK people are naturally reserved and will find ways of reaching out which might seem very indirect to you, depending on what you are used to. Try to learn to listen to people and pay attention to what is going on, at the same time, don't assume that what they say is what they mean. We can be a funny bunch.As would be true anywhere, treat others as you would like to be treated and most of the time you will be treated well.Don't be surprised if your arrival in a new place sparks interest or enthusiasm amongst the locals. Most 15 year olds live quite parochial lives and novelty is attractive in itself. Don't let it go to your head.If you have existing hobbies or enthusiasms, take the opportunity to pursue them - this will broaden the scope of people you meet and likely introduce you to people who have other things in common, as well as giving you something familiar to connect to in your new life.A lot of what you will feel is not so much about the experience, but your attitude to it. Try to see this change as a new adventure, a new horizon for exploration and personal growth. Sure, there will be scary stuff, but most of that is about what you have learned from your life so far and what you are used to.It doesn't rain everywhere all the time.There is an active surf scene in some parts of the UK.You don't have to spend money to have fun in the UK.Most UK residents are self-conscious and often indifferent to religion; try not to discuss this until you know someone really well, like for twenty years.Hope this helps...
Will my skin get lighter if I move to England?
When I went to England during the holidays(for 2 weeks) my skin did get lighter and it was in autumn. I was wondering, if I moved there would I be able to get back my natural skin colour? I have become darker since I started frequenting the beach. I live in Malaysia and it's rather hot since it's situated at the equator. I will be going to England to further my studies. My colour before was like this: http://topnews.in/light/files/Genelia-D'Souza.jpg And now, it's like this : http://cdn02.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/headlines/2009/02/freida-pinto-honoring-the-irish.jpg
Help! What should I know before moving to England, educationally and immigration-wise?
I'm 16 years old - 17 next month - and it's decided that by October I am to be out of the US and off to live with my aunt in the UK. I'm currently a senior in high school and I have a wish to pursue my education further ... but since schooling is different between the UK and the US I'm not too sure what I should do. Also, I need to know about the visas and immigration laws or whatever it is that applies to me... I'd greatly appreciate any help!
