What is it like in...?

Question

england. I was thinking about moving down there once i graduate from college and i want to know what im in for.

Answer 1

where do you live now??

Answer 2

England is a fairly large country.  At the moment the dollar is worth about half a pound, so you will find things VERY VERY expensive.  And we drive on the opposite side of the road.

Answer 3

Hey, British culture is certainly very very different and people have different ways of talking and reacting than American people. A lot of British people often look down at Americans and their country, this may be because we're so proud, i don't know. Depending on what part of the country you go to, North is cheap, but cold and you can't understand the people, south is warmer but more expensive, and there's a mixed type of population, lots of rich people but lots of poor too. But in general people are friendlier in the south-west and north of england, also the mid-west, and welsh border, and east anglia. in london people are very rude, they won't help you with anything and you will just end up being mugged in the street with no one to help you - really not a good place to live if you're not used to it, there is also a lot of crime.

Look on this website www.upmystreet.com you type in the area you are intereste d in and it will tell you what the crime rate is and how the schools and facilities are in the local area, and should give you a fair idea of what life around there is like. I hope this helps, please email me if you would like to know more :)

Answer 5

Answer 6

wel..England is a very diverse culture country but it really depends on which area of England u want to live in for example in Bradford there are very many asians..in Milton Keynes there more white people and some cities are equally diverse....

knife crime is a problem in london in these days...

in london u will find many racist people...

Tesco - a 24 hour supermarket so there is no problem if u need something urgently at night or in the morning.

im confused...theres too much to write about..

search on the internet if u wana know about accomodation and benefits etc.

So where are you moving to in UK?
