My life in London

                                My life in London

              How will my life change when I live in London?



Hey everyone!😊
My name is Emily, I'm 14 years old and my life will change a lot in a few months. 
But I will start at the beginning. A few days ago my parents told me they needed to talk with me about something really important and I was really surprised because their weren't any problems at the moment. So, when I came home from school they already waited for me at the dining table. 
When I sat down I felt really unsure. Maybe there's a problem I don't know of or something like that. 
They stared at me for some seconds before they started to talk. 
My mom said, that they thought about it a lot and it isn't that easy to tell me this, so I became more afraid but excited at the same time. Then my dad took over the talking and he came straight to the point... 
My parents want to move...to London! 
As my dad told me this I stopped listening. I don't know what I thought at the moment. My mind was a complete mess and I couldn't think straight.
After some time I was receptive again and I asked if that is really true and now...what should I say? 
I'm going to move to London! I'm so excited about it but also afraid and sad. 
I mean, everything will change for me... My school, my home, my friends...
I'm sure I won't have that much contact with them anymore and they will find some other girl to hang around with. But an end means a new beginning, doesn't it?

Besides those things there're many other points I thought about and some of them bother me a lot. 
For example the size of London. For me London is way too big and there're too many people in the city. I like smaller towns like Braunschweig, the city I'm living in and not those metropoles like London...
And to be honest...I'm really afraid of the changes. Not just because of the size.
I have many problems to get to know new people in my hometown and soon I need to settle into a whole new society. I'm not afraid of the language or the communication with the people because I think my english isn't that bad. So I can talk with them without many problems.
The problem, which is way bigger for me is the integration. This'll be the point, which causes me the most issues. 
My stomach hurts when I just think about it.
Maybe they'll think I'm weird and then I can't find any friends. In school I'll be all alone by myself because the people there will expel me. Probably I interpret too much into it because of my worries and fears but...that's normal, isn't it? 😶  
That sounds so negative, my god...not everything is bad. For example the community in London sounds really nice. They're so polite, I just love such habits. 
I heard that London is really rainy, too. For many people that sounds so bad but not for me. I love the rain so that kind of climate would be perfect for me. 
There's one more thing I just love about the British culture: the tea. I'm such a tea nerd and that's one aspect about London I really appreciate. I love the English tea time, it's so nice to sit down and drink tea while having a calm chat.
However, it's not everything bad in London. There're even some aspects I like about London even if many people don't like it, like the rain I talked about. One other point is the multiculture. In my opinion that's something really great because you can get to know people of many different cultures. Don't you agree? If you're interested in culture like me that's just perfect.
The fact that England has this class system with the royals and all that doesn't bother me that much. I mean the queen is a symbol of England, she's there to represent her country. She doesn't have that much influence anymore, so why should I care about it that much?
Well...because this blog entry is sure boring and long I'll come to the last negative point: the Brexit.
The Brexit is one thing that really bothers me. For the old people it won't have much consequences but for people like me, the young ones, Brexit brings really bad consequences with it.
Those old people are the 51 % which were for the Brexit. The result was 51% to 49%, that's so close!
Just because of two percents more the Brexit happens...
I wanted to travel so much in the future, also in europe and now...I must to discard my plans because I'm more restricted because of Brexit...

In the end I can't change anything, even if I complain about it. My parents made a decision and that's it. I need to accept and and to try it, thouch I don't like it.
As I thought about Englang and our move I also thought about, which country I would rather move to.
I think it would be Denmark or Japan. Why? Because I love the cultures of those countries.
I was often in Denmark in my holidays so I know some small parts of it already and every part of it is so nice, cool and just wonderful in their own way. The community in Denmark is so nice, I've never seen an unhappy or unpolite Dane. That's amazing! I also love the language because it sounds so comfortable and cute.
And Japan...it's Japan, what do you expect? I love anime and manga and I'm really interested in culture there. I mean do you know some parts of the culture? It's also so polite and friendly, I can't believe it. And they have school uniforms, that's so cool. I love school uniforms.
Generally Japan is a country which is just amazing in my eyes and I would love to move to Japan, just like to Denmark.
Maybe I'll do that later in thefuture but for now...I need to e satisfied with London. Maybe it won't be that bad like I  think now...let's see.

I hope my blog entry wasn't that boring for you. I just wanted to tell you guys something about my situation at the moment and maybe there're some people here, who live in London or even moved to London, too. If you read this maybe you could write me back and push my bad thoughts of London aside. I would be really happy about this.
So I think that's it for now...

Love yourfelf💓
And see ya~

From Germany to London What would change, if I move to London ? Today we asked ourself the question: “what would change, if we move to london” and that’s the topic I want to talk about today. When I heard the topic, I thought that then would change a lot, from little things to big things a lot would change. For example The currency would change from Euro to Pounds or the cars there drive on the left side, but I think when you are in England it doesn’t really matter that much, so just if you don’t drive the car by yourself. I speak from experiences because in my school was a project in year eight and there I also took part. We flew in a big group to England, Yorkshire and there all of us get a exchange partner or rather a exchange family. Every day we made trips, for two days I went to school there. We saw a lot and also learn a lot. Because of these experiences I can tell you a little bit from my own. Firstly,  I want to talk about some general Informatio...
