I vividly remember one of the first times I went by myself to the supermarket after I arrived to London. The cashier asked me how my day was going, smiled and made small talk. Now that may seem something natural if you\u2019ve lived here for a long time but believe me, that made such an impact on me. If it\u2019s one thing that stands out from the Brits’ behaviour that\u2019s politeness<\/strong> and it makes such a positive difference to respect each other and live in a comfortable environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people ask me \u201cSo how\u2019s the food there? I heard it\u2019s bad,\u201d thinking about the heavy English breakfast with beans and sausages. Now I\u2019ve never had an English breakfast but what I have had\u00a0is porridge. Porridge<\/strong> is amazing. If I would have to choose one thing to eat for the rest of my life then that\u2019d be it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tea with milk<\/strong>. In some countries when people say \u201ctea\u201d they think of infusions, camomile tea, raspberry tea and so on. So imagine thinking about having that tea with milk. Disgusting<\/em>. Which was my thought exactly until I found that the Brits actually drink black tea, the English Breakfast. It goes really really well with milk, especially on gloomy days, staying warm inside and curling up with a cuppa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hard working and devoted people<\/strong>. Brits work hard and put passion in what they do. They rarely treat tasks superficially and they have a natural sense of going the extra mile when it comes to delivering performance. No wonder London is one of the biggest and most successful cities in the world. These people work hard and play hard.<\/span><\/p>\n

British accent<\/strong>. It just makes everything sound so sophisticated. It\u2019s not easy to master, I\u2019m still working my way through it but it\u2019s totally worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Balanced weather<\/strong>. Now hear me out. I\u2019m not saying British weather is the best. But having a balanced temperature throughout the year means very rare or no snow in the winter and bearable temperatures in the summer. Which is how it should be in a city where we go to work and don\u2019t have time to build snowmen or get a sun tan. That\u2019s what holidays are for!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t been to England yet, it\u2019s definitely something you should consider, either for crazy, busy, exciting London or for the more quiet little picturesque villages in the countryside.<\/span><\/p>\n
