There are many things that have been said about England for years: its weather, its people, the cost of living, concerns about English, its slow pace… But how much of it is true?
I've been living in London for 3.5 years, and by combining both my own experiences and hundreds of comments from you, I've addressed the most common prejudices and realities about England in this video.
In this video, I talk about:
• Is London's weather really as bad as they say?
Compared to Istanbul, the results are quite surprising. • Do they make fun of you when you speak English?
The high concentration of foreigners here and the English approach to language are not what you might think. • Is transportation between Turkey and England really "close"?
We're talking about door-to-door times and increasing costs. • Is every unit different in England? How real is the foot, pound, gallon chaos? • Is London really that expensive?
House prices, rents, food and drink, transportation, and dozens of free activities…
• Is the claim that “everything moves very slowly” true?
Which things really take a long time, and which ones are even faster than in Turkey? • The current situation regarding the other tap (!) issue
• Left-hand traffic and driver's license realities
• How accurate is the prejudice that the British are cold?
This video is a guide for anyone considering moving to England, curious about life in London, or simply wanting to see how many of the prejudices are just urban legends.
