    so heres some london and uk stuff off the top of my head
    1. the tube in the summer whenever there’s a heatwave is a basically like being microwaved
    2. the weather is SOOO inconsistent 😭 but tbh everyone already knew that
    3. there’s no home depot in the uk, our equivalent would be b&q
    4. omg ur probably gonna get acquainted with our british supermarkets, like tesco asda lidl and aldi, don’t shop at waitrose its just expensive 😭
    5. the national dish of the uk is chicken tikka masala
    6. a lot of museums in London are free to enter! i think u just need to book a time slot for some of them
    7. london bridge isn’t the one that splits in two, that’s tower bridge
    yeahhh these were pretty random and I hope u survive London 😭 jokes aside it’s not THATTT bad (I’m just being delulu) but I hope u have a great time while ur here!

    Hope you have an amazing time, but just to let you know - from a British person - London is not representative of the rest of England. It's about as representative as downtown Manhattan is to the rest of the U.S. People are much friendlier and it's much more scenic outside of London. When you get a chance, please try and visit some other cities, towns and the coast to get the full experience. There are definitely much nicer places to visit and live.

Glasgow really isn’t that rough, was there last month - am even thinking of moving there! … great food and music scene … Edinburgh is heaps more touristy, expensive and somewhat elitist imo, and you can always visit from Glasgow! I think Glasgow gives off place to live vibes and Edinburgh place to visit. But … it really depends on what degree you want to do! Find that first and work from there … (I am a Programme Director for pre-Masters courses for International students seeking entry to UK universities, btw) One thing to remember is it rains a LOT 😂

      @@michellefiller6802 ur best bet is to move over and be on a really good part time job and THEN look for your job job. area/event jobs pay a hood amount. that’s what a lot of my coworkers have done and moved into flats with third year uni students till they find a new place bc the rent’s usually cheaper. or an airbnb for months at a time. i don’t know what field your work is in but a lot of the job finding happens through in person networking events. hope this helped !!

    I just returned from London. Before arriving I had heard about how expensive the black cabs are, so I took the underground but had to take two lines. The amount of walking with luggage plus the second line had no elevators (lifts) so getting luggage up the stairs was a nightmare. So maybe the cab was worth it.

Feels like this video is a sign/ encouragement for me to start figuring things out for myself too ❤ but I'm also gratrful for what you said. Being 26 I feel like I'm so behind for not really knowing wtf I'm even doing with my life... I held myself back from exploring because I'm trying to save money to move out of my parent's home. But I am glad you said you feel like a youngER adult, this is why perspective is great, helps me see my age in a different light ❤ safe journey babes!

    Using the trains can be annoying sometimes, cos they go on strike so often. There are replacement buses and just buses in general. And now there's uber boat 😂😂. When u tap in and out use the same card and mode. (if unused apple pay to tap in use apple pay to tap out- don't switch to ur physical card). If u use transport a lot then a railway card by TfL or city mapper may be a cost effective way to pay for ur journeys.
    Queue up, we do like to queue and cutting is a big disrespect.
    Recent surge of pickpocketers so be careful with your phone especially. People are advised not to walk with your phone out.
