Everyone says: “If you are tired of London, you are tired of life”. London, a city that appears in films and literary works many times, is a dream place for many people. I interviewed three international students and heard why they chose to leave their families and live in a strange environment.
“As we all know, London is the world’s cultural and artistic center. As an art student, the British Museum, the V & A, the Tate Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery, etc., are all art halls that often make me linger. The best part is that, with the exception of very few thematic exhibitions, most of the artworks open to the public are free to enter.” Lucy from Goldsmith said.
The second interviewee was Hana from Japan: ”Being away from the familiar streets and food of my hometown, and becoming friends with people with different skin and cultural backgrounds, made me realize that the world can have such a rich side. Friends around us come from all over the world. We who used to speak different languages have now established a new life in London. And the city has embraced openly and embraced us as part of it.”
The last one is Aiko from UCL, she said:” I have always heard people complain that London is a city with too fast life because they have never been to Beijing. For me, London has an unusually slow-paced beauty. Here, you can always find a uniquely decorated afternoon tea restaurant, order a cup of English Breakfast Tea with milk, and butter the hot Sconri. Sometimes go to the market. There are many open-air weekend markets in London, of which Notting Hill Market is my favorite and most visited.”
