Lifestyle: 10 Things Why The UK Is Awesome

10 Lifestyle Reasons Why The UK Is Awesome

1. Nowhere in this world will you spent so much money on clothes, DVDs and other random but beautiful stylish things than in the UK. Those Primark/ASOS hauls, cinema trips and eating outs are legendary.

2. A trip down to your local cineworld will end up in a triple feature. Spent the day successfully.

3. Festivals are actually fun. Music you usually don't listen to sounds amazing live performed, girls wear flowers and dress up nicely, the general vibe is friendly to make that festival an unforgettable memory. You feel invincible and have the summer of your lifetime, which is a welcoming change to the German heavy metal/goth and alternative rock noise that you've avoided for years.

4. Brits are very stylish, tasteful and dress well. You won't see any weird fringes, multi-coloured hair or bling bling nose piercings. People are actually interested in fashion and won't give you looks when you 'come out' as a fashionista.

5. FREE Public Wifi EVERYWHERE is no longer a luxury, but a reality. You can finally access ANY internet website, watch any TV show and listen to Youtube videos without being restricted by GEMA.

6. 'How are you?' 'Hope you're well!' 'Speak to you soon lovely'. People are so nice and interested in you which is refreshing to 'Where did you get that internship from?' 'Let's go containering and boofing' 'Sorry nerd, you can't sit with us'.

7. The moment you bite into your cheddar cheese and ham sandwich, followed by a clotted cream and strawberry jam scone. PRICELESS.

8. Nothing feels more pleasant to me than to wake up to the sound of the English language. British accents are to die for - yes, even the strong Black Country accent.

9. Life in the UK gets never boring. There are so many possibilities and opportunities around, you'll be sorted easily. No matter how much life might bring you down, it will all work out fine for you in the end somehow, just keep going.

10. There's no place like London. Enough said.

Thank you so much for reading today’s post. Hope you’ll join me on my next adventure. Are you dreaming of a life in the UK, too? Are you an expat and love living abroad? Which things am I missing that make the UK a great place to live in? Do you have a country you romanticise?

Till next time,

xx Caz xx

    I'm British and I'm thrilled you love my homeland as much as I do!
    My ancestors have lived in England since 1066 so I am extremely proud to be British.

    So pleased that you love it here. Great post. And welcome! xxxx

    I've been living in the UK for 5 years now and I also really love this country and already consider it to be my own. Love how British people are generally polite and friendly and London is indeed the best. So much to see and do... hard to get bored like you said. :) x

    This is a great list! Don't quite agree with number 4 though - I see lots of multi coloured hair where I live! I agree that life here never gets boring though, there is always something going on and it's so much fun! I've convinced myself that Spain is the place to live, I'd love to go there to teach English one day!

    I would love to travel to the UK one day. It just looks like it would be amazing! I love the British accent too but I also love the Irish one and the number one place I hope to go is Ireland since my family comes from there. I love learning about different countries and how they compare to the U.S. Wonderful post Caz! :) xoxo

    You've certainly been to the wrong German festivals, there are great non-heavy metal ones. ;)

    Thank you for your interesting post - I actually moved to Germany and experienced quite the opposite here. People are lovely too and if they ask me where I got that internship from, they ask because they are genuinely interested and don't have ulterior motives.
    Experiences, however, might differ.

Fashion: Undressed - A Brief History Of Underwear. My Visit.

Image
The V&A in London is always worth a visit, and after seeing the amazing Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibition and Louis Vuitton’s Series 3 on the Strand last year, I was ready for another fashion related exhibition. Last weekend, a new seasonal exhibition opened at the V&A museum called “Undressed – A brief History of Underwear”. Though I’m not too bothered about lingerie, I was intrigued how the museum and its curators would display and showcase the historic development of undergarments. Tickets were booked in an instant, so I invited my friend Mille from Pass For Fass to come along and join me for a Saturday afternoon in South Kensington. I apologise in advance for the quality of the pictures. Since the V&A prohibits photography and wouldn’t reply to my enquiry to get press pictures for this blog post, my iPhone 6 had to do the job. The Exhibition: What You'll See The exhibition is located in a separate part, right in the heart of the V&A and runs until 201

Film: My Top Three Christmas Movies

Image
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the wonderful films that you can watch all over again to get into the festive mood. Ever since I moved out of my parents home, it is my very own tradition to watch a film on the evening of the 24th December (instead of unwrapping presents) and then celebrate Christmas in the morning of the 25th. Some of the films are mostly anime and cartoon-based as they remind me of my childhood and I feel that these movies bring back that special festive magic which I experienced as a child. I don't really like the modern, hyperactive American movies ala Home Alone ,  Miracle on 34th Street , Santa Claus or Jingle All Away . My ultimate all-time-classic Christmas movies are: 1. Anastasia (1997) In a dramatic night, the entire Russian tsar family Romanov is killed by the evil magician Rasputin. Only grandma Romanov and the youngest daughter Anastasia can survive the attack and flee, but are separated and Anastasia suffers from amnesia. Many years later

Lifestyle: What's In My Handbag?

Image
List and What's In My Handbag posts are my favourite blog reads, because I'm quite nosy and I love to know what other bloggers carry around and use daily. My recent list post on  The 10 Things Why The UK Is Awesome was picked up so well that I've decided to do a handbag post next. I've been dying to do this post for a while now and I finally got around to do it. Hope you'll have fun exploring my Kate Spade shopper and its content. |Practical| 1. TomTom Sat Nav, Car Keys & License, Visconti Leather Wallet When I'm out I barely use public transport (except for London or when I go into Birmingham) and I drive a lot in Britain and Germany. A few years ago I would refuse to use sat navs, simply because I've learnt in driving school, how a good driver prepares and studies a map BEFORE he goes on a trip, which makes it easier to focus on the road and traffic. However, when I did my first massive tour around the UK in 2011, having a sat nav proved to be a massi
