According to wikipedia "Emigration is the act of leaving one's country or region to settle in another. (..) There are many reasons why people might choose to emigrate. Some are for reasons of religious, political or economic freedom or escape. Others have personal reasons such as marriage. Some people living in rich nations with cold climates choose to move to warmer climates when they retire."
Well, neither of these reasons apply to me, but nevertheless I decided to move from Germany to England where it always rains and the men are not really classified as the most attractive ones in the whole wide world. When you have lived in a foreign country before, you might know how different, awkward, funny and difficult your daily life can become.
Here are some highlights of my life in London Town.

London and its Randomness

One of the things, I like the most about London is its complete randomness.
You don't have any plans tonight? Just walk around Londontown and you'll find plenty of things to do.
The other day, I got off work and was just strolling around in Soho when I saw this amazing little arts exhibition. It was in a nondescript building with free admission and they had some really cool artwork:


Another night, I went out with my Canadian friend. First we went to the National Portrait Gallery where we met by accident a women who offers Flirting Tours across London. Within these tours you learn the "three methods of attack", which are three ways to meet anyone, and practice using them at London institutions such as Galleries, and even supermarkets. If you are interested, here is the link: http://www.flirtology.co.uk/
Later that night, we went to a Canadian Pub in Covent Garden called "The Maple Leaf" (what else?!) and guess who we bumped into:


I know some of my German friends will wonder now, who is this guy?! It's MATTHEW FOX who starred in Party of Five and Lost! You ignoramus! Or is the plural ignorami?

Anyway. London is a great place to just walk around not expecting anything and meeting the most interesting people and finding strange places.
