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.

Secret Cinema

Before you read any further you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about this! Promise? OK.
I want to let you in a secret. It's called Secret Cinema and is a monthly gathering of all that love challenging and groundbreaking cinema, screening mystery films in extraordinary locations.

The weekend before Halloween I was at Brick Lane market and a guy approached me in order to invite me to a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in an old church in Richmond. I was rather fascinated and did some research on Secret Cinema.
They screen well-known movies at exceptional places and turn the cinema experience into a theatrical experience by letting viewers participate. Watch this video about the screening of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest in an asylum to get an idea: 



Secret audience. Secret locations. Secret worlds.
If you want to find out more about it, visit: http://www.secretcinema.org/
But whisper only amongst yourselves. Keep the motion. Tell-no one! 

Oh, and Secret Cinema has just announced a mysterious new theatrical food experience: Secret Restaurant. Diners will find themselves in a theatrical world of food, music and mystery. The menu will be kept secret until the final moment. Somewhere in the city, you will find Secret Restaurant...
If you find it before me, please do let me know. Discretely of course!
