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.

Regional Fashion Distinctions

I have already learned that girls wear less the further up North you get. For example, in Newcastle they never wear tights in the winter and only tiny dresses.
In Essex, however, it's all about fake! Fake tan, fake eyelashes, fake hair, fake nails and some other fake body parts too. If you wanna see some great examples, just watch "The Only Way is Essex":


Thanks to TOWIE I know now about Vajazzles and fake tan, but this week I have learned about a trend in Liverpool: The Scouse Brow!
The Scouse Brows are tattooed eyebrows. They are not in normal eyebrow shape, though, but huge big fat jet-black caterpillars on top of the girls' eyes. They are favoured by WAGs (footballer's wives) and reality TV stars like Katie Price. There was even a TV show called "Desperate Scousewives". Brilliant! 




When it comes to London, there is a difference between East London where young people look basically like the hipsters in Berlin, West London where you shouldn't forget your ballet flats and Chanel bag, and Central London where you should make sure that you wear ridiculously high heels no matter where you are:
