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.

Royal Baby Hysteria

I have never written about the Royal Family before. Even though there would have been several occasions since I moved to the United Kingdom of Great Britain, such as the Royal Wedding and the Diamond Jubilee. But this Royal Baby Hysteria is so insane that I need to write about it.

Channel 5 will (probably) be the first channel to show a documentary in regards to the baby announcement. It's supposed to air on Tuesday and has been sold already to Germany, Finland, Belgium, Canada, New Zealand, France and the US. Yesterday, I saw also a TV Researcher advertising herself for a documentary about hyperemesis gravidarum (the reason why Kate is in the hospital at the moment), because she used to have the same symptoms when she was pregnant. I have also read speculations about where and when Kate has conceived and when Pippa will get pregnant etc. 

But one of the craziest things I read was that manufacturers are already producing Royal Baby Souvenirs, such as mugs which say "A royal baby in 2013". I really don't wanna be in her shoes. Apparently she is less than 12 weeks pregnant and we all know that something could happen quite easily during these first weeks. And I'm pretty sure all this pressure doesn't help either.

Has it really come that far?
