Life in London: getting started.

   First of all I would like to tell a little about process of getting visa and things related to it. Every year it's harder to get visa to England but possible. So don't give up if you wish to live in UK! :-) To get UK visa I had to represent to Enlgish Embassy documents about my job, that I am currently working and I need improvment in English to get better job plus I have to show papers about ownership in my country so that means I will return back. At the beginning I did not understand why english government is against emigration and have strict limit to let live in England. After I came to London, I have realised why that is like that. My first day in London I was surprised with number of emigrants in London. Here there are lot of people from Africa, India, Colombia and other counrties where people cannot fully express themselfs and to have suitable life as they wish to have. With every year British government changing emigration policy and putting bigger bariers to get visa to UK.
  First day in London, honeslty saying, was quiet hard because I was lost in the center of London. Having post address of family where will I be living, I had taken taxi from Victoria undeground station. Having seen that address on the road to home, taxi driver told that he cannot get me to destination because the address I had told him is not exact and he needs more exact address :-) As my mobile was discharged, I did not know anyone in London, seating in a taxi I realised that that I was lost and did not know what to do next. Taxi driver just calmly was telling me that he cannot deliver me to destination  I need and was asking where do I need to get :-)  Eventually, after long talkings and explanations, I had remembered that I have an emergency telephone number of language school. So, by chance, a girl answered and gave me the right address :-) So I got, finally, to family house, like that finished my first day in London :-) Advice you not to take a taxi in London - its extremally expansive.
