Discovering what has in the UK?

Discovering what has in the UK?

As wrote before my beginning of life in UK, and when I look back now it was kind of perfect, but I haven't started yet my MA course there, face a bit different educational system and it has a reason, of course, when you look the world that is divide by different cultures, and it was a shock for me.

First time I moved out Brazil, and for me, most educational systems should be like the Brazilian one, but NO!

Not very different, but I didn't prepare myself for this difference and I've arrived there to start straight way my course.

My lucky was I started to get very evolved with Jeff and shortly he became my boyfriend, I was in love, of course, and he helped me a lot with life in general there.

I think took around a year to I get used to the basic life in UK. I mean basic life like: food, bank, bills and more important people and their social behavior, it was not easy, but enjoyable as any part of the discovery of a new country, culture.

I need to say the culture in UK is different from Brazil, first thing I've noticed there, their concept of family in society, it is different. People leave home very early, usually around 20 years old, and in Brazil they can normally live with their family for a long time, even live forever. One good reason for the British leave and the Brazilians being sometimes forever with their families, it is the economical situation of the countries, good in UK, and not so good in Brazil, but then I'm talking about centuries of economical and cultural development of these countries and the world surrounded them.
