this is the place that has taken my heart away
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth
I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here
In these pages, they may tell a funny story so you can feel optimistic about living here as a student, or a sad incident so you can be prepared to tackle it. I'll try my best to write down tips that could be useful for new students, what to do when they first arrive at London, where to stay, and how to allocate your budget from having a high budget to a low budget....I have lived in three different places in London with different budgets as well, and been around England as well as Wales, I was courageous enough to try it all;^)

I enjoyed reading how you first got your wings in london...good job....cheers from Ontario Canada...I hope to be back home soon too.
I enjoyed reading your page and your photography. Cheers!
well done on your nomination as home town hero
Very nice tips indeed
i loved your tips on Uk expressions, its quite clear to see that you did learn American English in Saudi, it's also very entertaining to read about my home in the eyes of a foreigner. thanks for making me smile. Are u back in Saudi?
