| Hello I think of many many things when thinking about England. I only have very good memories of England. I fell in love with the English language very early, I was about 10 or 11 years old, and I used to listen English or American music, and as I wanted to sing along with my tapes (yes, no CD at that time ), I searched for the lyrics in magazines for the young (there was'nt the Internet, poor us!). I was fan of The Beatles (I still am), Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Wham, Madonna and many others..I was very proud of myself when I could sing in English because I didn't want to sing marschmallow . That also helped me when I entered the secondary school and I had no difficulties in learning English. I kept on with English, because I studied it at the university. I wanted to be an English teacher at that time, I finally work in Telecommunications today and did'nt become a teacher I also have very good memories of my life over there. In 1994 I lived 8 months (a school year in fact) in Tonbridge (Kent). I was there as a French language assistant in a high school That was a great year, filled with joyful moments, beautiful images of the English country, tea, pubs, karaoke, fish and chips , parks, christmas time and christmas carols (I love that!), London etc.... a wonderful year that I will never forget. I felt so good over there, I always had the feeling that I was at home. My last surprise with England and English was a few years ago, when I discovered, while working on my genealogy researches, that I had English ancestors..! in fact I have several (in Sussex and Essex). I thought that maybe this explained why I always loved the English language and England so much. you never know.. Waow I talked too much, but for me this is a fascinating subject. See you guys,  Orientcat |

| Wow, that is an extremely interesting story Oriencat. I do believe in mystical things, and it could be true that you felt at home in England because you have ancestors who lived here. Thankyou for an interesting read
I think it would be interesting to see England if i did not already live here. I think i miss some of the most beautiful things about it because i am always thinking about the bad thaings about it. I will have to look on the more positive, beautiful side of England in the future. _________________ Liam Lewis (site admin) Music is the voice of the soul.

| Hello Liam, Thanks for reading my story. Yes, I can understand you. When you live somewhere you don't pay attention to the beauties that surround you. I am from Dunkerque, and have now been living in Paris for 12 years..As long as I was in Dunkerque I didn't realise how much I was attached to my town and its beauties. When I go back to Dunkerque (about once every 2 or 3 months), I feel so good and enjoy everything and everyone I see over there. I miss Dunkerque a lot, now that I don't live there anymore. Where exactly do you live in England ? (lucky you;) you know if I hadn't met my man here in Paris, I think I would have lived in England) See you Orientcat |

| I do love all the sights and the atmosphere in London, but the one thing that i hate about it is the pollution. Frequently, i have to go to London to take part in auditions for shows and things, and when i am in London, i have to cover my mouth with a scarf because there is car pollution there.
But, overall, London is a fantastic city, i agree. _________________ Liam Lewis (site admin) Music is the voice of the soul. Feel it flow through your spirit as you listen to its rhythmic beating, and epic melodies. |
