Surprisingly, a Chinese with very few Chinese friends but a lot of British friends. " Jiayue, you know," said my manager," you are really different from other Chinese,you are too easygoing and too native now." Yes, that's me. I have been to UK for only 2 years and half, but I think myself getting along with local people in a 'China developing rate'. If you are fresher coming to UK, you probably find people here are a bit 'too polite and somehow cold'. However, that is absolutely not the real case. Most of them are extremely easy going and kind, but you do need some tips to make sure getting along well with them. I am now sharing my tips and experience with you, hopefully you will find them useful. Tip one: free yourself from your little prison!  So many international students lock themselves inside their rooms, watching tele, eat in ,only go out occasionally with people from their own country... Stop doing that please! You have to j...

We have had an amazing day yesterday on the top floor of Fortnum and Mason, the oldest department store of UK.  The head quarters is located at 181 Piccadilly, where as it was established in 1707 by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason. It is recognised internationally for its high quality goods as an iconic British symbol(Wikipedia). The main focus of the store is variety of exotics. Large but amazing indoor changing has been made since year 2004. It look now completely different indoors. Spiral stairs run though the atrium of the store, making customers easily recognise how many floors they have, and the amazing but unique goods on each floors. Sitting with being suprised, I started looking around. Everything look rally British and traditional: the velvet curtains, the hand made carpet, china tableware arranged in traditional order. The services are extremely experienced and behave just like the way being done traditionally. I have to remind me several times t...

Before coming to study in London, I have read a lot of magazines,watched quite a few programs about street styles. And I really admire the models who are pictured in modern cities. However, after coming to London, I found out you can basically take pictures of street style everywhere here in any season! It doesn't matter where you are in London, the backgrounds will never let you down. Isn't that awesome? Make yourself a street model this time! Don't forget to dress up every time you are out! Brookman's Park Station Liverpool Street Station King's Cross Station before Christmas Russel Square Garden A shop I forgot it's name: P Joy Cloth Shop on Oxford Street (By the way, I love dresses in Joy, they are amazing. But come to there when it has discounts, otherwise the clothes will be too expensive) The Palace of Westminister Covent Garden Covent Garden China Town in Chinese Spring Festival London Bridge ...

Aww! Apologize for being busy and not blogging for a while! You know being a vet student means you need to work even in your holidays. Now it's time to introduce our lovely visit to the Tower of London.The full name of it is called " Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress". Sitting at the north bank of the River Thames, it was built in 1078 by William the Conqueror, was used as a prison until 1952, although that was not its primary purpose. In early history, it was served as the royal residence. And nowadays,the Tower of London has become one of the most attractive visiting place in UK. And there was a nice ice skating square built underneath it-- that was where we visited and had fun skating. The weather was so pretty and sunny that day (thanks London),everyone got excited when we started changing skating shoes.Luckily I was born in the coldest part of China and learnt how to skate since I was born, I jumped onto skating square as soon as I say it. ...

Although I have been to UK for 2 and half years, there were still may sightseeing I haven't been to. Thanks the London University Ambassador Organisaion, gave us a amazing chance to discover more inside London. Bless us, the weather on that day is so wet and rainy, I forgot my umbrella and had to buy one near the station!!! Thus please please, if you are traveling to London, please take the umbrella with you all the time (unless you really enjoy walking in the rain, which I personally don't like at all). This is the picture taken at St. Paul's Cathedral, the mother church of Diocese of London. It is amazing pretty and tall, and it is one of the most famous  recognisable architecture in London. We were performing the 'Dragon Attacking the Church' here, but not much attention was attracted, as there was a big parade which was in memory of WW II proceeding just behind us. The people dead in WW II, please rest in peace. Free Hugging!!! Hey guys, if s...

Hey, nice to meet you guys! I come from the Royal Veterinary College and I am currently year 3 student. Life is busy but fun. This year I joined the London International Ambassador Program, to advertise London and my College to the whole Asian.  It feels like fun but still responsibilities on the shoulder.As life is already not easy, why not just enjoy it? I will share you some fashion in my mind in the future, and definitely recipe of Chinese dishes I made, also the place I found fun to go! I really enjoy drawing, for both pictures and calligraphy.  Thus instead of taking a lot of pictures to annoy you, I tend to draw my experience in pictures, thus bring some new staff to my readers. Japan is the country that I want to go the most! (I think it is because I have watched too much Japanese Animates) And London is the city I am currently living in. That's the reason why I choose  " London Dreaming Zakura" for my blog.  Nowadays, I ...
