And since there is around 9 days left until I leave the safe city of Stavanger, I guess I can share some thoughts about my journey to England, and what I have done to prepare myself.
I have now completed stuff like paying for the apartment I am going to live in, printed heath documents and bank documents, looked through all the papers I have got in my mailbox from the university.
It feels very satisfying to have almost all the puzzle pieces in place, and the only thing I need to do is look forward for what this adventure will offer me.
The mental preparation I am working on in my mind, includes things like trying to see the world through a British perspective. I am not calming that I think I will become, or think like a British person just because I am going to live in England, but I think it will help me to prepare for the journey.
The other things I have noticed that I am doing, is getting more aware of how much British culture and media is effecting my life. Since I am going to be a student at the Film Production course, I have noticed that a lot of the tv-series, movies, or simply stories that I love, all are English productions.
I think getting deeper into another culture that is so similar, but in a way also so differently than my own, is a very interesting experiment and exercise. After all I am going to spend some time there.
