Re: Living conditions ;O

Personally, I would run far, far away from desi areas. Perhaps if you want to go for food but that’s about it.

The rest of London is mixed enough that you will never feel out of place.

London probably the most varied food you can find. There are obviously places where you can find halal restaurants very easily but even if you’re not in one of those areas, it’s not hard to find halal food. Aside from desi and middle eastern food, you can find halal chinese and some other random halal restaurants. All the vegetarians I know say London is probably one of the best cities for good vegetarian food…because we have the cuisine of so many different countries and many have great non-meat dishes. Personally, when I go out with friends I never make an issue over where we eat because there is always bound to be something seafood or veg based on the menu that is just as tasty as the meat dishes.

As for healthcare, we have the NHS. Very few people have insurance and really it’s just if they really hate regular hospitals and waiting. I mean my parents might get health insurance but people my age generally don’t. Medical care is free aside from a small charge for prescriptions and dental care charged but NHS rates so it’s pretty cheap i.e. £17 for a quick routine check-up.

I don’t want to be in a big desi community area just enough desis so my SO wouldn’t be lonely.

I’m not much of a fan of desi food (or any Asian food for that matter) I’m looking forward to the variety though that was just the thing I was worried about. I don’t mind going all vegetarian if I have to but I admit I love meat.. so it would kill me if there was only desi options.

Ahh alright I didn’t really know what to expect I was kind of thinking something similar to America and I know their hospital bills are through the roof!
