Hey! I'm Alanna - a thirty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a RU-vid video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on my Patreon account. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.

Babbel sounds good - like you I'm a victim of bad teaching, but in the UK, when we were given a list of 200 French verbs to learn over a weekend, and I switched off. I'm still angry about it as it would have been good to stimulate the language part of the brain, to make languages easier in future.

@nbclaymore1861 7 месяцев назад

Just a thought about getting around in London. The Tube is fantastic for travelling longer distances but, for shorter journeys, I much prefer taking the bus, as you did in this video. It gives a much better idea of where you are and what's around you and often it doesn't really take much longer than the Tube. So many tourists use the Tube for very short trips and, by the time they get down to the platform, wait for their train and get out of the station at the end of the journey, a bus ride could easily have got there in the same time - sometimes less. Anyway - always lovely to catch up with your adventure and good to know that your eye surgery has been a success.

@davidjones332 7 месяцев назад

I think the reason most visitors use the Tube is that it's just so much easier to navigate. Walk into any station and there's a map of the entire system. If you know the nearest station to your destination it's easy to work out which line you need and where to change trains. Unfortunately, it isn't so easy to find your way about the bus network without doing some homework in advance.

I have been to Canada but not since 1979, many of my Canadian cousins used to come over to the "homeland" (their mother was English, my dads sister), anyway not once did I hear anybody unable to say the word out properly, well with an accent but that was it. But now every Canadian I meet and everyone I hear on here cannot say "out" properly, you not all seem to pronounce "out" like a demented Scots man, in that you all now say "oot" instead of "out". When did you all start saying "oot". We had to learn French for 3 years in England in the 1970's. It was so interesting that I can still remember the French word for window, I can't remember how to spell it though. I had a deal with my French teacher Mr Bristol, if he left me alone I would leave him alone and that really worked for both of us. I also had similar arrangements with my German teacher and my English teacher so I wasn't being racist or biased.

Travelling around London is so easy using public transport and cheap too. One way to cut the cost of rail fare is to avoid using the central travel zone. You can get from one side of London to the other for as little as £3.80 off peak. Also Breaking a journey into London at the outer zone and making the most of the tap in / Oyster system may make a saving too.

Alanna’s arrival was at Kings Cross her destination Harley street, both close by & in zone 1, her NR Railcard discount should also discount the London day travelcard from her departure station or she can have the discount loaded onto oyster, breaking a journey just to tap in is not practical, she’d have to wait for another train while standing in the rain, financial saving is negligible if any.

Your $32 Cdn fish and chips looked good. 😃

I live in a suburb of Ottawa. On Oct 30, we had our first snowfall, Temperature minus 1/ Can't comment on transportation because we ge one city bus in the morning, another at night. The train service does not reach my part of town, and anyway, it doesn't really work most of the time

I worked entirely from home during the height of the pandemic and grew to dislike the isolation and unchanging nature of the experience. I'm currently doing three days a week in the office and two working from home, which seems like a nice balance. I find there's a lot of interesting stuff, both work-related and not, going on that you only find out about by running into random people outside your working group in the corridors, or random chats if you go to see someone that doesn't seem to happen in the same way online. I share your view of London; it's just far too big and yet also far too crowded. I live in a city with a population of around 500,000 and that's just a nice size; big enough that there's plenty of things happening but small enough that the city centre is walkable and practically nowhere that I visit regularly taking more than 45 minutes or so on the bus.

What's your favourite mode of public transport? Walking also counts.

... you are always enjoyable to watch ... this outing reminds me of some of your earlier videos which were a bit scatty ... in these you did a count of top 10 or 20 things and kept losing your place in the number sequence ... 1, 2, 5, 6, 3, 8 ... hilarious ... in this vid you never really answered the original question ... I think I counted "having a shower and wearing PJs" 4x 😂

I honestly don’t get why people are obsessed with the weather in the UK, a drop of rain doesn’t stop us from doing anything. There’s no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing choices.

Thank you for the reminder about the sad light Alanna. I presume these are also a thing in the Dominion of Canada?
