Welcome back to my space, I hope you're all well! As you know, I'm moving back to Singapore, after spending a good 3.5 years living in Manchester and calling it my second home. Not going to lie, I am definitely going to miss it a ton but with how things are seeing, I count my blessings that I can go home and be nearer to my family, friends and hopefully, Aidan moving with me too.
So to tie things up a little, I wanted to share with you what are the ten things I will miss about living in the UK and hopefully, you will love them too. Or even if you're just looking for things to fall in love with this country since well, Brexit isn't the most uplifting thing right about this moment. Anyway, let's just jump right in!

Ah, the mothership. Well, Primark is a blackhole, you enter with the intention of getting some socks or cotton pads but you leave with bath products, a new top and probably some scrunchies? I guess what I appreciate about Primark is just the availability of things, they have all sorts that you can pick up in one store and it caters to all ages/genders which works great if you're getting things for your family or friends. The price point is also pretty nice, I got a good pair of jeans for £13 when in Topshop it could cost more than £30 and they are prolly about the same cut and quality. The only downside is, because it's so available, everyone has just about the same jacket or top which can get a little awkward when you bump into a stranger with the same outfit. Aidan actually sat beside a guy with the exact same coat as him on a long bus ride and there is nothing wrong with that, it's just a littttlllleee weird feeling isn't it?

As I write this, I have about twenty days of being a resident in the UK and honestly, I'm feeling a little bittersweet. I can't wait to be with my family and friends but the UK has so many things to love and enjoy. But I'm sure one day I'm going to be back, whether as a tourist or making this my second home, I will be sure to!
With that being said, let me know what your favourite part of being in UK (or your home country) is! X
