I’ve long had a dream about living in London. Obligations and personal difficulties have kept me in my hometown, but more and more I see possibilities of going away and staying away for a time. I’d have to come back eventually but it would be great to have experienced it if only for a little while.
I think London would be a wonderful city to live in.

How to live in london"Amazing!"
How I did it: I worked abroad and lived in London through a program called BUNAC. I think it's easiest if you go through programs like this (because they help you obtain your working visa), or through your university. If you're not in college, take 3 classes at a community college, and you'll meet BUNAC's requirements. Lessons & tips:

luvandlife is dreaming of London
I’ve always wanted to live in London and I checked every possible way for me to get there legally as an American. I didn’t qualify for the HSMP, I couldn’t find a company to sponsor me, I wasn’t getting any call backs on my CV that I sent out to various companies throughout London, which is to be expected because they do have to offer those jobs to Britons first, then EU nationals and then if no one else is around, an American. So that’s out the question. The easiest way for me to get there? Graduate school. With the advice of one of my professors and some energy, I applied to different schools in London. Finally accepted my place with City University London for the M.A. in Media and Communications for September 2010! This is THE goal of my life and I’m going to achieve it. God is good!!
You know what! Women’s jewelry box is bottomless, just like women’s desire for new charm bracelet. And blue sapphire or diamond is their best choice. Since once the jewels and dresses are well matched, the personal taste and qualities will be revealed. There are many wonderful jewelry options available, but not all of them are suitable for you. Make sure that both the face shape and hairstyle are considered when selecting jewelries. The following are some tips; hope to help you in some way! Hope the following tips on choosing and matching jewelries could assist you in some way The basic principle is to make the jewels that you chose are fit for your complexion, age, dresses, occasions and so on. The basic rule is the shape of your jewels should be different from your face shape but couldn’t be extremely opposite. With a round face you want to look for jewels that will elongate the look of your face. For instance, long gold charm bracelet will give the illusion of length, so a necklace with one strong focal element a little above the bust line will look great on you. The loud and large silver links of london bracelet are a perfect match for people with Afro hairstyle. The colorful clothes should match with simple and light-colored jewelries. It is a great match for a sportswear and jewels with featured design in your leisure time. links of london Two Hearts Charm RedIn order to cover up the color of skin, the girls with muddy complexion can choose the less gaudy jewels, for instance, silver charm bracelets. As for the ladies who are plump, these shining gold charm bracelets are more suitable for them in displaying their nobility and dignity. If you are dressed up like a fair lady, then the simple style jewels are the best ornaments which will let you look pure and holy.
If I achieve one of my other goals I could be achieving this sooner than I expected, yay :)
A loft in London, preferably Soho.
Don’t know what will happen in the future and if this in any way realistic… but for now, this is what I want to achieve.

I visited London last year for a week and loved it. It’s so diverse and rich in history. And free museums!!!(YAHOOO). The train systems were awesome. I just wish had more time to explore more. I so could see myself living there. The weather is a bit yucky but I could overlook that to live there.
