Welcome back to my moving to london diaries!! I'm getting settled into my apartment now, buying home things like bedding, shopping for decor, grocery shopping, going to tesco for the first time, and getting up to general shenanigans :)

Not washing the sheets before putting them on is craaaazy

@wolfzombie3022 Ай бұрын

I have a plug directly outside by bathroom so I plug it then the cord is normally long enough. Also plugs aren’t in the bathroom because the plugs explode if water gets in or you’ll get electric shock. I just do everything in my room.

Also if we go out to eat 90% of the time we don't eat English food. We eat a lot of Indian food, greek food, Italian food, and Thai food.

girl pls do NOT have any electricity in the bathroom!! we in the uk do not have plugs in there for a reason

@UkjACk300 Ай бұрын

Lol what? I live in Germany and always had electrics in my bathrooms in every flat I've lived in. You shouldn't drop your hair dryer (or toaster lol) in your bath tub while you're in there but otherwise you should be fine. I'm genuinely curious what's the worry here just having some electrics away from water?

@Oat69Milk Ай бұрын

@@UkjACk300 its illegal in the uk to have sockets unless they are 3m away from the bath or shower!! not really sure why other countries allow it but uk have a much higher voltage than usa for example!! we also do not have light switches inside of the bathroom they must be outside

@TaylorS0410 Ай бұрын

@@Oat69Milkor theyre the pully string light switches. It might be bc the bathrooms are much smaller here, increasing the likelihood of those accidents

@sannyxo21 Ай бұрын

i think it's about the electricity circuit. 🤔 maybe in england they don't have the safety switch off like we do in germany? or they are generally different idk. 😅

@UkjACk300 Ай бұрын

@@Oat69Milk Oh, yeah, I remember. The UK has a very different circuit system than Germany for example. It just works different. While we have a central safety system (I think it's called a breaker?) that switches everything off if sth is wrong, you guys have that kinda with every plug. However, light switches are generally outside and plugs are neeever close to the tub or shower, at least not as far as I remember having stayed in a lot of places.

Hearing you talk about food in London is breaking my heart, so here are some suggestions nearish you - Spitalfields food market (loads of con sessions like hand pulled noodles and momo) - Rinkoff’s Bakery (family run baked goods, huge cronuts!) - For better pies, find a Pieminister! - Tom’s Pasta in Hackney Downs - Jolene Bakery (great pastries and breakfasts) - Sweet Thursdays (Neapolitan pizza) - Escocesa (authentic tapas made with fresh seafood from Scotland) - Rasa (vegetarian Indian food) - Xi’an Impression (Chinese street food) I’m very passionate about the food here in London so honestly happy to recommend more if you’d like!

About the eggs: Why don´t they refrigerate eggs in Europe,...... One, various countries in Europe vaccinate chickens against salmonella beforehand. In addition, eggs are not washed like they are in the United States, so the protective cuticle is left on the shell intact. As a result, eggs can be stored at room temperature instead of needing to be refrigerated.

@taliah125 29 күн бұрын

If the eggs have a lion stamp you can even eat raw

@whynotread394 25 күн бұрын

It’s not always a thing in Europe or UK though… it depends on which quality and which country/import you buy it from.

I don’t live in London but I searched up that having plugs in the bathroom increases electricity shock and it is illegal to have a plug closer than 3 meters to your shower. Hope this helped! 🇬🇧

@suzanneu27 Ай бұрын

It’s a no to using the extension lead in the bathroom in the UK. Our electricity voltage is much higher than rest of Europe, Canada and The US. Illegal to have plugs in bathrooms here, only the shaver plug socket. A friend wanted to have her washing machine in the bathroom as part of house renovation and even after saying they put the plug in the hallway and come through the wall, Building Control said no way to that.

LONDON FOOD TIPS: I don’t actually live in London, I live in Wales which is a couple hours away but I think when it comes to tourists saying that the food here is bad, it is mainly due to them trying British Cuisines which us British people grew up on so obviously we have more an acquired taste. I would 1000% stay away from the British food and start getting more of the Cultured food that makes up 70% (I’m guessing) of the restaurants here in the uk. CAMDEN MARKET, SOHO and CHINA TOWN are good places for cheap, tasty eats. Looking on TikTok is also a good place to find good food in London!!!

Just a quick observation, I wouldn't run an extension lead into your bathroom. The Volts in the UK are 240, you wouldn't want to be blow drying your hair if steam is about, you'd get a shock and chucked across the room. The Voltage is double that of North America. You wouldn't need to blow dry your hair if that happened, it would be on fire ;)
