A Venezuelan in England

Entrega I. Caramba Inglaterra
It Is my first week in England; what can I say? Lovely country, with an amazing passion for tea and organic/fair trade products.
It is surprising for a person like me, who comes from a tropical country, that a day could begin at 4:30 am, and end at 9:00 pm…
This side of the country is just beautiful at this time of the year, maybe it’s because an important group of people were “waiting” for my arrival, my wife in first place.
The Norfolk area is what you always have thought the English countryside to be in springtime. Cyclists that stop for a pint of beer in a pub, which was built in the XIV century; older people that go out to sunbathe (at 16 degrees!!!); and a Chinese girl with pink hair serving in a fish & chip shop…
Forgetting the nutty lady who called me a “sick bastard” when I asked her for the “jobcentre” (maybe she heard “fuck centre”); people here are quite kind, some of them even talk to you. The huge community of international students and the migration phenomenon makes you hear and see interesting things, like the Chinese girl I mentioned before, a man speaking in Venezuelan Spanish on his mobile in M&S; or the tapas bar that is owned by an English woman, whose ex husband is the most hated Venezuelan in Norwich.
That dude is so hated that a Venezuelan friend said to me “Please if you go there, don’t say you’re Venezuelan, because they might even ask you to leave the place” (who knows!!!!!!!!)
Changing the subject, the town I am living in is great. It is called Wymondham, has a nice an long history, e.g.. the abbey was built in 1107… something like 500 years before Columbus discovered Macuro…
The mean age of the population is something like 50 years old… but, this since we arrived, because before was something like 52! The median age is between 75-80 years. It means that people live long in this part of the country (too much, it seems); or that apart from 50 people (including Natasha & me), everybody is 50 years old, or more.
English people are really tea-addicts, the dudes wake up thinking in “a cup of tea”, and they go to bed just after “a cup of tea”. But, unless the country doesn’t stop to drink tea, just as I thought before meet any English person; because otherwise, this people wouldn’t work.
The NHS (National Health Service) is a total success, the buildings are clean, every nurse and doctor has its own space. Actually, because they think in the “prevention medicine”; the nurses are as important as doctors. Both kinds are between the best paid professionals in the country. They are really respected as part of the society, is a good example we maybe could see.
