“Living in London is like traveling on a luxury cruise ship,” said Chinese writer and artist Ma Jian, who moved to London in 1999. What is this liner like from the inside? How is life in London different from life in Russia and other cities? What difficulties should you be prepared for after moving to London? Financier Andrei Movchan, who emigrated to London in 2020, talks about this and much more in his diary book. The author traces his route in detail from the decision to move to London to settling in a country with which he did not immediately manage to find a "common language". Although it does not pretend to be an accurate depiction of life in London, this book contains a sincere personal impression of the early days of an emigrant in England. Together with the author, the reader can visit an English house, walk the streets of London, take a ride on London transport, get to know its inhabitants, taste London food, experience the delights and problems of local services and communal systems, healthcare, education, experience the joy of meeting with "the capital of the world" and the sadness of an emigrant in a paradise alien to him.
