A group of islands off the northwest coast of Europe, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The British influence can be seen worldwide, and tea is among the most common drinks. London is home to more than 8 million citizens and it is estimated that more than 300 languages are spoken in the city.

I met Connie while attending a film/cinematography class in Paris, France. We met so many amazing people over the summer while in the class. Connie feels that because of the internet and our global awareness there are less differences between young people of the world and we all have similar ideas and goals.

Connie shared the disparity that is visible between classes in England as well as the London centric mentality that the rest of the world has. She thinks that the UK has plain food, yet we spoke about amazing dishes such as chicken tikka, fish and chips, cheesy chips, sticky toffee pudding and Cadbury chocolate! She ended our conversation by sharing that Yorkshire tea is the best tea you will find!

I love that she shared that the younger generations care about global issues and that people need to be kind! She feels that If something is not affecting you.. Why do you care!?
