Jou

Summer has been here in UK for around2 months, the warm sun and occasional breeze is lovely. This is almost the perfect weather to be preparing for an exam. Everything look very cheerful.

On the campus - as summer arrive, small animals started to appear. I am not referring to insects, instead, I am talking about little rabbits and hedgehog.

Yesterday night, as I went out for my short walk, 2 rabbits were standing (sitting) in the middle of the pathway. As I approach them, one of the rabbits raced into the bushes. Another rabbit started moving bit by bit, weirdly, not into the bushes. It was as if it was leading me somewhere. And I am Alice!

Property

At this date, the properties in London still maintains at a pretty high price despite the pessimistic view on their financial outlook.

(i)
The people who purchase property in London came from all over the world. China, Russia and Saudi Arabia people seems to be the ones buying most of the properties.)
London is a city where you can have luxury and protection of human rights and government who welcome you.

(iii)
London has transport system that improves.

(iv)
As a global financial hub, London houses many well paid bankers and traders.

According to Prime Location house index, London's prime property is at about £1.1m average and platinum prime property averages at about £1.7m. This sort of prices can only be afforded by the super rich.

According to previous reading, the industry in other part of UK is slow comparing to the growth in London.
This shows that if you would like to stay in London, you have no choice but to pick a second grade property.
Some people prefers to stay in the suburb and travel 1 hour to work. That may be a good choice too, if you're settling down.
