I am currently living in the UK and I have finding it very difficult to cope. My expectations for what life in England would be like were not met. I cannot get used to the weather, and i miss the familiarity and friendliness of the people of country. Life moves too quickly here and i find many (not all) of the people here to be very rude and dismissive. I always wanted to come to England so when an opportunity to work here arose, i quickly took it. I have a good job but now i am stuck in a 2 year contract and i just dont know how much longer i can cope. I have been here for 1 year now and i have been home 4 times (it is costing me a fortune). I dont have any close friends or family here except work associates and this distance is putting a strain on my relationship with my boyfriend. I would really like to stay for the 2 years so that i dont feel like i have failed! But i am constantly unhappy and depressed. Do u think i should go back home?? I am from Jamaica.
