Markus goes big-bang-London. Ever wondered why on earth a guy from the heart of Switzerland would want to leave the pristine beauty of Helvetia and move to dirty, noisy and upmarket London? Find out...

Prologue

Dear all

Before you go "gosh, why the heck does he write all that in English?", let me welcome you on my blog.

Targeted also at a non-German-speaking audience, this blog will hopefully be read in Switzerland, England, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Lithuania and many other countries (yes, Wales is a country, I've been told...). And this is the reason why I chose to write it in English.

Ok, fair enuff, there's also another reason for that. Not only do I want to impress you all with my English (and very likely make all my English folks roll on the floor laughing), but I also want to practise my English. Let's say it is most economical that way.

So anyway. I hope you have fun reading through my adventures on the island. I'll try to update my blog as often as possible.

Therefore: Return and see.

Cheers, Markus

What d'u mean ? 'WALES is a country, so you've been TOLD' ?????

We have a parliament (Senedd), stamps, coins, flag, language, capital city.... what more do you want ? Customs posts ?

Hey ! You practise English with an 's'. To practise (verb), some practice (noun).

To remember this: to practISe has 'IS' in it (a verb); some practICE has 'ICE' in it, (a noun).

Lovely meeting and greeting you yesterday, and I am impressed with your blog. I wanted to beep your mobile phone last night when I got home, but as soon as it rang, some women jabbered in German, and I wasted money !!!!
