A New Life in the UK

There are many Thai's living in the UK who have moved here here due to marriage, education or to to find work. What do they really think of the UK, it's people and culture? Here's one persons view. Por moved to the UK 6 years ago and will give us her account (when she gets round to it of course!) of what she really thinks of living here and whether finely sliced carrots are really a suitable alternative to papaya? Is it better or worse and does she miss her friends and family (email and telephones are great things) or has it been fairly easy to adapt to a her new life? - Oh and she can grow a pineapple in a British garden too!
