This city gives me a different identity, this city gives me a house…
this city gives me so many opportunities, because I was a victim of
domestic violence first, so I have gained so many things.

Chinese people also drink a lot of teas but most of them are green
teas even though the red tea, you call it black tea, we don’t put
milk into it. Yes, the British people spill some milk into it and you
just brew tea for a couple of minutes like three to five minutes and
then they pour the tea out of it but Chinese people, so brew, sink
the tea into the teapot or the cup in the whole time. Quite
different. Here, the teahouse is quite casual but in China, it’s
something quite traditional and serious…There are so many steps
you have to follow and, finally, you can have a small cup of tea.

This country gave me some amazing opportunities of practising
outdoor activities which I didn’t think about before…

Wherever I go, the Lake District or Yorkshire or London or
Staffordshire, I feel that that’s my country now…

I do enjoy seeing new places. I think that’s one of the reasons why I
came to the UK because it’s very different here and maybe
childhood memory like reading all the novels or kind of stories or
reports or things like that, so that kind of thing that made me come
here.
“
We say Islamabad is like the UK. You can’t predict when it rains,
when it’s sun, you can say anything, so it’s the same like over there
as well.
