Why UK?

You may wonder why exactly I've chosen to look specifically in the UK at the moment. The reasons are manifold, here are the principal ones:

1) The UK is awesome and I would love to live/work there for the rest of my life (at least I think so right now), so why waste more time in Belgium?

2) I love a change of environment every now and then. It makes me creative.

3) They do short work experience placements, which is exactly what I want right now. I haven't found anything similar in Belgium so far; it's all internships here, and they are usually long.

Can't learn as much if the placement is too short, I hear you say? Not entirely true. In my opera house internship, I learned loads in the first month, and hardly anything in the last three, because the tasks just started to repeat. That's why I'd prefer several short placements over one very long one - which only means I'm making things more difficult for myself, but hey, I'm still a woman right.

4) Any opportunity to improve my English is most welcome. I would especially like to pick up some kind of a stable accent at some point, instead of the current situation where I adapt my accent to whoever I'm talking to (which, oddly, causes Americans to think I'm Irish, Irish people in Ireland to think I'm American, Irish people abroad to think I'm Irish, and Polish people to think I'm taking the piss out of them).

5) Tea and scones. That is all.
