yet she studies (English) constantly and has very little time off.
She does not wish to return to Japan.
dare I ask what others imagine it is like in UK?

I have never been but my mom has a distance cousin there that her and my dad went to visit like a year ago. Their stories did not add too much about what I already had guessed.
I guess I just picture lots of "European" style buildings in older areas, and more "modern buildings" in city centers, lots of neighborhoods with narrow streets, but unlike Japan, having a lot more open country space. Rainy weather, fairly mild winters compared with other places, a wealth of pubs and soccer hooligans, a good music scene, varying accents some of which I probably cannot understand.. thats all I can think of for right now.
