My issue with foreign workers in hotels is more simple than that, Beanz. When I go to Japan it is always Japanese people in the hotel or beyond. I want to be in Japan, so I want to experience Japan. Same here, if I go to a motel it's expected that the people working will be locals. After years in pristine isolation, you go to England and you can't find any English people working anywhere. The hotels, the shops. It's a guy in the shop with a name tag 'Abdul' or something and I just don't know why it isn't a friendly old lady called Mavis. I've nothing against Abdul. I'm sure he is very nice, but I want to hear Mavis and her accent. I don't get to interact with English people very much. You walk around London and you swear that it is the Twilight Zone. It's very strange to see.

There is no reason why English kids cannot be computer programmers, care workers, all of these things. Kids in the UK need better guidance. I wish I had more guidance and some kind of role model. I ended up looking up to William Burroughs and it just gets you in trouble. I should have studied medicine or something useful. Out here you have outsiders like me doing my thing and I am expected to do it. Or else you have factory workers doing their thing. We're both on the periphery. I kind of like it that way. I'm not against foreign people doing stuff but the UK is a bit weird. Have a Brit driving the taxis for once.
