　　As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans-port after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now Im afraid.

　　The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and thats typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
