EXCLUSIVE I ditched the UK for China and life is so much better - my weekly shop is just £10 and I earn £1,000-a-month working 13 hours a week
A woman who made the 'life-changing' decision to ditch the UK and live in China has revealed the incredible amount of cash the move has saved her. Emily Severn says she spends just £10 on her weekly shop and earns £1k-a-month working just 13 hours a week. The 24-year-old flew over 5,000 miles away from her home in Nottingham to live in Suzhou in the Jiangsu Province of Eastern China in June 2024. Working as an teacher in both kindergarten and junior high schools, Emily normally does just 13 hours every week - teaching English to Chinese students - and is paid £20 per hour. Noticing a huge difference in the amount she spends, Emily says she's seen price decreases in rent and social activities, and says she leads a more active life in China. She says her outgoings in the UK would cost her £850-a-month, compared to £336 for the same in China - and she insists there is 'more of a work life balance' as she only works 13 hours a week, compared to an average 40-hour work week in Britain. Emily, an English teacher, originally from Nottingham, UK, said: 'I think what drew me to it is it's so different to rainy England. 'In Manchester the rent for a one-bed apartment, as my university accommodation, was £850 per month. 'The rent every month here has been costing me 2,200 yuan which at the moment is about £323 pounds. A woman who ditched the UK to move to China says she spends just £10 on her weekly shop and earns £1k-a-month working just 13 hours a week 'You can go to the market here and literally buy a full food shop for £5 and that can last you a few days. 'In the UK there would be a lot of time being sedentary but here I probably lead a much more active lifestyle. 'There are a lot of parks that are free so there are still a lot of free activities. 'They're literally a bigger scale. They have a wetland park near where I live and it's massive. 'It's difficult to walk around it all, it took me around three hours and I hadn't walked around the entire park. It's so easy to go over 10,000 steps every day. 'I was probably doing a lot less on most days at home. It was regularly 2,000 or 3,000 steps, the most was 7,000. 'All there was to do where I lived was a few parks but you didn't really want to walk around them. Everyday feels different in China, but in the UK everyday felt the same.' 'It's definitely a life-changing decision but all of my family are very happy for me.' Emily first began learning Chinese at alongside her masters degree in Journalism - where she also met boyfriend Wei, 30. After securing a job in Suzhou whilst completing her TESOL qualification – which stands for Teaching English to Speaker of Other Languages- the couple moved out to China together, where they now live in a one-bed apartment. She said: 'It was actually my Chinese teacher's old boss that was hiring teachers in China. 'Once I had my TESOL certificate they could start giving me my contract and work permit. 'Personally within the company I work in there is more of a work life balance. 'There's more flexibility than in the UK. 'I think I wanted to move explore and see something new because a lot of the time in the UK there's not a lot that goes on. 'In summer in China there are a lot of light shows and concerts at parks. 'There's a hustle and bustle and a lot going on. 'The utilities in China are 100 yen for the electricity per month and in British pounds that's about £10.15, that was costing me £37 in the UK. 'My water bill is 100 yuan but we only really have to pay it every three months, so £10.15 every three months – compared to £37 in the UK.' Emily explains most attractions – like water towns including Mudu, Nanxun and Zhouzhuang - cost as little as £1 for entry include museum access, and says she spends a lot of her time walking in the different parks on offer in her area. Teaching a mixture of class based and one-to-one sessions, Emily is paid upwards of £20 an hour, and estimates she earns £10,145 over the year. Living in a one-bed apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, living area and mezzanine floor for their bedroom, the couple spend their weekends travelling to local 'ancient towns'. Despite loving life in Suzhou, Emily can see herself returning to the UK at some point. 'I think it's more wanting to come back to family,' she said. 'When you're in China you kind of value family a lot more because everyone places a big value on family.'

I quit my ‘ridiculously stressful' UK teaching job for one in France – overtime is banned & there's NO admin
A SINGLE mum has shared why she ditched the UK and her teaching job for life in France. Anna Britten, 49, packed up and left the UK for the French countryside with her two teen sons. 3 3 3 The mum says her "ridiculously stressful" job as an assistant head teacher in the UK would see her regularly work 45 hour weeks and never taking lunch breaks. She always felt "attached" to France thanks to family holidays but put her dream of moving abroad to one side while raising her sons, aged 14 and 16. But when the pandemic left her "despairing" of life in the UK she quit and began looking at jobs in France. The perfect teaching role came up near Nemours, France, and she decided to go for it and moved out in August 2024. Thanks to French laws she can't work more than 35 hours a week and only has to attend school for the lessons she teaches - with no tutor groups, assemblies and admin. Her sons have thrived, no longer having to wear uniform, and getting at least an hour for lunch. Anna still has to do marking - but can fit it in when she's not teaching instead of having to do it in the evenings. She teaches classes of only 14 students - compared to 30 in the UK - and despite taking a pay cut for this role she'd never go back to teaching in the UK. Anna, an English teacher, from Nottingham, said: "I've always loved the French culture - we work to live rather than live to work. "I'm happier out here. I just think the UK is a stressful way of living, people enjoy the moment out here. "Lunch is so important here - no one would dream of not stopping. "In the UK I didn't have a lunch break - people work through lunch. "It's a nicer way of life. It's more relaxed." Anna spent a lot of time in France as a child so it feels like a second home for her. She spent a year living out there aged 27 but when she moved back and met her teenage boys' dad she settled into UK life. She said: "I got caught up in life in England. (But) the pandemic made me question a lot of things. "I wanted to step away from my stressful life - being an assistant head it was ridiculously stressful. "Then there was Brexit - I started to despair with the UK." Anna had stepped away from teaching in the UK into charity work when she spotted the role in France and decided to go for it - taking her two teens and their four cats along with her. They moved in August last year - and despite the "nightmare" paperwork Anna and her boys are loving it. Anna said getting a visa was a "massive process" and took a couple of months and lots of documentation but was easier than some find it as she had the job secured. She said: "My youngest is really happy here. My eldest got to escape his GCSEs. "It's opened up opportunities - they are becoming bilingual. "They'll have an international bachelorette. There are more opportunities than growing up in Nottingham." Anna loves and her teens love that there is no school uniform policy. She said: "As a teacher and a parent I always hated uniform. It makes them all identical and it's uncomfortable. "The school days are longer here - 8.20am until 5.30pm. But they have a long lunch break - a minimum of an hour. "I only have to come in for the lessons I teach. I don't have the other nonsense - tutor groups, assemblies and admin. "The atmosphere in UK schools is stress." She said her kids "enjoy" school more now and are learning to speak French - and Anna can speak the language well. The French laws means she can only work a 35 hour week and the school holidays are also longer - and they have already broken up in early July - and won't go back until September. Anna said: "We have time in the day for marking and planning. We get a lot longer holidays. Two weeks at Christmas, two weeks at easter and two in October. "I'm earning about the same now as if I was on a main scale teaching job in the UK. Everything you need to know about visiting France Brits need to have a passport with at least three months left on it. No visas are needed for anyone staying up to 90 days within an 180-day period but you need to make sure your passport is stamped on entry and exit. You may also need to show proof of accommodation and funds, around €120 a day. The country uses the euro with with around €10 working out to £8.55. France is one hour ahead of the UK Direct flights to France from the UK take between 1-4 hours depending on the destination Or you can travel by train with Eurostar, with destinations including Paris or Lille. Direct ferry services also operate between the UK and France, with some journeys taking 90 minutes. "I have taken a salary cut - that was a leadership role. If I was to go to England - I would be earning similar to what I'm earning now but it's more stressful "I'd never do it. Money wasn't my reason for doing anything." Anna said her kids have adapted really well to leaving friends and family in England. She said: "They have made lots of new friends." Cost-wise Anna hasn't noticed a huge difference - but rents a four bed house an hour out of Paris for €1,300 a month. In the UK, she rented a four-bed house in Nottingham for £900. She said: "Eating out is cheaper. "It's a whole new lifestyle. "Being so close to Paris - full of beauty and culture - is an incredible opportunity for the boys." Anna hopes to inspire others to make that change in their life - whatever it might be. She said: "As I've got older I've got braver.

Gaza: I feel like the life I had before the war was all made up
"I don't think God intended for people in their late 20s to live with their parents," Hanya Aljamal hanging out on the balcony of the tiny apartment where she lives with her mother, father and five grown-up siblings - because it's the only place she can get any peace and years ago, 28-year-old Hanya was working as an English teacher and lived in a flat of her own. She was applying to colleges in the US to do a Master's in international development, and on course for a scholarship to pay for it. Things were going well - but life is different most days, Sunday begins with a morning coffee on the balcony, while Hanya watches her neighbour, a man in his 70s, carefully tending pots of herbs, seedlings and plants in his tidy garden, just across the road from a blown-up building."It just looks like the purest form of resistance," Hanya says. "In the middle of all this horror and uncertainty, he still finds time to grow something - and there's something absolutely beautiful about that."Hanya lives in Deir al-Balah, a town in the middle of Gaza, a 25-mile stretch of land on the south-eastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea that's been a war zone since October 2023. She has recorded an audio diary which she shared with the BBC for a radio documentary about what life is like school where she taught had to close down when the war started. Hanya has become a teacher with no students and no school, her sense of who she was slipping through her fingers."It's very hard finding purpose in this time, finding some sort of solace or meaning as your entire world falls apart." The apartment Hanya shares with her family is her fifth home since the war started. The UN estimates 90% of Gazans have been displaced by the war - many multiple times. Most Gazans now live in temporary Monday, Hanya is jolted awake in bed at 2am."There was an explosion really close by that was then followed by a second, and a third," she says, "it was so loud and very scary. I tried to soothe myself to sleep."The Israeli government says its military action in Gaza is intended to destroy the capabilities of Hamas, which describes itself as an Islamist resistance movement. It is designated a terrorist organisation by the UK, the US, Israel, and military action began after armed Palestinian groups from Gaza led by Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023, killing around 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and taking 251 far, the Israeli military has killed more than 56,000 people in the conflict - the majority civilians - according to Gaza's Ministry of Health, which is run by Hamas. Israel doesn't currently allow international journalists to report freely from Gaza. Hanya is working for an aid organisation called Action for Humanity and spends the day at one of their projects. A group of girls wearing white T-shirts and with keffiyehs tied around their waists perform a dance and then take part in a group therapy talks about what it means to lose your home, others talk about losing their belongings, their friends, someone they love. And then one suddenly starts crying and everyone else falls silent. A teaching assistant takes the girl away to comfort her in private."And then someone tells me that she lost both parents," Hanya says. On Tuesday, Hanya is watching five colourful kites soaring in the sky from her balcony."I like kites - they're like an active act of hope," she says. "Every kite is a couple of kids down there trying to have a normal childhood in the midst of all this."Seeing kites flying makes a nice change to the drones, jets and "killing machines" Hanya is used to seeing above her apartment, she says. But later that evening, the "nightly orchestra" of nearby drones buzzing at discordant pitches begins. She describes the sound they make as "psychological torture"."Sometimes they're so loud you can't even listen to your own thoughts," she says. "They're kind of a reminder that they're there watching, waiting, ready to pounce." On Thursday morning, Hanya hears loud, consistent gunfire and wonders what it might be. Maybe theft. Maybe a turf war between families. Maybe someone defending a spends most of the day in bed. She feels dizzy every time she tries to get up and puts it down to the effect of fasting ahead of Eid al-Adha, when she's already very says the lack of control over what she eats - and the rest of her life - is having a big psychological impact."You cannot control anything - not even your thoughts, not even your wellbeing, not even who you are," she says. "It took me a while to accept the fact that I am no longer the person that I identify myself as."The school where Hanya used to teach has been destroyed, and the idea of studying abroad now seems very distant."I felt like I was gaslit," Hanya says, "like all of these things were made up. Like none of it was true." The next morning, Hanya wakes to the sound of birds chirping and the call to the first day of Eid al-Adha, when her dad would usually sacrifice a sheep and they'd share the meat with the needy and their relatives. But her family don't have the means to travel now and there's no animal to sacrifice anyway."All of Gaza's population has been not eating any sort of protein, outside canned fava beans, for three months now," she family discover that one of her cousins has been killed while trying to get aid."To be honest, I hadn't known him very well," she says, "but it's the general tragedy of someone hungry, seeking food and getting shot in the process that is quite grotesque." There have been multiple shooting incidents and hundreds of deaths reported at or near aid distribution points in recent weeks. The circumstances are disputed and difficult to verify without being able to report freely in knows at least 10 people who have lost their lives during the war. This number includes several of her students and a colleague who had got engaged a month before the war started. She was the same age as Hanya and shared her is updating her CV to remove her college professor's name. He was her referee and writing mentor - but he is dead now too."It's a huge thing when someone tells you that they see you, that they believe in you, and that they bet on you," she doesn't think she's grieved for any of these people properly, and says she feels she has to ration her emotions in case any of her close family are hurt."Grieving is a luxury many of us can't afford." Crowing cocks mark the start of another new day, and Hanya is taking in a beautiful pink and blue dawn from the balcony. She says she has developed a habit of looking up to the sky as an escape."It's very hard to find beauty in Gaza anymore. Everything is grey, or soot-covered, or destroyed," Hanya says."The one thing about the sky is that it gives you colours and a respite of beauty that Earth lacks."

Lorde performs new album Virgin in full in surprise Glastonbury Festival set
The 28-year-old – whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor – took to the Woodsies stage at 11.30am as fans screamed at the top of their voices, before opening with latest single and the record's opening track, Hammer. Masses of festivalgoers had converged on the tent, with a bumper crowd waiting outside. Midway through her set she told the audience: 'How you doing? You OK? 'This is f****** sick, thank you so much for being here with us on the day that Virgin was born. 'We decided to play the whole record for you from front to back. 'No, this record took me a lot, I didn't know if I would make another record to be honest, but I'm back here. 'I'm so thankful to you for waiting for me, thank you for sitting in the sun right now, hope you have a sick f****** Glastonbury.' Waving her shirt to cool down, Virgin's lead single What Was That prompted mass singalongs as flags with the new LP's cover and title waved. Second single Man Of The Year climaxed with Lorde laying down on the floor of the building site-like set, as lasers shot out across the crowd from behind her. Later in the set, she told the massive crowd: 'This is crazy for me too, I hope you understand.' The New Zealand-born singer pulled her top off to finish with a double hit of Ribs from her debut album Pure Heroine, which she said was first played at Glastonbury 2017, and Melodrama's Green Light, which saw the lasers turn from blue to the colour mentioned in the track. The final song prompted a football terrace-style singalong that almost drowned out Lorde herself. Friday crowds update – Click here for info on where you might find busier crowds today -> — Glastonbury Festival (@glastonbury) June 27, 2025 Virgin is the singer's fourth studio album, with her previous three Pure Heroine (2013), Melodrama (2017) and Solar Power (2021) all reaching the top 10 of the UK albums chart. The singer is best known for songs such as Homemade Dynamite, Solar Power and her second single Royals, which reached number one in the UK singles chart. Elsewhere at the festival, British pop rock band The 1975 will be the first headliners to grace the Glastonbury Festival's Pyramid Stage this year when they perform on Friday evening. Made up of four school friends, the group, known for songs including Chocolate, Someone Else and About You, is comprised of singer Matt Healy, bassist Ross MacDonald, guitarist Adam Hann, and drummer George Daniel. Other Friday performers include: Irish singer CMAT; hip-hop star Loyle Carner; rock band English Teacher; indie band Wet Leg; and Canadian star Alanis Morissette, who will take to the Pyramid Stage after a TBA act which will be performing at 4.55pm. The five-day celebration of music and performing arts, which opened its gates on Wednesday, will also see headline performances from veteran rocker Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop star Olivia Rodrigo. The BBC confirmed on Thursday that Young's Saturday Pyramid Stage set will not be broadcast live 'at the artist's request'. This year's line-up features a number of acts listed as TBA, as well as a mysterious act called Patchwork, which will take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. Festivalgoers have so far seen a clear morning after significant rainfall overnight, with temperatures reaching the mid-20s, according to the Met Office. Rain made small areas of the site damp in the early hours of Friday morning, but hot weather has since dried it. Spokesman Stephen Dixon told the PA news agency: 'Friday should start relatively sunny, with temperatures reaching into the mid-20s. However, there will be a touch more cloud later in the day and into the evening.' Looking ahead to the weekend, the Met Office's Grahame Madge said: 'Heat and humidity will be building over the weekend. We anticipate highs of 26C on Saturday, with high levels of humidity. By Monday temperatures can be anticipated to be over 30C. 'There is always the chance of a light shower, but there is nothing in the forecast that suggests anything heavier for Saturday for Somerset.' Avon and Somerset Police said there had been 38 crimes reported at the festival with 14 arrests made. Friday's line-up of events also includes a Q&A featuring Australian actress Margot Robbie at Pilton Palais and a Mountainhead Q&A with Jesse Armstrong, along with performances from psychedelic rockers Osees and Britpop veterans Supergrass. Saturday will see Irish rap trio Kneecap, who have seen one of their members charged with a terror offence, perform on the West Holts Stage at 4pm. Before the festival, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said it would not be 'appropriate' for them to perform their slot at Worthy Farm. Rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in London in November last year. Last week, the 27-year-old, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20. On Thursday evening, the rap trio posted a film they executive produced to social media, titled Stop The Genocide, which includes testimonies from a Palestinian activist and plastic surgeon on the war in Gaza. With a sunny few days predicted here at Worthy Farm, please take a moment to read this advice on staying safe in the heat. #Glastonbury2025 — Glastonbury Festival (@glastonbury) June 27, 2025 Performing in the coveted Sunday legends slot this year is Sir Rod Stewart, who previously said he will be joined by his former Faces band member Ronnie Wood, as well as some other guests.
