So, here’s some of what I did (and what you can do) to explore the better parts of London that taste just like home. If you didn’t catch it, I couldn’t bring any of the food my family packed for me as my luggage had to stay within the weight limit. While I’m definitely no expert in food, I am an expert in feeling homesick whilst living in London. If they don’t, you can very likely cook it yourself. If it can’t, there’s probably a student society that will cook it for you. The reason: most of it can likely be found in London. Quick hint: you don’t need to bring that much – if any – of your favourite foods with you to uni. This is probably what most international (particularly us South East Asian) students think they have to do to mitigate being homesick. The reason? My parents had unknowingly packed for me 10 instant noodle packs, 5 packs of Indonesian crisps, 15 mini boxes of Nastar – an Indonesian pineapple cookie, and a bunch of other Indonesian food. Both ended up weighing 35 kg each when I arrived at the airport. Each was supposed to weigh a maximum of 23 kg. Coming to UCL as an East Asian student? Trying to figure how much food you'll need to bring over to survive?
