'When I came first to London I saw the houses when I came from airport and I saw the houses very small like chicken size and when I came in and I see the house I said my sister 'What is this house? We have got very big house in Kenya and this is very small house, how can we cope here? And my sister said you must cope here, this is England it's expensive area.' Then I got used to it.'

'Sri Lanka is a big place; we can walk about, go out and everything. In London the houses are all closed. The houses are like boxes here. Thank god we have a big house, and a garden.'
