an ukrainian guy tries to form a letter of motivation

0 hi there,02br
02br
00i'm studying graphic-design in germany and i'm going abroad (erasmus/socrates).02br
00i have to form a short motivationletter.02br
00this is my first try. what do you think?02br
02br
00Things that motivate me, to go nottingham.02br
00Sure, there are the usual reasons like, different country, differnet language, different people, different culture, different kind of design. But threre is something more ...02br
00In my circle of friends there are many »anglophil« germans, who allways talk about their trips to Britain, especially London, people who listen to brit-pop and who are crazy about the charme victorian architecture. Well, i'm not so enthusiastic for the whole brit-hype. Not yet. I want to look in the british soul and try to understand what's so fascinating about england. 02br
00Maybe i will experience culture shock. But it will be nothing new for me, cause i did it already when my family moved from Ukraine to Germany 12 years ago. So i know the language problems, the prejudices and the feeling of being a stranger. But i'm not afraid of these feelings. I'm looking forward to new view of life.02br
00I decided to go to Nottingham and not to London or Manchester, because i hope to find closer contact with other students and profs in a »small« city than it would be possible in anonymous big one. 02br
00I'm interested in graphic-design and illustration. Are there differences between german design and english design? Or are there nowdays no more local varieties in a globalized world, because we all use the same designing methods and designing-tools from adobe? I heard from a fellow student that the English attach more importance to research then we do. So is the englisch design even more top-heavy/rational than german. Is it possible? 02br
00Its time to attack prejudices ...0-
