You can dress down, be eccentric, be a punk, and noone bats you an eyelid.” Another aspect of London life that Guiliana found differentwas its multi-cultural population. “I’ve never seen so many different nationalities,and from places I’d never heard of! People seemed to co-exist really well then,whereas now I feel that people are a bit more suspicious of each other. That’s a pity.”Guiliana was also astounded by the number of thrift shops in the high streets. “It’snot very common at all in Brazil to buy used stuff. You donate it to high schools andthey take it to the poor. For me, that was quite unique to London.”
