I can take or leave London myself! However me and my friends enjoy doing the monopoly pub crawl! You visit a pub on every street of the monopoly board and try to finish the board in one day! Its a good way to see the city without all the tourist crap and you get to see some amazing pubs! Like the Ye olde Chesire cheese which is one of the older pubs in cen central Lonbdon, rebuilt in 1667.
Because the Renaissance happened.
I spent 3yrs at a SW1 address and concur; it is one of my least favorite parts of the UK. I approach the city abit like a 'hit and run' project, do the sights and get out. It was just way to fast for my liking....
Not seen much of England outside of London but I prefer an Irish sized city, where I'm never more than 30mins drive from the countryside. London is too grey.
You wouldn't survive the diseases that were current then such as the Black Death, the hygiene standards would have killed you otherwise.
make sure you take a high quality camera with loads of spare memory. Scenery is just stunning.
Studied in Turkey for a year and spent a few months in Spain studying Spanish , working with woofing.org or workaway.info or just sleeping outside. Looking to move to one of these countries on more of a long term basis in the near future so if anyone wants to join me (or even come visit when i have long term accommodation) then drop me a pm. Also visited France a lot as a kid and visited Bulgaria and Georgia while In Turkey.Hey, it's Sunday! Let's have a break and probably a drink, shall we?
So, have you been to Europe and what do you think about it?
Risky, I dig what your saying and agree.
such is life, and death.
Having been on both sides of that, I say 'no blood no foul'.
Ah, if only I could afford to live in Paris. No matter, I'll take most anyplace other than Calais. Some people don't like France because they were told not to by the Bush government. The only rude person I've met in Paris was an old bitch working in the change window at the pay toilets at the Gare du Nord. Even the French people in the queue behind me were calling her names. On the other hand I can't count the number of people who have been helpful and frequently polite.
I have not been to Budapest, but I'd very much like to go there. Oddly, I have met several Romanians living in here in Arizona. I'm not sure why that is.
I love dirty old Dublin. I can't be there too often. For reasons I can't explain I find the brogue easier to understand in Cork! Assbackwards, I know. Anywhere in Ireland is grand, though Limerick doesn't rock me, even if it's where my family is from. Favorites would be difficult to list beyond Dublin, but I like Clifden and Galway. I nearly froze my nuts off one night at a B&B in Tralee. Killarney is fun. My wife's favorite outside Dublin. Doolin is great.
London: ****ty food, unless you're eating Indian. Great techno scene. Discovered that Scottish chicks are slutty as hell. Loved the Tate Modern and the Globe Theatre. Ridiculously expensive.Hey, it's Sunday! Let's have a break and probably a drink, shall we?
So, have you been to Europe and what do you think about it?
Interesting. Unfortunately I've only been there a few hours, between planes so I couldn't properly say that I've toured it.
