I lived there for a while, great place, friendly folk. Yall drive on the right/wrong side of the road, but that was kinda neat. The Buses and Transpotation system is amazeing. I played a fun game called Skittles? its like bowling, but its small and just fun.
The Pelican Crossings are just too much fun. And an adjustment for one that is so used to looking both ways, twice, then running across and hopeing a car doesnt kill me.
The country woods are elegant, the houses are expensive, but I guess everything is.
The Health Care thing is amazeing. Anybody that is sick walks into a Hospital and a Doctor/Nurse takes care of them.
There is no Your Black and I am White! There is no Your Muslim and I am Christian! People get along best as they can or they just dont bother one another, at least they dont go out of their way to spread hatred like here in America.
I am sure England/UK has its share of bigots and raceists, but for the most part, I didnt notice any.
Parks are allways nice and clean, policemen are nice and polite.If I could live there, I would. I would love to visit UK again, and I shall sail there one day for a visit.

A dichotomy actually. While I admire and respect some things in English culture that've proved helpful over the years I can't see it as much different than anywhere else in the world. I would imagine visiting but not to live. I live in the United States and, ironically, if the means become available, would not hesitate to leave here to live in Europe instead. Such choices have to be carefully weighed of course. But, I think I've seen enough. I know enough about England as well as the Englishmen I've encountered here over the years to be able to arrive at such a choice. You'd think, being able to speak English easily that would be my first choice; but, I'm flexible enough to undertake learning a whole new language. I will say this, in the U.S. there is a pervading spirit of maliciousness and evil right now irrespective of what people might say. England is considered a staunch ally of the U.S. So all one would have to do is put two and two together. England would have to defer to the U.S. right or wrong. Coupled with what is ostensible about England every which way. These are times where nothing can be effectually hidden. So much so, no one tries to. They as much as tell you what they are, but not so plainly as to be openly prosecutable.

When I think of the UK, or England I get the image of big ben, I don't know why but it always reminds me of like England in the early 1900's with Dr. Jackle and Jack the Ripper and things like that.

I am from Liverpool and its nice and the culture is great especially with the heritage of the Beatles. London is a s-h-i-t hole apart from the centre. Scotland is the best place in the UK. For the country but if i where to go to a city i would go to Liverpool my home city or a place like Leeds because its a good laugh.

I find many of them very arrogant.
