If you don't live in england but have visited...?

Question

What did you like best about it and what was the worst thing?

Answer 1

I was in England for only a week, but the only thing that I have to complain about is the currency change everything there is twice as expensive for Americans since the trade in ratio is 2:1. Other than that I was in love with the UK and I didn't want to come back. I think that the food was ok, it just isn't what Americans are used to. I stayed in a hotel where dinner and breakfast were included in the price of the hotel and the dinners were always amazing. They had a desert called sticky pudding and I had it almost every night. I loved the culture. Here in America you don't feel like you are getting an education just walking down a street, at least in most places. England has a lot of new city style built around the old existing structures and they are beautiful. I loved that you could go and tour castles just about any time that you wanted to. The bars were really no fun, but the people were nice and I enjoyed listening to everyone talk. I visited Cheddar Gorge when I was there and talk about some great cheese and the prettiest little village. If you go to England I would stop there if you are into little shops and pretty scenery. Things were also pretty cheap there, adn the candy story they had there was to die for. I also visited a little winery while I was there and their apple cider was incredible as well as their wine. The thing that I loved the most though was I asked the man who owned the winery why he didn't import to the States and he said it was because he was simply enjoying what he was doing and wasn't interested in all the extra that came with trying to import, including the money. So many people there were just content to live life with "enough" not with all the extras that Americans try to to acquire in life. They lived at a much slower pace, I loved it.

Answer 2

I'm from England but I'm answering anyway! If your visiting England and castles and culture are your thing then you must visit York. The whole city is built around a castle with the remains of old walls scattered amongst new buildings. It also has an amazing minster (check it out on the Internet). If scenery is your bag then the lake district is perfect for walks in the countryside (summer only).

Answer 3

I lived in Britain for 9 months. What I liked the best was the culture. The history, attitudes, and people were wonderful. Even the most mundane things seemed special. Going to the store or a pub, working, or just walking down the street... it all seemed more culturally fulfilling.

What I liked the least was the food. Everything is more expensive in Britain compared to where I come from, which added to the problem. Nothing worse than overpaying for food that is not all that good to begin with. There were exceptions, but generally speaking I thought the food sucked.
