Some general thoughts about England.
- Way too many people in such a tiny space
- There seems to be more French people than English! We seemed to be surrounded by French people in our hotel as well as just walking around the streets (most carrying around Louis Vitton bags I might add), having said that it's only a two hour train ride from Paris to London and we were right across from King's Cross station. But there even seemed to be more French waitresses and waitors than English.
- In general people were very nice, we did have some not so nice people, but most were very friendly.
- The houses in the suburban areas look just like you would expect them to, so lovely :)
- However the suburban areas were just as congested as the cities!
- Beautiful architecture. Just stunning.
- Amusing accents. They're all so different!
- Gorgeous country side and country villages (still congested!)
- London's people traffic on the pathways, was just as bad as the vehicle traffic on the roads! There were tons and tons of people walking on the streets, it was hectic! And as for the traffic on the streets? Well, everyone here thinks that they're the King of the road and gives no mercy! And for anyone reading who knows how my Dad drives... they're all the same as him, if not worse.
- Excellent shopping :)
- English speaking country is always a bonus.
- Cold... very very cold!
- Very historical! A beautiful sense of being somewhere that had so much history and so many stories attached to it.
- Yummy food! There was lots of traditional English foods offered on menus which was nice, in pubs etc. and a large variety of restaurants (Chinese, Thai, French, Italian etc.). And of course there was Maccas & Subway and all of those fast food places we have at home, which was an easy fix at meal times. Overall, the food was very nice :)
- Felt as if there was too much to see and not enough time to see it in.
- Overall an amazing and very beautiful country with so much to offer!
