Sweet cold United Kingdom

You like new york city? well, you’ll love the UK - the original version and the source to parts of the finest architecture and is similiar by weather and rush.

I got to the UK by pure chance as I could choose a time period between flight to flight while travelling to and from the USA.

One of first things you’ll find out is that London hotels are not cheap and trying to find an alternative, that would not get you to share a room with 5 more strangers, is not so easy.

If you already found a place you can stay for the few days from your arrival, you could start managing your trip on your own - renting a car, which is not expensive as you might think - but just keep in mind that you will be driving on the left.

In an early stage of your trip it is already smart to book your Edinburgh hotels and even Glasgow hotels if you’re heading towards that direction, hotels in those areas are highly recommended and are much cheaper than hotels in London. It is not even recommended to order a motel room unless you really are travelling on a low budget - trying to catch as much as you can for as little as you can.

Most UK people are not the worm inviting people you can find in other places in the world although there are exceptions (one place in particular is a small town called Beth which has a remarkable views and landscape and nice welcoming people).

Actually as far as getting direction and getting help from people in a time of need - it is mainly in London where you will find that people just don’t have time for you and would ramble you a few words that you would try to understand until they are way out of sight already. If you look at the positive side - it is a new culture you’re visiting and you should accept and enjoy their behaviors - and with that don’t miss - DON’T MISS - a soccer game - one of more famous expiriences in the UK, in which thousands of people are sharing 90 exciting minutes together and the group feeling is uncomparable.
