London

Here we are, the United Kingdom: my miserable, rainy and cold, yet exciting, memorable and enriching homeland.
I've lived in London my whole life, but as much as I love this place, I really want to leave and explore the rest of the world!
But in the meantime I'll just share with you a few little items of interest about this country.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Relatively safe and hospitable
Cons:Bad weather, some parts are unfriendly
In a nutshell:My homeland! :)

Last visit to United Kingdom: Dec 2004

It's the exchange with your pound and the euro which adds to, as you say: not "that" cheap ;-)... but your UK has a great charm!!! and I really liked what I saw of it, not enough anyway, I wished to see more!!

I finally got my first passport last year, and traveled to London in June. I'd love to return to UK and travel around. Thanks for the tips.
