back to grey, miserable and disgusting London
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE
Every fricking body has a screwface on. Everything is gloomy. Nobody talks to each other. Everybody is out to get you. Everybody enforces the rat race even though they supposedly hate it. Everything sucks. It's cold. It's dirty. It's not the way to live.

Seeing as how you're OP, you could always find joy in sucking wiener
Spanish wiener? Maybe. A Spaniard would probably say vale vale! and then gracia after you suck his wiener. A Londoner would not say anything, make you feel like you're worthless because you're not a high earning engineer or you're working class and then probably stab you at the end of it before rushing away for the Tube to get back to the meat grinder
we were fine until you showed up
Wow. A Spaniard would never say that, you c**t. Puta cabron
>Puta cabron
lol face it anon you're a sour c**t wherever you go. if you weren't, you wouldn't be posting stuff on here thinking you're the first british person to ever go to fricking spain
Who
bullshit i was in London end of december and it was warmer than in Poland and no snow, honestly it was pretty comfy
>Warmer than in Poland
Anywhere is warmer than in Poland in December. Unless you're Romanian or something. It was 29 degrees in Malaga yesterday
You don't know me
Your weather makes me irrationally angry. I will become Spanish citizen soon, thank god for the EU.
Frick you it was not 29 degrees in Málaga yesterday.
I was there, I was 19c.
Also britbongs gtfo let us Germans have southern spain.
>Germans have southern spain.
frick off back to your grim shithole
Ironic coming from an isle ape

Actually agree OP. Northern countries are not hospitable climates. I do wonder why whites chose these harsh environments to live when we had conquered the whole world back in the day and could've settled anywhere. Vitamin D literally is the miracle vitamin. The difference in the average normie's temperament between Summer & Winter is massive. Nobody should be living anywhere North of Mediterranean countries, leave these desolate hellholes for the bears & the crows!
It's fricking true as well. A whole group of people thought settling in cold weathers without any sun is a good idea. For what? Not that crops get any better or there's more fauna to hunt. I just don't fricking get it. I need to go buy some more Vitamin D. This just ain't it lad
I could go down a few conspiracy rabbit holes as to why we ended up here but this is the wrong board for it. Nevertheless I personally believe humans are tropical creatures and any time spent outside the tropics is actually damaging ones health. Is it any wonder dementia & other mental illnesses are so high in the West, the lack of sun is literally driving people crazy. If you are not able to wear shorts & nothing else all the time, you are outside your natural habitat.... that's my philosophy. Unfortunately my work requires me to be in the UK for 7-8 months of the year but if I can get my shit together, I'm going to South America, Australia or SEA for the Winter months going forward.... I don't think I have it in me to do another damp, windy & grey British Winter.
>Is it any wonder dementia & other mental illnesses are so high in the West, the lack of sun is literally driving people crazy
Do britoids really think the entire Western world is as grey and gloomy as their country? Lmao
Northern France, Low Countries, northern Germany, northern USA, Canada and Scandinavia are the same, and let's be honest, where else is even relevant
>I do wonder why whites chose these harsh environments to live when we had conquered the whole world back in the day and could've settled anywhere.

I love being spanish.
Buddy I’ve been waiting to go back to Thailand since march 4th 2022 I don’t wanna fricking hear it. The degree of yearning and longing I feel regularly would kill a Normie. They would die
I know somebody that went to Thailand in their mid 30's and now they're 52 and only been back like three times. The more places I go to the more I understand. Stay strong lad. I believe you, not an easy feeling coming back to this plastic side of the world.
Thanks. When my lease ends July 22 2024 I’m quitting my job and going the frick back
>omg i'm really really looking forward to my holiday!
anon you are a "normie"
>You don't know me
yeah we do though don't we
This map should guide people when choosing where to expat to.
Literally essential viewing. It's interesting to note many countries on the equator & lower tropics have a relatively low amount of total sunshine hours. Colombia being case in point, clear blue skies days are a rarity there, its typically overcast and muggy there. I personally hate that kind of weather. Sub tropics are where its at IMO - California/Mediterranean climate is GOAT
They have dry and rain season you moron, in dry season its balls hot and sunny all the time. Still hot and humid in rainy season but you will get thunderstorms and rain a lot, depends on the day.
That map is really inaccurate though. There are micro climates all over the place that aren't accounted for. You'd be pissed if you showed up in Hilo Hawaii and expected it be sunny. It rains like 200 days of year there.
> Every fricking body has a screwface on. Everything is gloomy. Nobody talks to each other. Everybody is out to get you. Everybody enforces the rat race even though they supposedly hate it. Everything sucks. It's cold. It's dirty. It's not the way to live.
I think you might be in an American city
UK is worse. Where do you think the US got it from.
Why are anglos like this though
Every place built by anglos eventually becomes a no-fun zone
>Everybody enforces the rat race even though they supposedly hate it
That is a load of complete and utter fricking nonsense and anyone who lives in London knows plenty of people who mysteriously live in council flats and do the bare minimum to get by
Just got back to the grey, miserable and disgusting UK from the grey, miserable and disgusting low countries + Berlin. It's just as bad in everything as it is here, and then I got (probably) covid and felt like total shit for the last few days. At least now I can fricking die in peace at home instead of pressuring myself to spend hours seeing things in a place I'll probably never be in again while feeling like I want to drop dead. Don't know what motivated me to go there at this time of the year
I’m in Portugal and it’s been sunny, but eight degrees. Wanna switch? I’m working a job I hate and live in a society that I can’t stand.
Wtf I thought London sounded nice
Classy tea time with finely dressed gentlemen
I thought that is how London was anyways
Bait
Don't work, but somehow be rich. Live in Mayfair and only spend your time there.
You might enjoy "the London life"
I stayed in Mayfair at a posh hotel, was exactly what I was looking for
How much was it for a night?
This was a number of years ago so I don’t remember, but looking at the prices now it’s like £375 a night for a basic single bed at the cheapest times, about £850 for a single room with a king bed and such. I think we got the (now) £2000 2 bedroom apartment, but ofc costs were split
Frick man, wouldn't it be nice to be you. What do you do?
Serious question, can't you get a job in Malaga? That city is becoming a big hub for working expats (not just retired c**ts anymore). Tons of tech companies springing up. As a brit you'll be valued much higher than the locals. Valencia is also becoming a trendy place with expats. Barcelona is a shithole, avoid at all costs. Madrid is ok but no beach nearby, and it does get cold in the winter.
There are no jobs in Spain, they will not hire foreigners over Spanish for good jobs.
>you'll be valued much higher than the locals
This is almost never the case.
>As a brit you'll be valued much higher than the locals.
>Barcelona is a shithole
What in the godliving frick are you talking about? Anglos are treated like shit in Malaga, and their beaches are utter trash. Also, Barcelona is far more developed and has a lot more going on.
100% correct.
London is a depressing as frick cesspit that resembles Mumbai and Mogadishu.
t.Londoner
NYC is such a shithole I thought the people in london were nice
Seriously what do we do? This was never supposed to be life. I'm running out of ideas as dreading waking up in this bleak place every day.
I hear you, anon. I was in New Zealand for most of November, came back to London and instantly regretted stepping off the plane. God I wish I could afford to go back.
Funny, I feel the same way except I just got back from a trip to London. I wish every day I was back there.
What the frick is your damage?
I must have travelled during the only week the sun came out because it's an amazing city in my mind, cool people, beautiful downtown, the works. The tube was very clean, there's no trash all over the place except for certain blocks (whitechapel get your shit together), and the nightlife is pretty cool. I can't imagine how brits are so miserable living there but it certainly has a reputation for gloom. Live in any major american city for a day and you'll want to have a nice day and all your neighbors, you don't have it that bad.
You went in holiday to go somewhere like Whitechapel, are you alright? I wouldn't ever normally defend that place but you can't choose to waste your own time going to a disgusting area to tell them to get do better just for you.
if you are doing something like a literary tour then whitechapel has a somewhat important history
as well as all that nasty murder stuff of course
I can almost guarantee no literary tour will lose any value by missing Whitechapel out.
In fact there's actually more to be gained by not embarrassing yourself and bringing people to an Indian feces put and ruining their pleasant experience of England.
yeah whitechapel is a dump
>literary tour
>Whitechapel
I know basically every square meter of London can be claimed to be the space where _x_ writer once had a shit but you’re pretty much only getting murder there. Bloomsbury is the literary mecca.
I lived in Dalston in 2017. I went back to England in 2018 but not London, but I am going back there for a few days next May and staying off the Westminster Bridge. East London is a shithole, but I thought the center and some other neighborhoods were quite nice. I’m from NYC and I think London was nicer in a lot of ways, and some ways worse, but I don’t know what the post covid/george floyd/brexit/elizabeth London is like. The funeral and coronation looked pretty kino to me
In what was do you think London is worse?
London reminds me of New York in a lot of ways, except amplified. The good parts are extremely nice and in my opinion, the nice parts of NY pale in comparison. NY overall is an absolute shithole especially now (I haven't been to Manhattan in a few years and I hope to never step foot on that island again, 15 years of working there every day is enough for me) and there are lots of bad parts. East London feels like another planet out of a sci fi movie, in a bad way. I really hate to make this stupid comparison but it feels like a Star Wars movie where there's hundreds of different aliens everywhere. New York just has run of the mill hispanics and nogs, London feels like another planet. But if you stay in Central London and go to the good neighborhoods its great. I suppose a similar thing could be said for NYC but NYC is like a cheap simulation of London
Very interesting, I e always wondered how each differ. Sad to hear our politicians have fricked it up worse than NY's though. I'll never understand why they decided they'd like a quarter of the city to look like that.
It’s not possible to frick up more than America. Please believe the other anon who said you people don’t know how good you have it.
Try Morocco next time. They have great weather in the winter, sunny and warm, a bit rainy sometimes. It gets colder inland, but the coast is amazing. Tangier, Essaouira, great places to get rid of your winter blues. Just ignore the locals as much as possible, they will all try to rip you off if they see you're a tourist.
>spend a month in japan, an expensive place to visit
>come home to australia
>everything is doubly expensive as japan
I hate living in the west so fricking much its unreal
I hate cities but where I'm from it's also gloomy, cloudy, rainy like the UK and I like it because it's where I grew up. I feel like I'm home.
>lives in London
>wonders why it's a shithole
you c**ts need to be nuked and/or raped enmasse
let me guess, London isn’t “real England”?
Post hand, Black person
I am from NYC and I am telling you compared to American cities London is a paradise. I know it’s hard for you to believe because Europeans love b***hing about how hard they allegedly have it, but it’s the truth. I hear the same nonsense argument here
>the cities where 85% of the population of the country lives isn’t really the country
>this village of 15 people in a field is actually America
yeah there’s brown people and it sucks and I wish they weren’t there I don’t know what else to tell you were not going to live in an empty field with nothing
>Black person doesn't post hand
I hope you were raped as a kid you fricking dirty Black person
can you explain what real England and America are now since it’s apparently not where the overwhelming majority of people including white British and white Americans live?
Why does SighSee think every anon is black especially if you don't agree with them, where is the correlation? It always sounds like very low intelligence thinking.
SighSee is white, stop asking people to post their hands you weirdo it's getting old.
Malaga is such a shithole full of scheming browns and drunk, cattle-class brits
that's the Costa del sol, not Málaga you spaz
Have you never been to the center of Malaga?
Wait frick, I am and that was meant for
Watch old videos of London from the 1960s it used to be completely different than today. Thank god for diversity.
?si=XstA_6gUIm9t8IMc
I listen to a lot of nazi skinhead british music from the 80s and early 90s. does being a fascist make one clairvoyant?
Those British Pathé and kinolibrary films of Carnaby St, etc. in the swinging 60s are, well, kino. But an even greater diff than the racial bit is the fact that there’s just so many young people. Now it’s nothing but olds.
>there’s just so many young people. Now it’s nothing but olds.
this seems somehow more poignant than the Great Replacement. It's really sad
Hol up. Where all da homies?
Not a single brown/black person in sight. London really has fallen
just head to the McDonalds. It will feel like you never left.
Im from seattle and I always felt the same way coming home from a warm or tropical vacation. If youre a uk citizen you could always move to Gibraltar
Fricking Britbongs
Nunca serás un malagueño de verdad. No sabes español, ni eres saleroso, ni sabes qué es una pechá o una mijilla. Eres un guiri homosexual convertido por un par de playas y Cruzcampos a 3€ en una bestia color gamba que es ridiculizada por la perfección andaluza.
Toda la "amabilidad" que recibes es solo hipocresía para sacarte la pasta. Los chavales te llaman guiri a tus espaldas. Avergüenzas y le das asco a tus vecinos, tus "amigos" se burlan de tu desgraciada apariencia a escondidas.
Los malagueños nos morimos de asco tan pronto como te vemos. Miles de anglos muertos por el balconing nos han permitido detectarte con una eficiencia increíble. Incluso los que se sacan el DNI son considerados guiris y gilipollas. Tu acentillo de mierda te delata. Y aún si pillas a un "amigo" borracho, se va a pirar cagando leches como se le pase el pedo.
Nunca serás feliz. Le sonreirás con falsedad al cajero del Maskom todos los días y te intentarás convencer de que le caes bien a la gente, pero en el fondo te corroe la depresión, suficiente para derrumbarte bajo su insoportable peso.
En algún momento será demasiado - pillarás un billete de Ryanair por 300€ sin maletas facturadas y volverás a tu fría chabola infestada de moros en L*ndres. Tus ex-vecinos no te encontrarán en el rellano, aliviados de saber que no tendrán que lidiar de nuevo con el puto guiri insípido de los cojones. Tu ex-casero le alquilará tu piso a un palmillero y tus ex-vecinos dirán que prefieren un gitano a un inglés. Te pudrirás en L*ndres comiendo paella con chorizo del súper, y lo que quedará será el recuerdo de un guiri de mierda que nunca fue malagueño.
>Jumps on u
My best memory of Spain is the Mercado, a kind of supermarket open 24 hours a day. What a pleasure to go shopping in the evening. Whereas here, after 6pm, everything's closed.
>a kind of supermarket open 24 hours a day
Black person lmao spain is one of the worst places in the entire world to find shit open 24h
if anything you're talking about the usual bazar chino/paki

I moved from the UK to Spain this year.
No, it’s not the craziest move anyone has ever made, nor is it some ground breaking life change, but it’s probably the best thing I ever did.
I just couldn’t stand the UK any more. I genuinely hand on heart don’t like the culture, and what it has become. Especially youth culture. It’s utterly despicable.
Night-life is horrendous. In and out of London, there just isn’t a pleasant atmosphere in the UK to go out anymore for me. Friends who are in the know (and friends I have who have been part of certain scenes for 40+ years tell me it’s the huge influence of coke in the UK which has fricked the place up).
Ethnics run affray everywhere and have basically shittified the whole country and poor whites have basically become worse versions of them. To think that Birmingham is the UK’s second most important and valuable city tells me everything. It’s basically a Muslim colony at this stage unironically. I fricking despise it.
That’s not to mention that the majority of British cities are incredibly drab, grey and fake.
Honestly, frick Britain. I’ll never live there again. Get out whilst you can
how do I leave 🙁
I feel stuck.
I'm a student doing a "useless" degree... Tell me I have hope
I have no degree yet made it work. Where there’s a will, there’s a way Anon.
Searching for about 9 months.
The thing is, if you’re working in one of the big cities, there are well paying jobs around, there’s no doubt about that. You just really need to spend time looking to find them.
>Searching for about 9 months.
That's rough, but hey, it paid off in the end. What is it that you do now?
not that anon but I'm a midwit with a useless degree. I taught myself how to program and now I work as a software dev in Madrid making a cool 70K euros/year. Not the best salary in the world, but pretty decent for here.
Nothing special. I just work an office job, albeit for an interesting, very international company.
See the thing is with Spain, big MNCs are there, it’s just a really competitive market, especially when your selling point is just speaking English. Every fricking young person in Europe speaks English, it’s nothing special.
Luckily, I had 5 years working in quite a specialist field back in London which helped me when it came to actually getting a job.
There are underground parties, but you have to consider A) the people that live in London and B) it’s an insanely expensive, highly densely populated place.
London doesn’t really have a young middle class anymore. If you’re young, say under 25, your family are either wealthy and you’re going to private invitation only parties and clubs, or you’re black and poor. There’s very little middle ground, and the clubs that are for the middle ground are full of tourists and out-of-towers.
>Every fricking young person in Europe speaks English
This is so untrue it hurts. I work at a big MNC and the amount of applicants we reject because their english is not up to par is ridiculous. I do agree that if that's your only selling point you're screwed, but given equal skills and education, being a native english speaker will give you that extra to put you above the local competition.
How did you find a well-paying job in Spain?
I seriously don't get why does London have such shit clubs and parties?
like not even one good underground club?
we don't tell outsiders about the good places
What's good to you?
I was at MOT a couple of times but it seems very hit and miss. London crowds seem very chatty and not up for dancing and partying.
No idea about mot, I don't go to clubs. But I know what London is all about looking good and going out to be seen wherever you are.
I haven't seen what it's like in other countries so I've got nothing to compare it to but from what you say I guess you're used to having a more of a free spirited time.
why the frick are you even communicating with me then? frickin normies
You're the normal guy, you're a clubber kek
I asked because I've lived in London my whole life, I know what goes on. I wanted to know what you were looking for so maybe I could tell you if it exists or not.
then leave London moron, oh wait you cant because of Brexit HAHA
I live in Liverpool and although it's not as bad as London, I still hate it here. Japan was a fricking paradise in comparison when I went in March this year.
UK bros join me in Malta at the end of Jan
£80 for a week in a hotel and ~£20 ryanair flights each way. You can come up with any cope you want about it but it beats being here and it will tide me over until I can frick off to Japan in March

I was about to criticise your choice before finishing your comment but you're right, good plan.
And the third image in that picture really hit me, how is this the life I deserve? I actually think I should just kill myself at this point
I paid 20 euros each way to Palermo, and got an Airbnb for 20 per night. There's sunny getaways out there boys, escape your prisons.
Another one I'd recommend is Morocco. Tetouan is a lovely place with super cheap flights.
I haven't seen these kind of dirt cheap flights for a couple of years, no even sure if it's possible anymore.
Ryanair, Madrid to Palermo. Also saw Prague to Palermo, and return flights as well. For end of January.
Like I mentioned, Madrid-Tetouan is 18 euros, Madrid-Krakow for 27 (an asolute beauty of a city, and January is a comfy time to visit), many more offers. It's just a matter of looking.
flying to europe has never been cheaper than it is now
all those prices are return tickets from London for a 1 week trip at some point in the next 6 months
good comment. sadly, i am working full time until April then off to japan for 3 weeks. Have a right mind to quit work and then just stay there for 6 months on travellers visa
update: it was a nice and sunny 20c here today, great weather for a long hike. was -6 when i left the uk a few days ago, frick that
Sounds a lot like my experience in Toronto. Some nice spots and overall its not entirely bad but holy frick are people so head up ass insulated its insane. Nobody says hello to you unless its a homeless person asking for money.
That's all of Canada, and if people are saying hello they want something from you but on the internet all you ever hear is how FRIENDLY and NICE Canadians are lmfao what a load of horseshit. People are only nice here if they want something from you
Wow maybe it's just because I've never looked in Jan, too cold
Palermo should be nice in Jan, Morocco is absolutely lovely that time of the year. Of course it's as off-season as you can get, that's why the price is so low
And I wish I could be in London right now. You always want what you can never have. Suck it up
>go back to SOVLFVL London, the former center of western civilization for hundreds of years
ok bud
how about you go back to fricking Ohio next time
enjoy some fricking corn and Grandpa's Cheese Barn
>england's a dump
IT'S GREY WINDY AND A DUMP
the Málaga pill always hurts the most
You spend your time in smoky rooms
Where haggard old women with cheap perfume say
"It never happens for people like us, you know"
Well, nothing ever happened on its own
And while the toilet smells of desperation
The streets all echo of aggravation
And you wonder why you can't get no sleep
When you've got nothing to do, and you've got nothing to eat
Your life's slipping and sliding right out of view
And there's absolutely nothing that you can do
Dirty dishes from a TV meal
That went cold from the wind through a smashed up window
You can't go out if anybody calls you
'Cause you can't have a bath when there's no hot water
And your friends are out on the town again
And you ask yourself if it'll ever end
And it's all too much for your head to take
Just a matter of time before you break (well)
Bros I need mental help after booking a trip to London. Why did I do it. Why why why why why why why why
WHY DOES RYANAIR GO OUT OF STANSTEAD AND WHY DO BUS WEBSITES BARELY WORK AND WHY DOES THE ONLY TRAIN IN AND OUT COST MORE THAN THE RYANAIR TICKET
I'm done. I told myself I would never visit the UK and I betrayed myself. I will cherish this one trip as I thank my ancestors for going to America and saving me from this hell which I've naiively put myself back in.
try find a cheaper train ticket on thetrainline.com. I got a train next week to Stansted from the midlands, into London, then to Stansted for ~£13
>can't afford a fricking train ticket and goes to London
brain dead
no, rail in the uk is a fricking mess. they will happily show you a price 5x what it should be and present it as your only option
He's in London, not outside of London. London is ridiculous.
Haha I feel bad for you but it's alright, for most people I'm sure here is one of those places you just have to see once, you'd probably be curious your whole life if you didn't, try and enjoy the good parts as much as you can and be grateful you've got it out of the way early.
How long are you here for? And where are you staying? What else are you having trouble with?
Go to the Barbican centre today, then afterwards go to 'The prospect of Whitby' Pub, finishing off with a nice dinner if for a comfy not touristy day.
Heathrow and Gatwick are international.
Stanstead is for local + Europe.
Look for busses if you can, anything ran by the UK government is a ripoff.
Megabus goes to the airports
>Malaga
How was it? I was just looking at cheap flights to malaga
Beautiful, colourful, the people were great and the general atmosphere was even better. And the weather!! Truly a place to have a happy retirement
then move to malaga
