I thought London would be an English city.
even the english people in london are criminals
for each class in society
>I went to London without doing any research and it was a big city full of foreign people??? now let me tell you about the UK
gloomy,cloudy,boring,crowded
more muslims than britbongs at this point
I thought it would rain every day. I only had one rainy day in a week.
The thing about British weather is it gets a shitload of different weather systems colliding.
It gets every season and usually the weather associated with it but all the good parts of a season tend to get a 0.5x multiplier for the best parts. Summers are warm, sometimes hot but the hot weather doesn't tend to last longer and it gets very humid (in a country with minimal AC), sometimes summer just seems like extended spring. Winter gets cold but it rarely snows enough to settle and you get 6 hours of snow, 3 days of brown slush when it does. Autumn and spring tend to be constantly overcast and miserable with a rare unseasonably hot week in April to trick people into thinking the summer will be hot.
Ultimately a good 6 months of the year will be grey and overcast
London was quite a bit nicer then I thought it would be. Weather was great.
I went during the summer as a kid so I didn't even know until like a year ago that it's usually completely overcast. Kind of changed how I view medieval europe, I always thought those motherfuckers were doing battles in sunlight. Before I ever visited I thought London was going to kind of be like wichita ks, which was the only major city I went to as a kid and was my go-to when I thought about big cities. Was pleasantly surprised.
I thought it might be a neat cultural experience instead it was expensive, rainy, and full of shitty people and shitty food.
Beautiful balmy summers, never hot and never chilly. Pale white girls. Roads covered in way too many painted instructions. Fish and chips. Friendly rural pubs. Rustic beach getaway towns. Walking trails across private lands. Dry humor. High trust society. Wildflower meadows and pretty little farms. Tiny plots of woodland here and there.
