MythBuster: the good, bad and ugly of London

London is one of the biggest metropolitans in the world. Not only that, it is also has historical significance as you know Britain colonized most of the globe at one point in history. Anyhow this is my attempt at a comprehensive (um no...rather opinionated) look at what is good, bad and ugly about London.

The good :
# Beautiful city!! really you just have to look at the right places. Central London is one of my favourite spots. I love hanging out there.
#Amazing transport system in the city (Yes Canada this is aimed at you! improve please).
# The groceries here are fairly affordable! Actually. Contrary to what many people may think and to what I had thought.
# Most museums are free to enter.
#Cheap and good fish and chips is available. =) Yayz!
#People have amazing accents that is hard to follow but awesome to listen to.


The bad:
# People really can't be bothered to be courteous. That said, there are courteous people as well.
# Crime hot spots all over the city!! really gotta be careful with your stuff
# Living is expensive, and it is overcrowded.
# Rain is frequent but not always (really it doesnt rain everyday) there is sun here and it might rain once a week or so.
#Churches like St. Pauls and Westminister Abbey cost you money. Huh??
#No drinking at concerts and football games. -_- I am miffed already. How do you go to concerts like Floyd and not drink people? Seriously!

The funny:
# Rihanna's song S&M has a line called 'Chains and whips excite me'...in UK radio it is censored to '***** and *****' Interesting I thought ;)

Will keep this updated.
