I have
visited Great Britain three times, if I count correctly.
First
time I was there send by my parents to learn language for two weeks
or something. I was staying in my fathers friend family. If I
remember well, family was living in New Castle. Actually I start to
think that the place was after all Middlesbrough. They were proud of
James Cook there as he was born there. And we did some travelling
around. We visited York, which in my memories was a city with old
stone buildings and some record shops. Also I remember to have some
time of of my own there. I was teenager then and family I visited
was worried of me. Then I remember we were going to some seaside
city, my guess would be Scarborough. I remember it was place of many
casinos.
Second
time it was in London, and round trip to Bath and Stonehenge. I was
about 20 years old and I did some museums, bars, concerts and
shopping. I stayed one week.
Third
time it was in Aberdeen, where my father was working. That happened
after year 2000. I was there two weeks. We
did some travelling around and I was by myself often also in Aberdeen
city. City was grey, and paintings in museum was grey also and I liked
it. I remember in super market shopping trolleys was giant
comparing to my experience, and also packages of food and things like
washing powders.
So my first hand knowledge about Great Britain is limited. ( I don't even know how I
should call it Great Britain, Britain, UK...?) But I like lot of
things from Great Britain!
