I almost told them that the war was over 70 years ago and to move on. I've always found French people in Normandy really pleasant but it's a long time since I went to Paris. Its funny how people have different experiences. I found the people in Berlin to be some of the friendliest people I have ever encountered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is pretty good (apart from overpacked, unreliable rush hour metro trains) I used to think so but when you've experienced rush hour (well, 3pm - 10pm) in places like Jakarta, Bangkok and Manila, you realise it isn't so bad after all! Those cities are mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to France far more often than any other country, and my experiences have been 99% positive (you'll get the 1% arseholes absolutely everywhere). The bad things about Paris are no different from the bad things about London. Provincial France is simply delightful - beautiful countryside, fabulous food, and I've never had any problem with the people. I don't really want to live anywhere other than where I am now, but if I had to, it would be rural France in a heartbeat. Amen to this. Esp Bordeaux...and the local girls there were 99.99% stunning.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved down here from Brum saying I'd do a yea, two at most. 19 years later and I still love it. Same. There’s always a corner of London that I haven’t discovered yet, and when I do, it usually still leaves me in awe. There’s always new and interesting stuff going on, new places opening up, or different areas/streets to explore. It’s a living, breathing city that constantly evolves. It’s also multicultural to an extent which, unless you’ve spent a reasonable amount of time here, you probably vastly underestimate. I’ve met fascinating people from SO many different countries whom I’d have never met living elsewhere in the UK. Living in London has genuinely been a truly enjoyable, life enriching & character building experience - best decision I ever made. I still love it. If I ever get bored of London, I reckon I’ll just be bored of life full stop. Dr P loves it really. He’s been threatening to move away for ages 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I want a big house in a nice area that's close to where I work, I'll be getting that when I move back to Birmingham, zero chance of that in London and it's not like I earn a pittance. Take your point about the other stuff, that has been great, but it's not something that necessarily makes me tick so happy to do without it, at least, I think so.
