I've noticed a fair amount of London bashing, and England bashing, and Euro bashing on the eve of the London Olympics and I kinda wonder why.
I love London; I've travelled there a number of times and I've been all over the city, and all over England, and into Scotland and Wales, and also Northern Ireland, and I've travelled a quite a bit through the Republic of Ireland, too.
Britain and Ireland (yes, I know Ireland is not part of these Olympics and of course I am aware of the history of significant strife between the two countries; that said, you can get into Ireland real easily from Great Britain - ya just drive on in) are great places, and they're green and lush and the beer is great. Some say the food sucks but if you stick to traditional stuff like fish and chips and lamb shank and all that I think the food is good; plus there's real good Indian food pretty much anywhere you go, and Chinese and Thai food too.
Why the hate folks? What gives?
