England ?

Gemini: England. They say Gemini has two sides and wants it both ways, and no country satisfies that fantasy like England. It's both terribly sophisticated and utterly rustic -- and one is just a few minutes' drive from the other. The formal splendor and palaces and museums of London start to give way right outside their "beltway" ("ringroad," please), and in a hour's time you can drop back millenia to the Stone Age at Stonehenge or Avebury, or the compelling spirituality of Glatonbury Tor, King Arthur's Isle of Avalon. Bed-and-breakfast places are not only affordable, they're really the way to know the people, cool but cordial, surprisingly approachable. Most especially for that cornerstone of England, the "proper English breakfast" -- fried everything and, if you're in the North, don't forget the black pudding! Although the sophistication of Soho, Carnaby St., Hyde Park, may stimulate your Gemini mind, it is the landscape, the constantly changing skies, the private corners around every corner that give this small country its endless bounty, the scope of Empire within the size of the Empire State. Endless, hidden pristine villages, tiny cloistered gardens, ruined monasteries, sheep-filled moors, windswept islands, placid rivers, shining cliffs, all neatly partitioned together like compartmented thoughts in a well-schooled mind. Gemini, indeed. A paradise of instant-access variety for the small-car adventurer (it's the only way to go, forget Britrail) who can handle the left-hand side of the road! There is no country in the world with more to offer in less space, unless you count the inside of your computer and the Internet. And they speak English!...
I have ALWAYS wanted to pay a visit to Great Britain. It's very original, sophisicated, and traditional. It's it's very on BOSS!! Just freaking ROCKS that's all.
Unlike some countries that mimicks...
Hi everyone. The grass is always greener on the other side. Try travelling on the London underground train on a hot summers day, all sweaty. Try travelling on our crowded roads. It took me 3 hours to do an 11 mile journey to home the other night from work, as there had been an accident on the main road. chaos. Everything in the UK is overpriced. The politicians drive me up the wall, all they do is lie to the people. you are better off in the USA. I live 11 miles from Central London, to drive through the city we now have to pay a congestion charge of GBP 8 per visit.
