Orientation:
The United Kingdom consists of four countries – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The union of these contrasting countries each with their equally colourful people makes for a unique travelling experience.
England is a very modern nation where freedom, democracy and tolerance of other cultures are values that are highly prized.
The big cities of London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool are incredibly lively and fast paced, whereas the small towns and villages that dot the countryside are far more relaxed.
To complain about the weather is a British tradition, yet the moist and breezy oceanic climate has many compensations. Though grey days sometimes seem to prevail over sunny ones, change is frequent.
