IN the 80s, there was a song released by Sting entitled An Englishman in New York. It talks about an English dude wandering around the streets of Lower Manhattan. But what about the opposite? What if you’re a guy from New York and you would try to have a one-week spring break in London or any other place in England. Surely, England is definitely a place not similar to the United States. Of course, everybody speaks English here but theirs is peculiar because they don’t sound the letter r. In fact, English here is said to be the most articulate English in the world and is even imitated and adapted by the Indians even though they have a weird and very heavy accent.

Thus, England may well be a Babel place for you. It’s not just English that you have to grasp here, you’ll have to learn how to drive, too. You need to drive to the right. Driving on the right side of the road has never been more clearly expounded than in Tom Clancy’s novel Patriot Games.

And speaking of movies, why not rent movies with English actors and actresses while vacationing here in England during spring break. Just choose a very competent English lawyer who is familiar with real estate laws in the United Kingdom to go with you on various home inspections. United Kingdom is actually a vast territory, the bulk of which is the Island of Great Britain which includes the landlocked capital London. Of course, there’s the Isle of Man and Scotland so there are really plenty of spaces to choose. Here in Great Britain alone, there are plenty of cities to travel and choose properties, whether for residential or commercial purpose and whether you’re a foreigner or not. There’s the city of Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol and Birmingham. If you want to be near the famous Stonehenge, then there are also properties for sale that are in the city of Salisbury (your agencia de viajes can arrange trips for you!).

You certainly need a visa to come here if you come from the United States but if you come from mainland Europe, you don’t need a visa. Even though Great Britain is not part of mainland Europe, you can get here via train going through the great Channel Tunnel which runs about 50 kilometers long. Going here via train from France may be cheaper than flying overhead to Gatwick.
