Long live the Queen! England stop number six on our world tour.
England or Great Britain to which it is sometimes referred almost ruled the entire world a century ago. Although the need for conquering the world and Kings and Queens have become more of an authority “figure” than actual authority, people in England are still proud of their country and heritage.
This country has come a long way from a gigantic colonial empire to a proud and active member of the EU.
Comprised mainly of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom is full of scenic locales and energetic cities, the capital city is London. London is a city beyond comparison, representing itself as an icon of diversity with people from different races, creeds and all walks of life blended into its culture, in fact, England itself is home to nearly two million heritage points.
England is famous for its’ many architectural marvels, most notably the London Bridge.
The cities of York and Durham manifests the bygone era of country while Liverpool and Newcastle are modern industrial marvels. England can roughly be defined as a melting pot of just about everything you can imagine in the world in one place.
The country boasts a staggering population of around 61 million people, yet there is but one official language; English. Other regional languages spoken are Welsh, Scottish, Gaelic, and Irish but English is most often used.
It is customary when you are meeting somebody for the first time to offer out your hand to shake. When visiting someone’s house a small gift like flowers or chocolates is customary. An interesting etiquette to note; it is common practice to wait until everyone is served before eating.
