There were some critiques of course, including the “astronomical” prices for accommodation, that stressful feeling (for continental Europeans) of having to drive on the “wrong side” of the road, and “loud, dirty diesel trains” while travelling within the UK. One anonymous German, while praising the integration of immigrant communities, also added: “There is a lot broken in the UK and the overall vibe feels off at times. Also, very few places in the UK feel very organic right now due to so many chains and large stores.”
Bruna, who recently visited Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrews, Inverness, Isle of Skye and Isle of Bute, said: “One downside I noticed is that there are so many more homeless people than a few years ago. It was heartbreaking walking in central Glasgow; Brexit and the Tories are definitely to blame for that.”
On the other hand, Bruna did manage to get a suntan – in Scotland. “The weather was amazing. We had blue skies on the Isle of Skye, which definitely surprised our guide. In Glasgow, we got 30C and a ton of sun. I ate a lot of local stuff like pies, haggis and pub food. I like it but I can eat it only for a certain amount of time as it is heavy and greasy. I also tried a few Indian restaurants and the quality is just so much better than in Germany. The people are absolutely the nicest and the service is incredible – everyone just talks to you.”
After many months of procrastination, my trip back home has just been booked.
