Bristol, England


      Pros:                                    
  • Brandon hill.
  • Primark (cheap & stylish clothing store).
  • It isn't hard to find Kebab shops which of cause sell halal food. Other wise just look for vegetarian or seafood options in shops if your hungry. Halal shops are increasing there so it is much easier to find compared to a lot of the other counties.
  • People don't regularly make eye contact but if you ask for help most of them are quite friendly, polite & honest.
  • Most of them mind their own business.
  • Pound land (cheap stuff ).
  • Cabot tower on Brandon hill (reminds me of Rapenzel's tower).
  • There are mosques there.


      Cons: 
    • The shops close too early.
    • It gets dark early.
    • Isn't easy to find tasty halal food.
    • Do your research as it is expensive there.
    • They hardly sell souvenirs there like fridge magnets & key chains there.
    • If you go there by train you would have to change trains as there is no direct transport there except by car but if you hire a driver to take you there it would be vey costly sobs.
    • It is undecided which county it should be in as it's inbetween Somerset & Gloucestershire.
    • The river Avon at the Clifton Suspension Bridge is brown sobs, doesn't look clean.
