England : The land, The country and the people:

1. The bank holiday : Its always on a Monday, except the Christmas, Boxing day and easter.
2. There is heavy council tax, but the services provided are worth it, the council does almost every thing, from cutting grass in gardens to picking garbage everyweek to roads and don't know what else!
3. Leamington Spa : It is a small and a beautiful city located between Birmingham and London. It's simply mesmerising. A relative family lives there and they have wonderful kids. I felt at home instantly there.
They have got a few miles long park that runs parallel to a small ravine. The jhule there were quite innovative.
4. The they have the compressed holidays. You work an hour extra everyday for 2 weeks and then take a leave, the compressed holiday. Isn't that cool..

What's not so good
1, Wanna have a holiday, its a great country but raising kids here is not a very pleasant experience.
2. I don't know how many cups of cofee they drink before they wash their cups!!
3. I haven't seen people this old and fat anywhere else.
4. The TV Licence!! Which country in the world requires its residents to have this kind to licence? Well, I guess they need to support BBC and organisations like that.
5. Taxes: I've started having the belief that this country is being run more by taxes than anything else..
