But yeah, there are a lot of good places around England to hang out... there are a lot of cool coffee shops and nice restaurants that aren't too expensive but they seem like they are. It's all walkable and there's a ton of public transportation. I wouldn't mind being there for an extended period time if I had a ton of money. But you'd need to have a ton of money to *really* have a good time there.

UK isn't somewhere you go if you're trying to do things on the cheap, lol. I just... yeah, can't even imagine that.
I'd be hitting up Iceland if I was ever gonna go out that general direction again.

Yeah, the cities are more livable. Also, it seems like a lower stress lifestyle in Europe.

Yeah, very true. I wonder where the younger generation of people similar to me live out there.

I mean, I don't like the crazy commie concept of 15 minute cities and all the control they'd bring down on those populations trapped in what would ultimately be an open air prison. But I gotta say... it is fucking NICE to be able to walk around a city and hit up a bunch of different cool spots to chill, walk to museums, see the general attractions, window shop, you name it. I personally love that kinda setup. Only problem is that to live in the heart of it and have a good quality of life, you gotta have some deep pockets.

I frequently find myself on both ends of the spectrum. One minute I wanna go live in a cave, the next I wanna live in the heart of a city with badass history, attractions to visit, chill places to hang out. That's just how I roll.

I think a lot of people prefer the suburbs though, which is why they are so prevalent. Cities are more fun to visit I think.

Cities are okay. But they are always more expensive.

If it was cheaper to live in a city and I didn't have to give up all my freedoms and take the mark of the beast to live there, I totes would live in a city.

Yeah, same here. They are more convenient. Don't need a car.

I only gamble for fun, not to make money. I like making bets with people. LOL

But yeah. I am a risk taker, just not with my money.

Cards are okay. Yeah, I can play a lot of card games. My parents always played cards when I grew up.

That reminded me. I actually do like the nickel video poker machines.

If I went to Vegas, I'd be there solely for the Cirque du Soleil shows.
