TEXTO
Mark Vanhoenacker, an American journalist who lives in London, says the UK’s not just OK — it’s paradise. These are some of his reasons:
Britain isn’t a good place for cyclists, But for pedestrians it is wonderful. When you walk on a Zebra crossing, all the drivers stop.
British banks are great –you do everything online, and you don’t pay when you take money out of an ATM. And if you want to change banks, the banks do all the work, not you.
The British are very polite when they drive. They don’t hoot, and they are patient with other drivers. They always say thank you when you let them pass.
Chemists in the UK are wonderful, friendly shops and completely different from US pharmacies. Boots sells everything you want, not just medicine, and the shop assistants give you good advice.
Britain is one of the only places in the world where people don’t have ID cards. In the US you need ID when you buy a drink, go to a club, use a credit card, or take an intercity train.
Starbucks isn’t British, of course, but I prefer the Starbucks in Britain. They are nice, friendly places where people read the newspaper and drink good coffee.
