I admit my perception of England, in comparison to Northern Ireland, can be summed up as &#8220;big and awkward.&#8221; Huge roads, huge buildings, huge gardens, and really awkward navigation. Not that that&#8217;s necessarily a bad thing &#8211; it gives the place a bit of identity, I guess! Mind you, that might have been because I was staying just outside the London region. I did visit York a few years ago, but it was basically Belfast except bigger and just as unappealing.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">But I didn&#8217;t go to England to see England, I went there to see my bro!

Boring brother stuff, y&#8217;know.<br \/>\nI did write up stuff on the movies I watched and books I read, so I might chuck them in as blog entries throughout the week.
