"Impressions of the UK: A Journey of Unique Charm"

When you set foot on the charming land of the UK, it's like embarking on a wonderful adventure full of surprises and unexpected delights. On the streets of the UK, you'll notice an interesting phenomenon: men of a certain age seem to be bald, and the severe "Mediterranean" hairstyle is common among middle-aged men. When crossing the road, people are bold and unique. A group of people will move forward regardless of the traffic lights, but the vehicles are very rule-abiding and will always stop to let pedestrians pass completely. This unique scene forms a special landscape of British traffic. "Sorry" and "thank you" seem to be the mantra of the British. Sometimes, just because of an unintentional look, they will immediately say "sorry", which makes people feel their politeness and humility in a daze. Indian restaurants are scattered here, and you can encounter one every few steps. It is said to account for 15% of the total number of restaurants in the UK. And milk tea is also loved by the British, and almost everyone drinks a cup every day, regardless of men and women. Museums in the UK are scattered like stars, and most of them are open for free. For poor travelers, these museums are undoubtedly the best places to go, which are not only economical but also broaden their horizons. The business hours of small shops are unique. They don't open for business until nine or ten in the morning, and they close early at six in the afternoon. On Sundays, it's even more outrageous. They may not open until twelve noon. And they don't turn off the lights after closing. Looking from a distance at night, people still think they are open for business. In the vegetable market, many men who sell vegetables have tattoos, which look like gangsters, which really makes people curious why so many people in this profession have tattoos. Cute children are innocent and lively, but don't pinch their faces or touch their heads without the consent of their parents, otherwise they may face the risk of being sued. British food seems to be relatively simple. No matter what kind of ingredients, either throw it in the water and cook it, or fry it in the oil pan. The method is simple and the seasoning is not complicated. It seems that as long as you can eat it. The train moved slowly, and the slow speed was surprising. The slow shaking along the way, although you can enjoy the scenery along the way, also makes people sigh at the low efficiency. Gentlemen can be seen everywhere in the UK. When a girl is carrying something on the road, there are often little brothers who come to ask if they need help. Except for London, other cities are not so developed, the pace of life is slow, there are small farms everywhere, and cute little squirrels can often be seen on the roadside. The network signal in the UK is really not flattering. Often the phone can't get through, especially in the subway, it's like being out of touch. Only then did I understand why the British like to read books on the subway. The weather is even more unpredictable. The previous second was sunny, and the next second it might rain heavily, catching people off guard. The British don't like to be polite, and they usually say things directly, and they will get impatient if they go around. Animals and humans coexist harmoniously here. Pigeons on the street are not afraid of people. Squirrels in the park will take the initiative to ask for food. If you ignore it, it will leave quietly. Almost everything needs to be booked. Many restaurants only accept reservations, and the same is true for bank cards and doctors. Umbrellas don't seem to be popular in the UK. When it rains lightly, people just walk in the rain. When it rains heavily, they find a place to shelter from the rain. Few people are willing to use an umbrella. If you have a bicycle in the UK, you must prepare several locks, otherwise you are likely to lose it. There are relatively few high-rise buildings in the UK. Except for the bustling areas, they are almost all low-rise buildings, but the architectural style is very beautiful. The UK, a country full of unique charm, every landscape, every habit is telling its story, waiting for people to explore and discover.
