A brazilians view of London

British, Personal Add comments

Carlos (Brasil) Villela has written up a review of his 2 weeks in England.

He is spot on with some of the generalizations. Two points:

- Indian food: He has hit this on the head. Indian food is the BEST food out there and is cheap in England (since it is on every corner ;) ). Luckily there are some (albeit few) good Indian restaurants where I have lived in the US.

- TV Licenses: I *wish* I could pay a few bucks and get NBC, CBS, etc with NO commercials. I would definitely be willing to do that. Well, I guess I would be willing to do that.. but now I have TiVo I can skip past the commercials anyway. In the US it is nuts… the amount of commercials has steadily grown and now reaches 20 mins / hour. That is just crazy.

Thanks Carlos, this has gotten me in the mood for my trip back home to the UK in March!

    Well, I tend to disagree that indian food is the _best_ food out there (you should try some of the brazilian, too ;), but certainly it’s great stuff (I love hot and spicy food, so I’m biased), but I have to agree with you regarding TV licensing.

    I’d certainly pay a 100 bucks a year to have no commercials, but then, if there were no commercials, how would you have time to go pee or get some more popcorn when watching a movie? :)

    Some of the commercials are even funnier than the programmes I usually find myself watching, so there’s also another interesting point.

    Have a nice trip back home, Dion, and don’t forget to stop by at the next London Java Meetups, XTCs and Geeknights :)
