Explore England Travel: Painless Things to Know When Traveling to England for the First Time
Painless Things to Know When Traveling to England for the First Time
Whoever said they did not enjoy exploring England
has a deep-rooted explanation behind it, because truth’s out: England is easy to like, enjoy, and be in
favor of the minute you step foot in their airport. London baby, you’re so bloody nice and multicultural, and busy, and welcoming!
Plus brownie points to England, because the place is very travel-friendly,
despite being so populated. You can easily roam around, ask directions, and
blend in like a local.
I know it’s painful to read so many articles that
are a repeat of everything else. Especially if you’re rather in a hurry to get information
as soon as possible. So without adding to that, here are a few painless things
you need to know when traveling to England for the very first time –
Transportation: Explore The City by Foot
Oyster Card is for
England as Octopus Card is for Hong Kong. England is almost
fully connected to the city and its suburbs, so it’s easy to have your own DIY
itinerary when you visit for the first time – you can just trace some landmarks
from the nearest train station and you’re good for the day. Nonetheless, the
BIG (ben) ones in England travel, such as the London Eye, Tower Bridge,
London Bridge, and City
Hall are very close to each other. You can explore all of
it in a day, so better do it by foot.
Money Saving Tip: Do Not Avail Travel Deals
We all know that travel deals are a gamble. Unless
you have pretty good reasons not to do your own itinerary (ie no time, lots of
money), veer away from travel deals if you can. England being a well-liked
travel place, there are tons of resources out there that’ll help any travel
predicament that are FOR FREE How to get to a place
can be easily done. By doing so, you get to save some extra cash, which you can
spend on other good stuff. #budgettravels
Food: Convenience Stores
Similar to Japan, the convenience stores here
in England are indeed convenient especially if you like to try out
inexpensively good filler foods. Yes, you can build a decent 3 course meal by
just buying at convenience stores in England,
and no it’s not like 7/11 – it’s even better. Feeling peckish today, you should
fancy something to eat from the nearest convenience store.
Activity: Never Miss a Musical and a Museum
There’s no place like London when it comes to
Musicals and Museums, and I appreciate now even more, because of UK’s good
imprint on these two culture-powered package. London’s musical scene is off the
charts and it’s like watching a reality show but fifty times better. Museums
are meant to be old and cool, and that’s just how they are in England.
Accommodation: Try a Hostel
Yes, it is exotic, and sometimes outright
dangerous, to try out hostels especially in third world countries. But that doesn’t
mean we shouldn’t consider, especially if it’s a place like London, England.
This great British country is sprawling with backpacker hostels, and budget hotels that are
not only welcoming; they’re addicting to stay at. You can meet tons of friends
from all walks of life from Africa, South America, to fellow Asia folks and
Islanders. There you have it, not so painful to read right -
did I miss anything?
