What's in Cardiff?

[Mark]

The millenium stadium.
The wales millenium centre.
Cardiff castle.
Also cardiff is the youngest capital, it has a healthy balance between city and country, so it isnt as industrialised as london, Cardiff also has the most green land than any other capital in europe. (As told on some tv program). Also Torchwood and Doctor who are based here which is an attraction in itself. Also Cardiff is basically the best point to start going around wales.

In itself cardiff is a beautiful city to visit, as its deep in history and just stunning. The bay has undergone one of the biggest bay investments and the city continues to have money put into it. Its also safer than london, and many people from london agree the atsmophere and general attitude is alot friendlier. I know of 8 people just in my subject group in uni from london which all prefer cardiff to london :biggrin:

[Mark]

May I also say.. the fact cardiff made it onto such an elite list must say something. Where was london? Oh not on it! My mistake

Before it gets personal, I do have to throw my lot in with Twazzle and say that personally ? I prefer Cardiff to London.

Coming from a place like Jersey which has a population of a mere 100,000 TOTAL, I found London to be just AMAZINGLY huge, but STARTLINGLY huge at the same time.

Cardiff is a city that feels more like a really expansive town, and I do find it a much nicer place to spend time than London ... but that's just my opinion, obviously.

!?!?! Shadow !?!?!

Many see Cardiff with everything london has just.. Not so many people, and it takes on the enviroment etc much more on a personal level.. hard to describe..

I would actually like to see Cardiff... I hear it's quite a nice place.

And as far as London goes... like the touristy areas - who don't!? But for living there... can't wait to move out personally!!

See I mean the torist things you cant argue with.. but just the general living there I think the standards are quite low and its so expensive to buy any type of home. Cardiff is quite expensive but theres so many options.

Although the downside is Cardiff is more expensive than london to live in simply as wages tend to be lower.
