Actually, i've never been to London at all...strange but true, never felt the need...
Where i live, its more open and less 'cluttered', more like the open plains in the US. It was my first visit to the US and i found it quite overwhelming given the size of the 'skyscrapers' there! :O
I must say though, Joplin is more to my liking, however when my friend took us to Walmart and i saw the weapons, i was taken aback...coupled with a guy i saw walking down the street with a sidearm! *SCARY*
