hi....am currently here in London, and I would answer as much as I can sa mga questions about London....mura pod ko ug sweto noh, hehe.... as a tourist, London is by far a nice place to visit in Europe, there are loads of tourist destination places where you can hang out and enjoy, cost? mahal mahal dyud ang magasto sa mga tourists diri kay london is the 2nd expensive city in the world next to Moscow, just a simple example, a can of coke is 60 pence (centavo kung sa ato pa), so hapit 60 pesos but anyway, that's how is it here, gasto kaayo....about racism? it's quite a tough issue to discuss kay ang London has the most diverse culture in Europe labi na karon nga ning expand na ang ila EU countries membership, so, expect daghan from Eastern Europe diri...nightlife, nindot pod ila nightlife diri, aside sa gastos, just be mindful of your acts kay naa pod usahay nga matimingan pod ka, daghan pod mga gangs diri nga nag laroy laroy sa UK, kasagaran mga itom. If you are into shopping, then pag andam na lang dyud siguro ug dako dako....kung naa ka 1M in pesos, then in British Pounds, naa ka £10,000....dako na kaayo na for simple tourist lang, pero if you go for signature brands..mga bags for ladies LV bags and Burberry nga ang pinaka gamay nga pitaka cost £200, how much more kung dagko nga bag, same goes with the retails here....kung naa moanhi diri sa London, bason pa maka tour ko....guide lang ko ha, kamo gastos...heheheh

Maybe a nice place to be but very expensive in terms of standard of living. Can you imagine riding a train for a distance
of 2 km only and you have to pay 2 pounds (200php). A sandwich for 300 pesos! A minimum cphone top up card for 10 pounds or 1000php.

Anyway, there are several groceries there for pinoys! One is near Earl's Court train station. In this area there are also
some pinoy restaurants. Normally, they offered by buffet for 7 to 8 pounds, excluding drinks pa.

that's what europe is... pero if u go there and work compensate ramn sd imong earning sa imong standard of living first rule: DON'T KEEP ON CONVERTING THE PRICES

to all travellers, if mo adto mog laing nasud for pleasure why worry about prices?
dba pleasure man inyong tuyo? so why worry about their prices you're presumed "CAN AFFORD"
nagtourist gd mo...
just let yourself enjoy the wonders of that place.

kai kng gusto mog barato better have your tour here in the Philippines kai you can surely stretch your budget. :mrgreen:
