I have been there numerous times. There are CCTV cameras everywhere and the crime is small in comparison to Chicago. My son lived there for three years and the biggest problem he saw was a fist fight.

Hello, Fish and chips lol! There is a book by Orin Hargraves called "CultureShock! Chicago". It's a survival guide for visitors and transplanters written in the Queen's English. I hope it helps you.

wait, isn't British guy's question answered in the film, "Love, Actually"?:

"Colin is desperate to have sex and believes that in order to do that, he should travel to Wisconsin because he thinks that American women will dig him for being British."

No, but I once was like Fabio. (Although not quite so built)
