So basically you don't like glitzy or flashy cities that have, you know, oppressive things such as rule of law.
She'll fit right in in Bangkok then. Hahaha.
She basically hates refined, conformist orderly cities and has very stereotyped views of every city she claims to have visited, like the point about CCTV - true but in practicality a total non issue. Take anything she says with a big pinch of salt.
london is not refined, at least no more refined than any other place on this planet.... who says london is refined? the BBC?
what is so refined about those loud nasty women you can see cursing people out in Brixton because you looked at them or because you crossed them and rubbed up against them?
or about those drunk englishmen puking everywhere and then fighting each other while their loud fat girlfriends scream and get punched as well on a friday night?
I've seen that in london
I even recall waking up to see a guy beating his pregnant drunk girlfriend right outside the house I was staying, and it was just saturday night craziness according to them.
STOP, just stop
you grew up thinking you live in the greatest city on the planet, BUT YOU DONT.... at least not in my mind, no need to insult me calling me trashy or uneducated just because I am not impressed by london!

what a bunch of sheep!
I'm wondering why Brixton of all places would be among your port of calls if all you're doing is visiting? And where are the loud ladies who scream at everyone for looking at them? I've never seen them, even in the rough neighborhoods.

She's right about the drunken revelry but it's grossly over-exaggerated. She probably picked it up from some anecdote on some amateur blog and concluded it's always like that.
I obviously didn't say in Brixton, I visited from Brixton to Belgravia to the tate museum to utter boroughs, to kentishtown, to you name it
that oyster card was my best friend
This has nothing to do with Americans or Colombians or Namibia or anything, but I'm reading this on the metro and suddenly the song "The Guns Of Brixton" by The Clash started. what a trip...

Aren't you meant to be in Namibia having fun and games with your captive audience?
