Synopsis

Cool Britannia is alive and well today. British culture is at the top of its game-in fashion, popular music, art and entertainment, science and technology, new inventions, and in the rediscovered skills and excellence in engineering that make it Germany's leading trading partner in Europe. As a family of nations, the British are inventive, reflective, good humored, funny, focused, and tenacious. Today's multicultural Britain is managing the challenges of integrating minorities in a way that remains true to its fundamental values and beliefs as a fair and open society, one that continues to see itself as a model for others to follow. This concise guide will help you navigate through the culturally rich island of Britain.

As part of the experience, I was ma......more
