Mavrick,
whatever your opinion on london are, thats your, I like it living in london after lahore. cost of living is higher so are my earnings. so I dont complain about it. crime rate is not higher to comparable cities in the world like New York or Paris. parts of london are crime high areas, like east london or brixton, but rest of the london is safe to live and very safe where i live in london.
I have never encountered racism towards me or my friends i know. since i came here, there may be some incidents but thats not the whole picture.
