It took more than national wealth and brute force to expand an empire as vast as the British once ruled but Britain has always been more than just a country and a small one for that. Since the olden ages, the real power of Britain lay with its people and their ability to network their influence. A power that allowed them to become the biggest empire in human history from the little island they originally inhabited.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain still encompasses four countries- England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland that come under one united banner. Each takes pride in its own separate cultural identity and is yet is marked by a unique togetherness.

From lush green pastures, the quintessential appeal of the English countryside to the bustling chic life of popular cities, the United Kingdom reflects the character of old, the finesse of literary excellence, and that pretty unique British charm.

Guidelines to Follow

Do not be alarmed if your initial interactions with locals leave you confused. There are certain traits quite common to all the Brits. They are quite reserved and won’t jump to casual chitchat right away. However, it is wrong to stereotype them as rude or impolite. They just aren’t raised that way to be abrupt or get too friendly, too fast. But once you get acquainted you will find them to be quite polite and welcoming.

Choice of Clothing

Be sure to pack yourself a warm coat, an umbrella and some waterproof boats amongst other things no matter what part of the UK you plan to visit. There is a reason the country has a reputation for being rainy and damp.

Weather
