I would, however, strongly recommend visiting San Francisco. I think you'll love it. Mike Aww, well, then I guess you definitely wouldn’t like Los Angeles.

My sister who lives in Sydney (I'm an hour south of Melbourne) - she lived in the USA for 5 years and says the exact same thing about Australia being more health conscious...with healthy food being more readily available and affordable. A lot more people exercising too. I remember being in London.. Hampstead Heath is it? A big park? If that place was in Melbourne you'd have Mums with prams overtaking it with their power walking buddies... cyclists..runners/joggers.. senior citizens in their leisure suits keeping illness at bay with their daily walk..etc. We have a local river (the Barwon river)..it's an exercise Mecca.. if you're not exercising.. watch out you'll be bowled over by someone running/cycling/power walking or whatever! During *any* kind of weather actually. London does have parks and even a river. I went to quite a few parks.. big one's too..and I often saw people on their way to somewhere (like in business suits)..or in groups on picnic blankets chatting. Anyway.. off this subject..and onto Gordon Ramsay (seeing as I loved your 'Maze' pictures). Tonight 'Hell's Kitchen' is being screened on free to air TV (it's been exclusively pay tv until now). I know the bugger says too many F words and I don't like his methods..but I'm a foodie..I'm still looking forward to the show! :-P You need to go to Italy soon to unwind from that stress. Please have some local salami's, pasta, pizza and anything with mozarella FOR ME! Hey there,

Culture:Sydney (where I've never been so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) is architectually different to London,beaches aren't miles and miles away.The weather is also better which I think plays a big part in people look and be healthier.It's hard to focus on the outdoors when the weathers crap and there aren't that many open spaces in the innercity area,and work hours are so long.But,I do agree London can be a very Lonely place,but arguably,that's where personality and people skills come in...I don't think Londoners are so cold that one couldn't make quite a few strong attachments. Quality of life:agreed! ignorant yobs:Well,those sorts of peiople are everywhere (even in Australia,i bet),and despite being part of the EU,not everyone can afford to travel,London is insanely expensive,as I'm sure you know.And I do agree that there are a certain contingent who just go certain parts of spain and greece etc,to do exactly what they do here-just with more sunshine.But those people in my opinion are a minority.However,despite my opinion that it is a waste to go abroad and not discover the culture ,i do think that since London is so 'stressful' people should be able to dance and drink (in moderation) their worries away (if they so choose),it doesn't have to be an awful thing. Just my 'two cents'. Hmm..interesting post,being a Londoner all my life I have to say I agreed with you on several points.
