The Britons society and culture did not give a striking impression as to my expectations. The presence of a monarchical system of governance does not mean that the country in itself is the place where everybody wants to visit.

My views change from the first impression I had of it to the current opinion, I have which is as a result of the movies, books and scholarly materials I ...

Areas with oil mining going on attract miners, investors, transport companies and engineers among other people, hence raising the economic value of such areas (King, 2012).

The Asians, precisely the Chinese, thought they had found ...
