Great Britain Today

You can cover the 1667 Kk from the end of the dry land of the South Western Cornwall region up to North-western Scotland in 24 hours by car nowadays – that's how small Great Britain is. This is basically the same distance between New York City and St. Louis. However, the small group of islands situated near the North West coast of Europe has probably influenced the world's culture more than any other nation in history.

Tourists come in large numbers in Great Britain, not only to admire the beautiful green landscapes, nor to personally view the birthplace of Shakespeare, the Beatles, or the place the Queen lives in. They come here more out of the connection their culture shares with the British one.

The britons – this mix of saxons, euro-indians, celts, normands, chinesse, africans, dans and other people – find themselfs today at a cultural crossroad. They are, rightly, proud of their culture, of their poets and writers, their scientists and creators of social reforms which were born on these small islands. They treasure the spectacle of traditions given by history. Bining a the older scene of agricultural landscapes, the medieval houses, partly built from wood and the mountain chains with their metropolis cities, Great Britains offers the world a trully modern and competitve society.

The political Union betweel Scotland, England and Wales – and probably the one between those three and Northern Ireland – is slowly breaking, which doesn't necessarilly mean a bad thing.
