SORRY, BUT I WAS NOT STAYING...
by CURIOUSS
SORRY, BUT I WAS NOT STAYING IN BIRMINGHAM(TOO BIG), BUT IN ANGLESEY AND NORTH WALES.
THE FONDEST THING WHILE I AM HERE IS WALKING, AND ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SEASIDE AND MAKE LONG WALKS ALONG AND OVER THE CLIFFS. THIS IS VERY BEAUTIFULL, AND THE OPPOSITE TO HOLLAND WHERE THE TOTAL NATURE-SCENERYIS FLAT.(HANDY FOR CYCLING THOUGH) HERE IT IS EASY TO GO DOWNHILL, BUT UPHILL IS A DIFFERENT PEACE OF CAKE.(THIS IS INDEAD AT HOME ONE OF MY HOBBIES) THE FONDEST MEMORY OF ANGLESEY IS THE MENAI STRAIT.
THIS IS A VERY BEAUTIFULL STRETCH OF WATER BETWEEN
ANGLESEY AND THE MAINLAND.
A DIFFERENT PART OF NORTH WALES I AM FOND OF IS
AROUND CRICCIETH/PWLLHELI. BEAUTIFULL LANDSCAPE
WITH SOFT ROLLING HILLS.
West Brom

West Bromwich are the third club of Birmingham playing at the Hawthorns. Their fiercest rivals are Wolverhampton Wanderers. Their stadium and support is large, although not as big as Birmingham or Villa
Lotsa shops under 1 roof
by UK_GUY_LOVES_VEGAS about Merry Hill Shopping Centre
Over 200 shop under one roof at one of the UK's biggest shopping malls. Located 9 miles from Birmingham. Everything... There are hundreds of stores from dirt cheap to mega expensive - the choice is yours.
China Town
by UK_GUY_LOVES_VEGAS
As with any large city, Birmingham has its own China Town.
As you would expect this is where the best chinese restuarants are.
This place also has a thriving nightlife, with plenty of bars, clubs and theatres.
Note - beware however, as this is near to the Village (gay epiecentre of Birmingham) - unless thats your thing of course. Depends where you intend to go
Authentic Italian (with Polish touch)
by Maggies about San Carlo
It's one of 4 San Carlo restaurants in the UK but as they say, these are not theme restaurants as each one has its invidual Menu created by its chefs.
There are many Italian waiters and those who are not (these are mainly Polish) also try to speak Italian to you ;-)
Anyway, the one in Birmingham is well worth trying. The interior is very nice and the food is really good too. It's advisable to reserve a table as it gets full in the evenings, especially on the weekends and during the events in the NEC. Their creamy tomato soup is delicious, so is Saltimbocca alla Romana or Scaloppa di Vitello ai Porcini.
