well hello there are plenty of reasons to come to Wales apart from the food and
drink like Welsh Cakes laverbread which is seaweed, Brains beer which is
disgusting we've got the cultural icons Richard Burton Dylan Thomas and top of the
list Bonnie Tyler , Gareth Bale Grace Jones (she's from Jamaica) anyway in no
particular order here's our 5 top reasons to visit Wales. Look at that view.
Number one. landscapes from the mountains of Snowdonia all the way up in the north
all the way down to the Brecon Beacons in the south
we've got a lot of countryside and big empty spaces and if it's beaches or
coastlines you want you can't do better than Pembrokeshire National Park over in
West Wales and right here the Gower look at this Beach
you may be able to get a spot somewhere
Reason two. Castles we all actually live in one in Wales, there's over 600
castles in Wales from ruins like this in Kenfig to the grander ones like Cardiff
Caerphilly and Pembroke so wherever you stay you're not going to be more than about
15-20 miles away from one
Number three. The Welsh people culture and the sheep as mentioned we've got
Richard Burton Dylan Thomas as well as the German's favorites Bonnie Tyler
We've got other great actors like Anthony Hopkins Michael Sheen, singers Tom Jones
Shirley Bassey Roald Dahl who was born in Cardiff and of course for services to
old people Catherine zeta-jones mrs. Michael Douglas, yes so if you are coming
to Wales here's a handful of useful phrases we'll start with the classic
over by there, over by there just simply means there. OK it's same sort of thing
as now in a minute, which just means in a minute or soon these classic ones to do
with food 'half and half' half and half half rice and half chips there's a
bottle of pop! that's the bottle of soda daps - training shoes what other classic
ones are there. 'Dwt' - small and what your Gran used to say to you when you have
come in sticky, messy or gross is Ych-a-fi something dirty
something piggy so Ych-a-fi That willl get you through most situations
when you're visiting Wales. tI think I'm being stalked by sheep the sheep on the
hill looking at me over
Anyway reason four. Cardiff the capital of Wales people from Swansea may probably
well will disagree with this. We love Cardiff it's a really
self-contained city it's got the castle in the centre around there's lots of
shopping they've got the big brands like House of Fraser John Lewis as well as
all the independent shops in the Victorian arcades
it's got Cardiff market, what else, Millennium Stadium obviously where the big
sporting event and the rugby are held. Down the bay you've got the barrage millennium
center the big theatre and opera house you can sail on cruises around the bay
what else oh yeah don't forget if you want to see some
sights go to Caroline Street at two o'clock in the morning and see all the
drunks and the girls fight with seagulls over chips - Chippy Alley Caroline Street
that's a bit of fun St. Fagans, St. Fagans Museum of Welsh
Life that's just outside the city you can see all the old buildings yeah
Cardiff number four. The sheep are still staring at me
Anyway reason 5. The weather, the green green grass of home it's green for a
reason it rains all the time look at it. What do you expect it's Wales. There's one
village up in West Wales near Cardigan, a couple of years ago they had 85
consecutive days of rain. Just get your coat on
get wrapped up warm don't expect to lie on the sun lounger all year and what does
happen is because we face the Atlantic the wind comes across the Atlantic
prevailing winds and they bring massive waves and really good swells and they
come crashing around the West of South Wales coast
anyway it was good for surfing great for surfing , windsurfing and kitesurfing snd all
that, all elements are surfing, even online surfing we've got the Internet in
Wales as well, amazing! Anyway I want to wrap up warm because I'm freezing those
