Cardiff aka: Caerdydd

I went to Cardiff with a couple of friends on a whim to see the Wales v. Russia World Cup 2010 qualifier. I was there three days and absolutely LOVED the city. It’s a beautiful place, a really walkable city, the bay is a really good time and the people were amazing from the moment I landed. I was very impressed with Cardiff. Can’t wait to go back!

its a very nice and green place.Well,Carfiff is the capital of Wales.My sis lives there.I love the shopping mall called City Center there , the Cardiff bay is also fabaulous.I really love that city.if I get another chance i would definately go there again.

I was very impressed with the Welsh people and their positive attitude towards their country, its management, and change in general. OUt of the three countries I’ve been to, Wales was by far the most advanced in how they approached national management and attiude. Not bogged down by the old complaints like Scotland was, and not stuck in the illusion of past glory like England, Wales seems to accept its past and present, but looks at the future near and far.

Wales is also better-kept; it is tkaen care of and renovated more than the cities I went to in England and Scotland. The other two countries are like visiting the US – old buildings that are patched or not kept up at all, decay obvious everywhere. Everywhere I went in Wales had buildings and places just as old as anywhere else, but they were, for the most part, well-tended. Over all, I liked Wales better because they made more effort and had less arrogance. I hope to return and visit the west coast; it look beautiful, and has Europe’s cleanest beaches. I also admire their commitment to actually doing something about waste and energy management and sustainability. I am very glad Wales does not follow the poor examples of Scotland and England in those areas.

Visited a friend here for 1 day. It was really nice having someone show us around. And also, Cardiff has a lively nightlife, so of course we got to see all the best places since we made sure to go on a Saturday.

I’m a live long fan of Doctor Who and, with the recent revival of the show, I’ve seen Cardiff for the first time outside of the “Rick Steves/Rudy Maxa” perspective.

It seems like a nice place, so it’s in my list.
