An American in Bristol UK, City Centre

Checking out downtown Bristol England UK. This is my first time in the UK.

Check out the downtown area so I was able to take the bus to downtown and wow this is what the downtown area looks like hi everybody this is Mike and you’re watching Mike town and today we’re in beautiful downtown Bristol in the western part of England downtown areas also Helly there

There’s a building there yeah I’m going to blur out their faces since it doesn’t seem like they want to be in the video but I’m going to leave this part in the video because it’s part of my experience of being here I don’t know if people want to be on camera that’s

Uh a little more camera sh I guess it’s not la commercial so commercial rooms is not where they shoot commercials or advertising videos this is England so it is a pub wonder what this is yeah that’s a hotel Harbor Hotels ahead on the right is the corn Exchange

Building it was a corn and Commercial exchange back in the day but now it’s an office building and there’s a farmers market inside War exchange and they have those really cool bronze tables outside right there so people can write on them and conduct their business course we got two barber shops

Here they got the British Barber Shop company and manscape barber shf across the street from each other England is full of pubs and barber shops that’s the street where we came from down there we saw the downtown area and uh wow look at that we’re almost here at

The river I think that’s it look at this beautiful Street Bristol UK ladies and gentlemen known for being the home of Banksy the street artist and I don’t know if this has anything to do with it but Banky is from Bristol UK and uh wow and now I feel like I am

In Amsterdam or something crossing over the Avon River to the other side little boat look at that that’s a nice River I’ll take it uh over LA River Italian rough wow that over there yeah that looks like a different part of the city a lot newer buildings and things like

That webs I’ve noticed quite a bit of scheps here I don’t really come across that brand in United States much so I don’t know if it’s a UK brand or keg store so this kind of looks like the business center downtown area where we were that kind of look like the old

Town definitely a lot of young people in the city it’s got a college town Vibe because of the University I guess but also I have a feeling just a lot of younger people here maybe for other reasons London didn’t Phil is Young all right we’re back on the bridge going the other

Direction I’m liking Bristol it’s a it’s a beautiful city very uh livable and it feels like uh a real City it’s not a big city but it’s it has a lot of pedestrian traffic just a lot of people uh a lot of young people a lot of cool

Energy and a lot of beautiful buildings the people seem nice and friendly and um they kind of unlike London they they seemed a little colder on London like they didn’t want to be bothered much and British people in general they kind of keep to themselves but if you ask

Them they’re polite and responsive and definitely more so in Bristol where it seems like it’s a slower pace of life here so it’s uh different atmosphere than London more uh late back and uh people are not as uh in as much of a hurry things like that

So it feels more relaxed not as relaxed as bath was because it’s more of a vacation spot but it definitely feels uh calmer look at that it’s a fish bar Barn restaurant right on the river this is also definitely a bike City a lot of people are on bicycles

There’s a bicycle lane here or Road see The Pedestrian walkways here then the bike lane and then there’s a barrier from Cars even though people are riding bikes on uh Main Street as well where the cars are and London didn’t really have have that many people on

Bicycle so this is definitely a bike friendly City there’s also no tuber underground here so maybe that’s why and I’ve got a quite a few steps today already so I might have to call it a day soon
