I used to go to Uni in Brum. It's alright. The town centre is pretty cool, not as big a London but bigger than most other towns in the UK.

Nope not really, bit of a dump to be honest. Alum Rock road for Pakistani food but you probably wouldn't like it.....you can kill about half a day at Bullring.

Don't forget, the whole country is overshadowed by London. It's kinda like home in that respect too - Buffalo's tax dollars are propping up New York City.
I'm sorry if my insensitivity toward your beliefs offends you. But guess what - your religious wars, jihads, crusades, inquisitions, censoring of free speech, brainwashing of children, murdering of albinos, forcing girls into underage marriages, female genital mutilation, stoning, pederasty, homophobia, and rejection of science and reason offend ME. So I guess we're even.

jazakAllah khair :p I'm sure i'll be in the same position as your cousin. compared to bham, i guess you could say i live in a small city. the excitement of a bigger city with more resources will eventually fade and the home sickness will soon settle in.

We produce 20% of the country's GDP. You live off our backs and the only reason you provincial people have a roof over your heads!!

Wow, nillz talk about positive mental attitude!

Birmingham's a great, lively city. It's the 2nd largest city in England, and is set in the heart of england. It has a huge ethnic minority population. There's loads of places to eat, they have a nice shopping centre called the Bullring, and the people seem really friendly in Birmingham (although maybe that's relative to London, where people will beat you over the head if you blink too loud). Also, you can wear your burkha in Birmingham if you want, and fit right in.

I think the hardest thing people find about moving to the UK is the weather. It rains here... a lot. And there's not much daylight during winter months which can have a depressing effect if you're not used to it.

Move to London, best city in the world.

Jam: "Not enough daylight" that's underplaying it..quite a bit. Right now it's just past 2pm and it looks like the sun (wherever it may be) is about to set. In TWO hours, FOUR PM it's gonna be nighttime. I don't think I've seen the sun for weeks. We're lucky today, though, as it's not raining.
