Do you feel racism in your country? Is it complicated to integrate yoursleft with local people or are you used to it? I really like London because the city is a lot of people from everywhere, and everybody seems to be integrated. I don't feel ...
It's not exactly racism but when I lived in Mexico the taxi drivers were really rude to me because they thought I was American. As soon as I told them I was English, they changed their tune immediately! Read More
