The world's biggest village

MatthewWorthington

Liverpool is the biggest village in the world. It is big enough to feel like a city, and small enough to feel welcoming. Depsite the stereotypes, Liverpool is a city that entertains you just by walking around it, and listening to people talk.

Everyone I know is suprised when they come to Liverpool, by the fact it's so small, so friendly, and so modern. They all agree that the best thing about this city, apart from its people, is the nightlife, and this is certainly true. Whether you want hip neon-lit, chrome bars, spit and sawdust pubs, old men's boozers, or student cheese, then you will find it in Liverpool.

Afternoon pint? no problem. All night dancing, follow me mate! Oh, and you are never short of a drinking buddy or two...
