    You forgot to mention the Rasta man with blonde dreadlocks who bangs on the bins and wears ski goggles in the middle of summer, he is like the mascot for Cardiff

    If the music career doesn't work out for you, perhaps working for the Cardiff department of tourism or Chamber of Commerce. You have sold me on taking the time to visit when I'm in the UK.
    Great video, have a wonderful weekend. Cheers.

    I think the thing with Cardiff is it's just such an easy city to fall in love with. The beautiful parks, the interesting neighbourhoods and the city centre, there's just something about it. That's why you so often meet people who came to the city to study but after graduating they didn't want to leave so they stayed, found work and settled down here.

    Omg this was really helpful and it actually helped me makeup my mind about studying in Cardiff, i actually did all this research from top safest and happiest cities in uk to best party cities, and highest enrollment universities for international students, it's safe, nightlife awesome, and diverse, there's culture and history and all these great sceneries, oh and affordable too, perfect, thank you again ❤

    You're doing LiveLounge wrong! Start the evening there & load up on cheap drinks while there's still room to manoeuvre & air to breathe. Then, round about the time the bouncers clear away the tables and it starts to fill up with kiddies & the reek of Lynx, get your arse over to Womanby St or Gwdihw or wherever.

    I'm seriously considering moving to cardiff, a lot of my family are dotted around South Wales and everyone who gets on in my family seem to have moved out of the place we grew up, the only problem is my other family and friends are still where I currently live, I was a meeting now hard it was for you to leave family, and friends, cause of course you make friends, and it's such a polite place to live, I've never had any bad experiences my time visiting Wales and the lifestyle is very laid back and hippy like. It's like Australia for that, but was wondering your thought on missing family and friends, if at all. Thanks this has really helped my decision to go even more, my dad does a charity open Mic night, they are awesome.

    its a tiny(compact city) it does not have metro or underground yet, or worldclass italian-french designers it is not on perfume bottles haha,
    as for the expense** if your a UK student from a major english city or anywhere in southern england- then yes its very cheap...
    that is not the same as most locals or welsh** who earn less, virtually no one is on the london living wage** or even comparable prices too bristol, go too the cardiff market it is cheap by most standards- the comparison of cardiff too most places in UK- is suprising, being that cardiff is the populated & richest city in wales....
    cardiff -caerdydd is the only capital city with over 22% green spaces- that is comparable with new york and berlin but not 9% in london.....
    it also does not have any(mega skyscrapers yet)....

    Yes the people seemed nicer but for me personally it was mainly the weather that made it depressing for me. I couldn't live somewhere that was constantly raining. If it was the opposite I'd suppose yes it would be somewhere I'd consider.
