weather and while it’s known as the sunniest City in the north it’s still cold during the winter with temperatures averaging 2° Centigrade everything is gray the look of the city easily gets monotonous the color of the buildings look really similar this extends to the road and Pavements though I’ve never actually seen a pink Road I hasten to add it would be very difficult to describe the look is vibrant some say however that in the Summer sun when the facades are been cleaned the buildings look stunning really According to some many people are just clicky and insula in general even random strangers that you pass on the street could be rude to you for no reason for example if you looked at them in a funny way but why should you many there out in public can be aggressive violent and antisocial fights can break out because eye contact was maintained for slightly too long so Union Street and its connecting streets at night can get pretty wild so keep your eye on the rest of the body so there you have it I hope you’ve enjoyed all that um don’t forget to comment um particularly to welcome uh comments from people from you uh who live in the city who work there who’ve been there
