If I had a chance to travel to Britian I would choose the city of Liverpool. It is situated in the East of England and has the population about a half of million. It was founded in 1207 but got a status of a city in 1880. Liverpool has always been a major port of England and traded with the whole Europe and West India. In 2007, a new cruise liner terminal was opened in Liverpool, located along side the Pier Head in the city centre. Liverpool is also the home of the Beatles – the most popular musical group. The Beatles were an English rock band formed in 1960, and one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. The group consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney , George Harrison , Ringo Starr.
Since then the city attracts a lot of tourists especially in Summer. Liverpool is also the home of two premier League football clubs: Liverpool FC, and Everton FC. Matches between the two clubs are known as the Merseyside derby. L.F.C is also the English club with the most European titles. In 2007 the city celebrated the 800th anniversary of the foundation. A lot of events were planned, included La Princesse. It was a large mechanical spider (which was 20 metres high and weighted 37 tonnes) that roamed the streets of the city during the festivities. Its 8 legs represented Liverpool’s: honor, history, music, the Mersey, the ports, governance, sunshine and culture. I’d like to visit the city to see its Landmarks and enjoy its mild weather and communication with English people. I would go to football matches and visit old cathedrals. I would be happy to study in one of Liverpool’s university.

We need to talk about Kevin McCallister. As a six-year-old, I saw him as someone to be revered. He was brave, Christmassy and able to eat ice cream without permission. For myself, and many children at the time, he was a suburban hero.

But during the next 25 years and upon many repeat viewings of Home Alone, my thoughts on Macaulay Culkin’s home-defending brute have changed rather radically. What appeared like selfless heroics in 1990 were in fact signs of early on-set antisocial personality disorder. A slapstick comedy became the study of a sadist in training and if anything, that angle only added to my enjoyment.
