I just got back last week from a three-week trip to the UK. I rented a car and drove from London to Dover, then west to Cornwall, then Cardiff, up through Wales, then east to Edinburgh, up to Aberdeen, west again through the whiskey trail, and went camping for a few days in Glencoe (where I didn't see another human for over a day), then flew out of Glasgow.

I was really surprised to see how much green, open land there was in a place so populated. Everyone in Glasgow is stacked on top of each other in huge tenement buildings and then farmland begins right outside the city. In America all those people would be in suburbs stretching out for miles.
