And yes, London is expensive, coming from up north in the UK, I'm always stunned by how big a hole it digs into my pocket everytime I visit. I mean, a pint can cost over £2!! ;)

You know ladies there are other cities and other very nice places to visit in the UK...infact there is more than 1 country. You get 4 for the price of one 5 if you count the Kingdom of Man.(that's in the Irish Sea)
I actually love London but I know others hate it. For belly dancing try Scotland, Manchester, Leeds, the South West and yes Liverpool this year
